I knew it wouldn’t be long before we started hearing from the anit-elephant folk.
Mr. Sam Collins points out (in a letter to the editor) that we should not mess with Mother Nature. To that extent we should probably send all them Holsteins and Herefords back where they came from; the Brahmas too.
Then we won’t have to grow so much corn and we can let the bison repopulate the great plains.
I wonder whether Mr. Collins has ever milked a bison. He won’t get as much milk as he could from a guernsey, but at least it will be natural and help Mother Nature keep her continent in balance.
We should be thankful somebody wants to help mother nature preserve the elephant and we can be a part of it. Seems like the people in Africa look at the elephant the same way our forefathers looked at the buffalo as they moved west.
Something to exterminate on their way to the gold fields.
