“Hunting is murder. The problem comes from a culture, including religion, that exalts people above accountability for the harm that they cause others. “~ Jeff Biss, comment on the Wisconsin Bear Sanctuary GoFundMe page

17 people were murdered in Parkland.

Referencing the murder of millions of indigenous wildlife annually does not diminish that violence, but calls us to a parallel issue that must be addressed if young people are to inherit a living world. With two-thirds of wildlife destroyed on the planet in just 50 years, and 60 percent of large mammals threatened with extinction right now, we as a society must end the war on wildlife that is at the core of overall violence in this culture.

We are late to act and there is no guarantee that our species will survive the arrogance we have exhibited by dismissing the suffering and extinction of other species.
