Kia ora This is pono true here in Aotearoa!
Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal.
Difficult standards for people to live up to.
-Alfred Armand Montapert
I spend a lot of time of the road:
So I see A Lot of things.
I see the absolute destruction that we, (the smartest animals on the planet) are causing.
For me, the development is out of control.
I struggle to see the land continually r***d.
I struggle to see our native animals homes destroyed to make way for high density and shoe box living.
I see family homes, that once shared so many memories.
Christmas’ Birthdays, first days of school, all boarded up now ready for demolition, due to the ever growing, never slowing down, urban sprawl.
Diggers and trucks now a constant sight wherever you look.
Continual road upgrades to accommodate the thousands more cars on the roads.
HUGE acres of land now all with For Sale Signs on them.
“Developers Dream”
“Permits for Sub-Division approved”
The local councils, state and federal governments are profiting off this but always, it’s the wildlife that lose.
I look at confused wildlife standing on a huge piece of flattened land that very soon, will become a concrete jungle.
I see the decaying and rotting carcasses, of animals who stood no chance against 1000kgs of steel, racing down a road with clear visibility on both sides, but didn’t allow for displaced wildlife trapped, because they can’t use their generational paths anymore due to high temporary fencing.
I see their homes getting smaller and mobs getting smaller with nowhere safe to go.
We slaughter animals across the world because in the humans eyes, they are “over breeding”
We slaughter animals for “conservation” reasons
But yet, We still continue to breed.
Still with stupidity, no compassion, no morals, no empathy and no guilt.
We absolutely stink of entitlement, selfishness, arrogance & ignorance.
WE ARE THE PLAGUE, NOT THE WILDLIFE!
I am so ashamed of what we are doing not only to our native wildlife but all animals across the world.
And yet we still continue to believe, and tell ourselves, we ARE the smartest species.
I challenge, our politicians to come out and spend a week seeing what we see!
