It had an interesting chapter on how people thought that taking out animal predators, such as wolves, coyotes, cats, hawks and falcons would be "good" for the species ecology (even details on "hawk shooting" to allow gamebirds to "recoop" their numbers). It also reminded me a little of ecological disaster science fiction novels from the 70's, like "No Blade of Grass".CloudSampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459873067554831037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-32772931864249483702011-01-29T21:18:24.696-06:002011-01-29T21:18:24.696-06:00This is interesting.
