Countermotions yet again
Another opposing pair of motions, one toward civilization and the other violently away from civilization.
In Britain, a long-needed move toward civilization:
Mr Grayling said that he wanted to “finally lay the issue to rest once and for all” following a series of high-profile cases where home owners who have confronted criminals have been arrested. In the future, only those using clearly excessive force, such as stabbing a burglar who was already unconscious, should face the prospect of criminal action, he said.= = = = = Meanwhile, literally back at the ranch:
The director of Washington's Fish and Wildlife Department Friday said he hopes never again to have to order the killing of an entire wolf pack, as happened last month. In Olympia Friday, cattlemen and wolf lovers offered the agency radically different ideas for how to avoid a repeat. Rancher Bill McIrvin thanked state officials for eliminating the wolf pack that was preying on his family's cattle. He says it's time to remove wolves from the state endangered list so they can be selectively hunted. McIrvin: "What we would like to see is regional de-listing so that they could be managed more like bear and cougar, which are still there in significant numbers." McIrvin was preceded to the podium by more than a dozen speakers who expressed sadness and anger at the situation. David Hornoff of the National Wolfwatcher Coalition says more needs to be asked of cattlemen. Hornoff: "We expect the state to hold livestock owners to the agreements that they have made to work with wildlife officials in applying non-lethal practices to prevent conflict with wildlife."Well, at least we know which side the fucking genocidal psychopathic mass-murdering director is on. Same side as Idi Amin, Pol Pot and James Hansen. Kill all humans as fast as possible. Leave the Planet[pbuh] to the tender mercies of those wonderful holy delicate angelic elegant wolves and grizzlies. ¶ 5:13 PM
