Regarding the Reintroduction of Wolves in the Western States

"Healthy landscapes  (!?) require the presence of native (?) plants and animals." Says fucking who? In my opinion--in my well informed and considered opinion--in the very healthiest landscapes there are no predatory animals or venomous snakes which might kill me. Fuck you if you think differently.

Lest, however, I be thought an hypocritical, Philistine bigot incapable of appreciating Diversity, I hasten to make a partial exception (from my implicit Animal Holocaust) for my noble cousin Coatl, Gentleman Rattler, whose family is older than mine, and who warns us before he kills us--so long as he inhabit what I consider desert waste anyway, which I never intrude upon without being wholly mindful of his lordship over it. But bears, wolves and cougars, alas, there is simply no more room for in the continental United States--although there may, still, be room for them in Alaska and, of course, Canada.

Moreover, I think it a heinous and criminal act ever to kill a bobcat or a lynx, unless it were to eat them, as sometimes happens, of necessity, in the northern wilderness. And this, by the way (necessity...northern wilderness), is the only excuse I can think of for the alarming and disgusting practice of cannibalism (killing and eating their fellow dolphins) by orcas--who imagine, I think, that, by not eating us (and only in the most trying circumstances--as, for example, at Sea World--killing us), they have outwitted us. Perhaps they have.
