>People that use the "they were here first" argument whenever I or anyone else complains about moose or any other property-destroying animals on my landPeople like this piss me off to no end, because they're invariably the type that treat wild animals like some kind of fucking living lawn ornament. "They were on this land first," give me a break. I was here first. I've been living on this land my entire damned life; moose do not live that long. The last moose to be born on this land probably died before I was even conceived. These animals do not "live" on my property. Said property is surrounded by a gigantic 7' fence that cost over 10k to build back in the 90's. A moose, and anything else, is the "outsider" in this equation. I am all for respecting life in its myriad forms, I really am, but when an enormous retarded deer makes the choice to go out of its way to spend an hour tearing through that fence (one managed to snap a fencepost last winter; that's no small feat even for a thousand-pound animal), I view it as an absolutely legitimate grievance. Animals that don't fear humans are DANGEROUS, I'm not the only one living here, and a large supply of food is grown on this land. Which brings me to another things...
>People thinking that I can just go to the supermarket if the gardens don't do well after an entire summer of work.In other words, I really don't like it when sheltered urbanites make generalisations about my lifestyle.
