That's pretty cool, I imagine being closer to nature they knew the benefits that many creatures bring. In my beloved home town of Charleston, there was once a law against killing buzzards and other carrion eating birds because they cleaned up the many dead animals around the city and the viscera discarded in the market, and so were crucial to public health.
that makes good sense. It's also stepping out of the path of creating dead animals, of the animals that would be cleaning up dead animals. So, a serious multiplication factor of beneficial cleaning by avoiding killing those cleaning machines. Same thing goes for oysters and other mollusks... they clean up an absurd amount of water pollution, and if they would simply add oysters to the east coast bays for a couple years, they would reduce the water pollution so significantly and so quickly!

DeleteYep, all the suburbanites freak out about opossums and armadillos, but they eat bugs-especially ticks which spread lovely things like lime disease.
DeleteI hate to say this Jesse, but that would be too intelligent a thing to do. Sad but true.
