Elena Garcia tackles the festering impact of feral animals on the Australia's ecology. New on 'Soil Alliance'... "Feral animals like camels, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, foxes, buffalo, deer, pigs, and horses, and introduced weeds, continue to push native animals to extinction, erode and destroy our grasslands, forests and riparian zones so our waterways silt up; bare the topsoil for erosion by overgrazing; and directly or indirectly eat or compete with our native animals and plants and our livestock industry. They are an increasing threat to farming viability....Any attempt to have this debate has been controlled up to now by sentimentalists and animal liberationists who have hijacked any attempt to stop the extinctions of our native animals and protect our environment and regulate humane feral animal control. We need to strip the sentimentality out of the debate and stop worrying about eating Wilbur, Bambi, Thumper, Pussy, Buck and White Fang, Reynard, Thowra and Storm, or exporting them to people happy to eat or use them, and instead see clearly that if we do not manage our land we will be left with a desert, whether we personally choose to eat or use these animals or not." https://soilalliance.blogspot.com.au/2016/12/harvesting-ferals.html _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
