Spot on. The last 4 paragraphs or so are especially good.

Shoot the feral dogs and bring in coyotes. They will haul off and consume all cow parts.

But the environmental movement is about politics and posturing.

Exactly. In the same way, the multiple currently-ongoing environmental catastrophes in China hardly rate any concern.

Now Rann the Kite brings home the night
That Mang the Bat sets free—
The herds are shut in byre and hut
For loosed till dawn are we.
This is the hour of pride and power,
Talon and tush and claw.
Oh, hear the call!—Good hunting all
That keep the Jungle Law!

—Night-Song in the Jungle
from The Jungle Book

Oh great, now they’ll want to ban diclofenac. I’ve been using this stuff since 2002, when I severed my achilles tendon.

After surgery and rehab, as long as I take this stuff I can walk fine, climb ladders and even run a little, with no side effects. I’ve tried stopping it four times so far, each time, within about a week, I can barely walk.

The Soviets, and now the Russians, are draining an entire sea, and nobody gives a damn. The Soviets, and now the Russians, can do no wrong in the environmentalist’s eyes.

Now why would they be so soft on the Soviets? I can’t imagine why...

Paris Hilton should have chosen these vultures instead of her alcoholic elephants to save.

BZZZT!!! Wrongo! I was getting really hopeful that some other commentator was finally going to get it, but alas!

The environmentill move-mint is about money, and always has been. It's about putting the small private domestic firm out of business and empowering the owners of global multinational corporations. They use private, tax-exempt "charitable" foundations to emplace regulations preferential to their investments. That's how it's worked since the days of Roosevelt, when JP Morgan was financing his "trust-busting" attacks on Rockefeller.

Brer Rabbit is immortal.

the first paragraph was great.

But needless to say, I can't manage to shed a tear for vultures.

No sarcasim intended. I hadn’d heard about the vulture problem in India. In the U.S. Congress yes, but not in India.
