I only know a small piece and I can see it. But when I was eating flesh I never gave it a thought. It true that the information stays carefully hidden behind the steak and bacon. <br /><br />Still, once people know... Especially those engaged in causes that protect the environmental, and they continue to ignore the data and the solution - Well... I don't know how to penetrate their circle of concern after that. <br /><br />And the eradication/wolf hate? It goes beyond their predation of the livestock picnic set before them. It's the lust the hunters have for the elk and big buck. And don't those folks claim to be "nature lovers" and Earth's caretakers? :/<br /><br />As always, thanks for your input and working towards the fix.Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-27385862615890173922013-09-12T03:36:08.991-04:002013-09-12T03:36:08.991-04:00I've been immersed in wildlife and environment...I've been immersed in wildlife and environmental issues for a number of years now, and I'm often surprised at the many people who see no connection between beef, as one egregious example, and land destruction, along with wildlife harm. I've attended numerous fund raisers for bird-oriented groups where "bird" was the main course. I see photos from fellow wildlife-loving photographers in the same gallery as their barbecued steaks. <br /><br />Putting aside my personal feelings, I believe it's incumbent upon anyone invested in environmental issues to at least look at how their food habits are subsidizing these ecologically damaging industries. I don't think that's a lot to ask of people who are otherwise conscious and committed to wildlife and habitat preservation. So many wildlife issues today have at their core, a direct linkage to ranching or farming (e.g. Gray wolf eradication). It really seems like a no brainer to refrain from funding those intermediary players in the scheme.Ingrid Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158548000920010049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-89168982680385284812013-08-29T13:16:58.587-04:002013-08-29T13:16:58.587-04:00We can stop.

None of our fellow Earthlings engage in such evilness...only us...and seemingly voluntarily. It isn't required and we can quit...can't we? You have...I have...so it's not mandatory. Our destructive ways are elective, we can stop. veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.com
