I'm a little off topic, but this news story will forever stay in my brain, and it's from 15 years ago. During a development boom a lot of mountain area was cleared for housing in the North Vancouver Area. Well. SURPRISE! People were finding cougars in their yards. A woman who was being casually interviewed had had her cat eaten.
She said, and this a direct quote.
"They just have to do something about this wildlife!"
What do you say to that?
I'm a vegetarian because my heart breaks at the way animals are raised for food. But with wild things, even I think nature is nature, and it was doing just fine (well much better) before humans felt they could rope off an area of it and name it a "park".
You could catch a wild bird and keep it safe from harm by caging it, but it would still be a cruel thing to do.
