First we have to accept that humans are not among the nature. They meddled with nature since their minds started developing and there is no question of restoring back to its initial point. Humans always try to defend what they do and fixes a limit (of intervening with nature) and start criticising what ever beyond that is not acceptable.
Actually we argue to fix the broad acceptable limit, without realising that we have no control on others, therefore the arguments are never ending. Finally the Chaos Effect on nature will prevail one day or other. As a environmentalist or naturalist or whatever we call ourselves, our effort should be to delay the effect. And comfort is(was) the trigger for the effect. That's all I think Subramanyam Kalluri ________________________________ From: Unni Pulikkal <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 28 February, 2011 10:43:16 PM Subject: [ButterflyIndia] Criticism about rearing of butterflies Dear friends, I found this link in the Yahoo group "Kerala Birder" There is an interesting section, rather silly, on rearing of butterflies. http://ajaysekher.net/2011/02/27/mysterious-migration-local-exodus-common-albatross-aralam/ I have expressed my views in the group: "Dear Ajay, Happy to see your pictures and notes. But I am not convinced about your criticism on rearing of butterflies. Can you explain how "it intervenes in the autonomy and ecological rhythm of nature"? What are "its environmental consequences" ? I do not think that what pro/amateur entomologists have done in the field so far is "sustained sadism of the occult and obscurantist sort". The acquired knowledge in the field has only helped conservation activities. There is no record of extinction of a species, not even genuine threat, solely due to collection or rearing activities of any genuine nature. It is welcome to put forward criticism of any kind. But you are bound to explain it logically with clear points to support it, without just beating around the bush and falling prey to emotional discordance. An empty display of negativist vocabulary will not help either." Any words from your side? Happiness to you! unni www.imagery.in .................................................
