That's exactly what happened.
My wife and I wanted to keep it in its pristine beauty. The wildlife was spectacular--the forest old growth.
My wife and I were vegetarians. We didn't allow hunting or fishing on the property.
I loved being there and watching the animals.
A family of deer lived in the forest.
One night I scattered dry cat food on the wooden deck and counted 30 raccoons and 1 possum who came to dine. It was unreal
There were skunks, armadillos, foxes--lots of birds--all sorts of fascinating animals!
I told those people exactly what I wanted to do: keep it beautiful and unspoiled forever--a sanctuary for the animals.
They didn't care. They weren't interested in that. They were interested in being Big Shots and bullies--in claiming as much control for themselves, the state, and their fellow quislings.
Some of the suggestions they gave me were risible.
Sure I made millions, but I wept when I heard the saws begin cutting down the forest.
I don't know where the animals went.
A hunting club was not far away.
Yup. They showed you didn’t they. Jerks!
