Agenda 21 in action, straight up. Rewild the rural land by evicting humans, and all done without a single shot fired. Political correctness makes it unpopular to oppose the environmentalists, so humans lose.

I hate he UN more than ever. It is just a matter of time until UN Agenda 21 is fully implemented. Future American generations will live in oppression straight out of science fiction.

In San Francisco water restrictions would not make much of an impact; those animals defecate on their own sidewalks and kitchen tables.
