I fought for five years, trying to protect an enormous, gorgeous, dense, old-growth forest from the enviro-fascists who slapped me with one mindless regulation--and expense--after another. I made it clear that I wanted to preserve it in its pristine beauty and to protect all the wild animals who lived there. I also told them that if they didn't cooperate with me and stop harassing me, I would have to sell the property, and the buyer would likely destroy the forest for urban development. They didn't care.
Sure enough, they kept it up. A developer offered to buy it at a huge profit to me. The forest is now a desert. The animal habitats have been destroyed. My wife and I were heartbroken. I almost cried.
The enviro-bullies apparantly were pleased. They showed who's boss.
Was I surprised? No. I've understood what Leftists are for years.
Don’t take this the wrong way. I think your biggest mistake was not letting hunters on your property. Hunters are the biggest environmentalists I know. They understand how to preserve areas, prevent deforrestation and maintain the delicate balance of nature.
Hunters from my area went out, planted trees, helped owners preserve their land in return for an opportunity to land a deer which they would use for food.
You would have had hunters support. Hunters are environmentalists kryptonite.
Can you expand on that please?
