Letters Learn to co-exist with wildlife Published in THE JOURNAL NEWS, 12/26/05: Why is it the human species has no tolerance left for wildlife they deem
a nuisance? It is either the deer, the beavers — and now again the geese ("What's
good for the goose. . ." Dec. 15 article). It would be honorable of us to
just be tolerant of other "living beings" we share this earth with. We bulldoze and build and then wonder why they stand in our yard or park.
We pride ourselves upon being the more "intelligent species" and yet all we
want to do is eradicate instead of using non-lethal measures. Keith Cox of
the Lake Secor Park District Advisory Board had a "great summer," but
30-plus innocent geese were slaughtered. If you compare geese droppings to the toxic chemicals (pesticides) made
in laboratories that are poisoning our earth and water; perhaps the humans
are the real nuisance to our precious "Mother Earth." Animals are not
perfect, and neither are humans. Let's give wildlife a break and try some
compassion and tolerance. We have destroyed many of their homes where they
also raise their young. The earth belongs to them also; let's not judge them
so harshly. Sandra Kantor , Briarcliff Manor Fair Use Notice: This document may contain
