My god! How does one deal with the heavily entrenched brainwashed nonsense being fed to our kids and repeated in earnest by an equally brainwashed and ignorant media?
We have wrongfully been bombarded with nonsense about how wolves are god-like and cause rivers to change directions. Now it’s bears.
Evidently, in Florida without bears, the world will come to an end. And from the author of this nonsense propaganda, human-hating, animal worshiping, idealistic opinion piece, it appears the only solution being suggested to saving bears is to kill humans.
Efforts to relocate problem bears have not been a success in Florida; there are no more wild places for the bears to comfortably reside without the need to scour for food in human habitats.
This person’s entire nonsensical ideology is garbage. It’s only support comes from useless propaganda described by those who have bastardized science, as “peer reviewed” studies. Peer review is useless. It has been made into a tool for fraud and money making propositions.
This writer is ignorant of anything to do with what she describes as an “ecosystem.” All animal worshipers who place animal life above that of humans, refuse to include the human animal in anything they discuss of their fake ecosystems.
A healthy ecosystem is extremely important for the success of humans. A thriving apex predator population is important for seed regeneration, pest control, healthy water and soil, along with many other crucial environmental happenings. Black bears are the apex predator of Florida; without a healthy black bear population the ecosystem becomes unbalanced. The health of Florida’s little remaining natural areas relies heavily on black bear contribution. Black bears maintain the health of nature for their own species, as well as for the health of all other species in the area.
I wonder how areas around the world have ever survived that don’t have bears and wolves? Portions of the United States went without wolves for nearly 100 years. Those areas must have been on the brink of disaster according to this nonsense.
And now we have more of the same placing a bear above that of humans while at the same time bestowing it with powers greater than God himself.
This author admits the reasons bears are bothering people is because there’s too many bears and not enough habitat for them. That’s called in wildlife management as being above the carrying capacity of the land. The writer doesn’t want bears killed and so I assume she is suggesting that we either start forcing people to leave Florida (I’ll be right behind her) or perhaps we establish a panel who can decide who the useless eaters are and kill them all off to make room for bears.
Animals are animals. They are extraordinary creatures, but there is no such thing as a “balance of nature.” There’s no such thing as a predator that causes rivers to change course, water to run clean or bushes to grow miraculously. Bears may be an apex predator in Florida but man is a keystone predator and in the grand scheme of things, the keystone trumps the apex. That’s why we have wildlife managers.
