Are Your Children Safe From Animal Rightists Even At Your Local Library?

Never Underestimate Stupidity

Nancy Levant

This gem of a title fell out of the mouth of my youngest child after she had attended an animal presentation at our local library. She went to see amphibians, owls, snakes, turtles, and a raven. She was, however, far more stunned and amazed by the messages delivered to the audience, of which more than half were children.

We can well imagine the global warming, invasive species, habitat corruption, endangered species, blame-the-human scenarios that were, in fact, labored upon by these nature experts (a-hem), but even the children raised their eyebrows when “the farmer” was ultimately blamed. It just goes to show that land confiscation missions have no shame or conscience.

The presenters were very young apprentice ecologists – probably lowly or unpaid summer laborers for the DNR via The Nature Conservancy – or some such “partnership.” These kids probably received college credits or room and board for the summer in exchange for presenting canned lectures to the public.

The main focus and intent of the show was to relay to a young public a message of warning about “farming.” Farming, they said, destroyed habitat and animals. They pressed this message home again and again. One child raised her hand and states, “Maybe if everyone grew their own food and raised their own farm animals, we wouldn’t have to have big farms.” The youngster delivering the gloom and doom eco-messages was momentarily stunned into silence.

He finally said, “Well, considering how many people are on the planet, that probably wouldn’t work.” So, the questioning child reiterates, “So you’re saying that all farming should stop?”

“I’m saying that farming pushes wild animals off the land,” said the eco-student.”

“So, what is the world supposed to eat if there are no farms,” asked the inquisitive child? And the eco-student said he had to move on to the next endangered animal – leaving the question of the day hanging – much like all eco-truth.
