Scrappy Species v. Mother Nature
Fires are threatening the red squirrels on Mount Graham. I applaud the efforts of the conservationists to save the squirrel population (although there are also red squirrels in England), but I was suprised to see the quote against the conservatory. A man who is taking great measure to save some squirrels stated he doesn't care what happens to the conservatory, because he told them not to build there. The thing is, both the squirrels and the conservatory are in harm's way because of a lightning strike. The squirrel population was thriving despite the conservatory.

It is clear the conservationists are passionate, but they ought to check themselves when they begin to have more compassion for squirrels than men.
