They’re Killing the Wolves Again

Posted by Bob Brown on
In Northeast Washington, we taxpayers are paying sharpshooters from airplanes to kill a wolf pack. This because a rancher complained that wolves eat his cattle that are grazing free on public land. Eliminate the wolves to save a few more hamburgers. What an unprofound (I can’t say the other word) civilization we have.

It is just another sign that we are just a 0.7 I civilization, as Carl Sagan said, on a scale where I = minimally accomplished, with concern for the planet and all life; II = an accomplished civilization with sustainable energies sufficient to exploit space, live peaceably and sustain our planet from anything but huge meteorites, nearby supernovas or sun meltdown. (There’s III, but it’s way out there so far as to be unrecognizable by us primitives, proven again by the Washington Fish & Game Dept.)
