And this is a great example of why I want to study anthrozoology in a cultural context and educate the uneducated.Elephant problem? These beings have as much right to be here as we do. Killing them for needing to share the limited resources and space is NOT the answer.
The idea that there is an elephant problem because they are existing rather than vanishing is a great example of the terrible wétiko mentality.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be envisioning a post-Civilized existence and moving away from the insanity of Civilized living.
Activists who do the work of halting Civilized ecocide need people promoting the validity & necessity of it, providing refuge against the State's reprisals (& later, prisoner support), and creating an awareness which moves from excusing to accepting to sympathizing even among jurors.
Keep up the consciousness-raising.
Thank you for the feedback and info!
