And thank you for the well wishes. I didn't and don't doubt the sincerity. I don't agree with a point of view, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't sit down and have a coffee with you. I have friends, however disillusioned I may think they are and they of me, that sit on the opposite side of the fence that I do.
However
My point was that common sense dictates what my beliefs are. I've seen first hand the devastation introduction of foreign species can have on the environment. I've also seen the same devastation that a poorly done native species can also wreak on the environment. I've also seen governments and the feedlot companies, well, let's just say be very economical with the truth when it comes to some of their "outcomes".(Think John Van Dongen warning of inspections, the government reducing or eliminating fines for transgressions, then I looked up political "donations" from these companies and the way they brought the government around to their way of thinking) There isn't enough inspection and oversight and when something goes awry, it just gets swept under the rug.
I don't need a bunch of self serving propaganda to see the forest and I have enough common sense to reach what I consider to be a logical conclusion, without someone or some entity feeding me what accumulates under a feedlot.
