Speaking of Mammals, that brings up an interesting point. The very ones that have completely extirpated the turtle trade here in Texas just have boodles and boodles of Exotic Game Animals on their extensive private land holdings.

Someone needs to start a grass roots effort in regard to the potential harm their Exotics do to the Natural Flora and Fauna. Sound the alarm! For example, the maintenance of Domestic and Exotic Sheep and Goats have completely degraded the indigenous Flora of West Texas. Val Verde County and vicinity, for example.

What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander, in my book.

I'm not quite sure why the Academics have made a deal with the Devil, but they sure have. That's another story.
