many of us would lift a finger
to stop such killing; and if we
tried, what would the reaction
of so-called experts he
Just the other day I put the
following question to a veter-
inarian, "If I found a dead fish
or bird on my property, are
there facilities in this province
to detect accurately rhe cause
of poisoning?" The answer was
"Yes, if you are interested
enough, there are one or two
places that could carry out
such analysis, but they like to
stay away from this type of
thing. since it often leads rc
complicated lawsuits."
To be quite honest, this an-
swer shocked me, but I stave it
sone more thought. Are we
not all guilty of this same type
of fear? glow many times have
you or I seen a wrong done and
kept quiet about it, fearing
criticism or other unfavourable
repercussions? The saying that
is often used is "I don't want to
stir up any unnecessary trouble:
But is this valid when the life
of an animal is involved? --A
few robins here and there, a
few speckled trout, or even a
lowly little mole? To me it
does matter, but I think I must
be in the minority, because if
more people cared something,
would have been done by now.
Now is the time to start think-
ing, before we get a chance to
cause the harm to our wildlife.
I do not advocate open re-
volt against anyone with a
spraygun in his hand, but rather
suggest a better knowledge of
the dangers involved, resulting
in a more selective type of
spraying,
Spring IS coming, but letus
make sure it will do so again
next year and to future years,
so that our grandchildren may
see some of the beauty which
even now is being pushed furth-
er and further out of our im-
mediate reach.
