Slaughter of Baby Lambs by Wild Animals in Massachusetts Astounds Visiting New Zealanders
By Attorney J. Edward Pawlick
Some visitors from New Zealand are astounded to discover we don’t love baby lambs anymore, and we protect coyotes that have decimated our sheep population.
They’re further troubled when they realize they must watch their toddlers whenever they’re outside. They’ve seen the coyotes who stalk pet cats right outside the home.
Their puzzlement goes deeper when told not to allow their children to scamper through our fields, even with adults present, because of the constant danger from lyme disease caused by ticks that live on deer which are protected by law, even though lambs are not.
They’re further troubled by discovering that children are no longer able to go anywhere without being driven --- ever since 9-year-old Sarah Pryor disappeared from the streets of Wayland in 1985 and another young girl narrowly escaped in Weston shortly thereafter. The strange men who stalk our children are protected by extreme feminist judges, like Maria Lopez, who dominate our courts today and feel unexplained compassion for these troubled men.
As a result, our children are driven everywhere in school buses or cars and no longer are able to get the exercise and fun of walking miles everyday, wherever they wish to go.
Yankees Love to Visit New Zealand
The people from New Zealand say that all “Yankees” love to visit their beautiful country with its miles of grassland that sustains its sheep, cows --- and lambs. They are startled to learn that our sheep farmers right here in Metrowest have seen multiple sheep slaughtered in a single night by coyotes that kill just for the fun of it. Those farmers have just given up.
Not long ago, Massachusetts used to be the same as New Zealand when this state was 80% pasture and 20% trees. Now it has changed to 80% trees, but the extremists still “hug” every tree and punish everyone who thinks otherwise.
We told them of the Bambi movie, which appeared about 1937, captivated an entire generation and convinced many that male deer are noble creatures who stay with their young, always protecting them from danger.
We told them of the organization in California, called the Sierra Club, which has made their myths into gospel for students in the schools of Massachusetts and their parents. Movie actors such as Paul Newman decide our environmental policy, along with rock stars.
We tell them that our U.S. Senator, John Kerry, has made this a large issue in the Presidential campaign, saying that he is for the “environment” while President Bush is for the rich men who wish to desecrate America in order to make money. (He never says that of the four men running on the Democrat and Republican tickets, President Bush is last in the amount of his wealth.)
Suburbanites Are Cause of Our Troubles
According to the federal government’s EPA, our greatest danger in Massachusetts is urban sprawl, caused by city people who do not want to deal with the problems in our cities, and so they move to the “country” instead.
These newcomers get themselves appointed to their town’s Conservation Commission and become zealots in the cause of environmentalism. To them, it is a religion.
I first saw the “Bambi” problem in New York state in the early 1950s, while working for Cornell University’s Agricultural Extension Service, when there were so many deer in the area around New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania that they were starving to death in the winter. Many wanted us to drop hay to them.
But the bigger problem was that the apple farmers throughout that area were suffering serious damage to their trees from deer. They tried very hard to get attention to their plight but to no avail.
Those apple farmers went out-of-business years ago and we started flying in cargo planes full of apples from New Zealand, which is exactly on the other side of the world. In addition, we now fly planes full of wool, mutton and dairy products.
Meanwhile, our young men die in Iraq because in large measure, President Bush must keep the oil supplies available to fuel those planes because we have grown too fat, lazy and stupid to produce our own food in Massachusetts.
