Regarding Piping Plovers and other losers

[urbpan]

A group of zoo staff recently went as a group to a local beach to help restore habitat for shore birds, including piping plovers. A friend posted on facebook about it, how much they enjoyed the day, and how he appreciated learning about the complexities of doing conservation work when different stakeholders have input and so on

It is also a stupid sentiment, expressed cruelly. F**k the polar bears, rhinos, frogs, and every other creature that didn't plan on human ignorance and greed.

I'm with you.

Some people don't want to be made to care, don't want to think about what it all entails. (And some people are just callous assholes.)

But I'd rather care. I like all those creatures.

Actually, a British friend of mine told me the house sparrow is having a population crisis in England. Infectious disease, possibly. So not even house sparrows are a sure bet.

And I think the anti-plover commenter was just repeating something she'd heard somebody else say. Here on Cape Cod, people say the dumbest things about piping plovers.

i haven't seen a single house sparrow while i've been here.

Jeez, do you think they'd mind if I sent over the House Sparrows who empty my bird feeder every week?

Well, the person I talked to would be very amenable to that. She said even the government is getting involved with conservation efforts. I don't know if customs would be thrilled, though.
