Re: Moral dilema
No, I read them. And noticed how many times you came back with "yeah but" to some very well thought out and reasonable posts.
Again, your concern (and application) seems very arbitrary to me.
After all, you said that you're a meat eater, so concern with wish invasive plants that you are removing makes very little sense.
Do you really want to go there? Because I CAN explain in detail about my tracking issues and why I use the posting style that I do if you really want me to. Or you can just deal with the points made.
And it was predicated on the idea that I have some emotional attachment to cute little squirrels. I'm not going to play that game.
I come from a family of hunters. Responsible people who took the preservation of the herds and the land that sustained them seriously. Getting caught up in "respect" issues didn't happen because it was counter productive. Rather peace was made with the necessary choices and life moved on.
And don't assume that there was no respect for the spirits involved.
Why do you keep assuming that I missed things just because I don't agree with them? No, I didn't miss them. They are what I was asking you about, because I fail to see the problem. In fact I find your "morals" to be getting in the way of proper stewardship, which causes FAR more problems than pulling up an invasive species, IMNHO.
Feeling morality righteous is nice and all, but it's not always "right" "good" or remotely "productive". So I'm trying to get you to look at WHY it's a "moral" dilemma at all. What are you getting out of holding that particular moral POV?
Better stop walking on the grass then. Actually better stop breathing.
If you're really going to use such a broad ideology, you're going to be feeling bad about pretty much everything. But that IS your choice.
Okay so you think you should be giving respect to an invasive species (you have a reason for that, right?) fine. So what are you going to do to GIVE that "respect"? Because unless you plan to STOP your conservation activities, you're going to have do something OTHER than taking a live-and-let-live approach.
You may want to live in a black and white world, but no one else is obligated to, nor is that how nature itself works.
