That is the wholes tory right there, and what it comres down to in the long runb is cost. But what is the cost? What price to we pay when we take urbanization to mean total absence of wildlife.
I think about how people complain about noisy magpies, or destructive squirrels, or even, yes, littering birds of prey. But when I walk through these neighbouthoods, I hear loud lawnmowwers, litter and excess garbage that end up filling landfills. My god, who is the real pest here?
I would treasure having a hawk nest outside my house, and if I had to clean up after that animal, or construct a shelter for it so that it doesn't "soil" the beautiful and amazing fucking city sidewalk below, that's what I'd do.
But you know, removal is cheaper and easier, and we are a goddamn lazy and destructive species anyway, so it better fits our nature anyway.
Sad story, all involved should be ashamed, as should we all.
Peace,
