Damn-Dutch

I give you some proof of people losing it collectively.

It roughly started here. In short, deer farmed for commerce taken from their “farm” and to the island of Terschelling. Where they don’t belong, aren’t native and are a threat to the local wildlife, no doubt mostly the plantlife.

A few days later… this.
I know it’s in Dutch, let me explain the basics. Two dozen or so people, including several from the animal party, went on to the location where the first deer got shot and laid down a funeral wreath to show they don’t agree.

I hope they realise that they were raised for commercial purposes anyway and that they were endangering the local wildlife, which should be worth a lot more to anyone reading about this, since it’s an island ecology that’s very easily destabilised… anyone who thinks themselves good advocates for animals should know the delicate balance of island ecologies, even if they aren’t pristine.
