How cool is it to live in a territory shared with wolves, bears, coyotes, foxes, snakes, eagles and thousands of other life forms? These creatures are part of our heritage, and are assets on the balance sheet of the North American territory. The primordial connection we have to the land is inexorable from these native species. A lot of these animals cull themselves, and although violent at times, have every right to the land as we do.
I get it: We outsmarted them with our knowledge, and leveraged means of control and destruction, yet would you want to live in a sterilized place where these creatures were destroyed only to make our lives a little more comfortable?
