Via Hognose, who also has some things to say about this enlightened individual, we meet an accomplished academic scholar who takes on the real problem of the day in a humane, thoughtful, and above all hilariously stupid manner…
Wild animals endure illness, injury, and starvation. We should help.
Our outrage and compassion shouldn’t stop there. Human exploitation of animals is horrific and needs to be stamped out, but we should consider taking action against another considerable source of pain and suffering for wild animals — nature itself.
…
The natural suffering of wild animals is real and breathtaking in its enormity, but incredibly little is being done to reduce it. Although many organizations work to preserve ecosystems and biodiversity, few focus on the well-being of individual animals. And despite more people taking notice of the torment wild animals endure at the hands of humans who hunt and poach them, little thought has gone into the question of how to help wild animals avoid natural agonies.Wild animals aren’t that different from the dogs and cats we love, and they deserve the same level of compassion. We must try to help them, if possible, with careful consideration to be sure we don’t cause further harm by disturbing the ecosystems on which we all depend.
Read the whole thing, because the funniest joke is the unintentional one. And as far as I can tell, even though there’s a genuine laugh line in every paragraph, this person thinks that he or she (or whatever) is being serious as a heart attack.
Good grief… I almost have to assume that this is a “bubble” person who has never set foot outside. I invite he/she/whatever* to venture outside of the padded room and actually visit at least a zoo. She* needs to have at least some remote idea what a WILD ANIMAL is, and how they react to people in general. I can just see her* attempting to put a bandaid on a moose or a grizzly bear. But, of course, like all the other irrational do-gooders and envirowhackos, she* has little or no interest in doing anything like that herself and only wants to control others. She’s welcome to pet the buffalo… but she’d better have made her own arrangements for a funeral.
I will admit up front that I though this is some sort of satire. I thought that there could be no way that this could be real… Then i found this

You will have to scroll down a bit to find this wing nut but he is there non the less. Gee and I thought the PETA freaks were off the rails.
People like this scare me
One of the saddest things about life in these here United States is how often and how closely so much of it resembles satire.
“What can we do to stop wild animal suffering?”
No problem.
+1 for Bear!
