Satire:
Beautiful Place
for Animals
By
Mickey Mouselover
November 2001
This
guy sent me this picture of his beautiful pumpkin patch. And I was
enthralled with its autumnal beauty.
But
then he put in the zinger.
He
wrote that he had just taken off the netting which protected these
pumpkins from deer, woodchucks, skunks and squirrels. Imagine being
so selfish as not to share his bounty with our little friends.
He
even went so far as to say he would hate to be a commercial farmer
because it would be impossible to protect the crop from "these
varmints." He said that it was people like me that had driven
away most of our farmers and made us waste millions of gallons of
oil in order to fly our food in from California or New Zealand.
He
accused me of ruining our environment. He said it was me that made
us so dependent on foreign oil that we have to kowtow to terrorists.
But
the worst was yet to come. He said that at least he could kill the
squirrels.
Kill
the squirrels ! !
He
wouldn't say that if they were as big as he is. What a bully! There's
so much work to be done that it just staggers me.
We
need all the help we can get. Please let me know what you will do
to help.
