Most people have our difficulties, caused by wildlife, as well as our interest in learning about wildlife and our desire to have some around. I've been know to relocate certain animals that truly destroy parts of my yard, not to mention killing a few insects that are just too harmful...like ticks for example, if I find any, they're not going to survive. I swat the skeeters that are trying to bite me and try to prevent their development by emptying or changing out anything that contains water. I'd really love to be rid of wild hogs, a nonnative species which are very harmful to the land and other wildlife, occasionally attacking humans. But that would be extremely difficult. And for the most part, I just use a live-and-let-live philosophy. Gardening organically is a gift to ourselves and all wildlife, but everyone has choices, not all will choose that way.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
