6. You're right, 2na... we need to learn to adapt

to the changing environment. But always remember what caused this... WE moved into THEIR spaces. We're making them adapt to us... or, most likely, they'll be killed because their instincts are the same in the environment, regardless. I know there are areas of the country that have set aside wildlife only refuges, and I support these. But we're still trying to just "cage in" animals in the wilderness that use to be theirs. I see it as something to be grieved over... while still understanding the grief and fear that comes from being attacked by dog(s). My attack was by a cocker spaniel when I was in my early years, and I still bear the scar from the ordeal. So, I'm not downplaying the concern... just wish we'd stop trying to make Mother Nature adapt to US, rather than us adapt to Her.
