Dan, I'd of bet my last plug nickle that Rattlesnake's didn't show any attention to newborn babies. Can't ever recall reading where it was documented they did; nor have I ever observed anything to suggest it. Great observation; books are great but rarely trump personal observations. I'll file that bit of knowledge away and likely use it in an argument someday. RE: the habitat destruction problem. I feel your pain and everyone else's who are dismayed by progress. Go back far enough and all our present homes and yards were once pristine habitat. Don't feel too hard toward those folks. They're just doing what we all have already helped to do before. As for me, I'm ready to go back to tribal life (not that I was ever actually there) and erect a teepee (ssp). Problem is, not enough are willing to go along with that type life style change to make a difference. Damn, sometimes I wish CH and company had won.
