How many different kinds of mammals are gone or on the edge of existent in England I wonder? Isn't fox hunting a traditionally rich ($) endeavor in England and Europe? Whereas fox walk all over place, for the most part, here in the U.S. Mark 13-02-07: Hi SA, Allot has been lost in England. I love folk rock and the ancient song texts refer to many animals we don't see any more - wild bore for example. This island has been decimated. The Fox thing is largely a class-sport for toffs - more about having a jolly rather than killing fox's. The Labour government got rid of it as much as a pay back for Thatcherism than on moral grounds.

Human population is, I think, the whole problem. I know this might be simplistic, but human population is why this snowball global warming, extinction, and deforestation is happening. Larger populations have all kinds of other spin offs, too. Armies to protect food supplies, and geographies, etc... larger and larger central governments, more and more regulation, and less and less individuality with more social, peer pressure, due to lots more social and peers (large population), etc... Imagine if China and India try to consume as much as the U.S... ggeeeeeeezzzzz! thanks. the big snow storm, SA Mark 13-02-07: I agree. Humanity has become an infestation which by definition is pathological to the biosphere. The biosphere will win hook or by crook and we should not forget this.
