Apparently, raccoons are another creature that has been adapting well to a "civilized lifestyle" just about everywhere. I remember reading some months ago that there are actually more raccoons inside of cities than there are outside of them. A lot of it is exactly what you mentioned, mankind trashing every single place they inhabit, and not being responsible for them selves. Of course, someone who lives in a high-rise apartment can't very well go out and dig a hole to bury their garbage like people who live in the country are able to do. But even so; the attitude today seems to be one of irresponsibility, and expecting someone else to clean up after all of the trash that gets dumped, and the food that is wasted. Maybe God is sending in the animals to do the job?
Because the government has released wolves back into the environment in places where they had been eradicated; we are now actually getting more of a wolf population in the wild, as well as a coyote-wolf hybrid. In northern Idaho, they are actually driving the deer, elk, and even the moose out of the mountains there. I was talking with a longtime friend who lives in a small town there, and she said that they had 3 moose in their front yard all morning. Since they had not even had any snow (which is what usually drives the animals down out of the mountains), I asked her if she knew why the moose were in town already. She said it was because of the wolf packs killing so many of the deer and moose, so they are moving closer and closer into town now.
Who knows what will happen if all of the animals lose their fear of people and take over our cities ? It gives me cause to wonder what our world is coming to, Dancer.
