I’m a bit discouraged now about, they have programs called “When Animals Attack People”. Animals are the last thing that people have to worry about. The incident of a person being damaged by an animal is so small that it’s dramatic when it happens, you know, Siegfried and Roy, or the woman up in Stanford that got bitten. But is it so rare that the media exploits it, and they’re now teaching a lot of people who have no connection with the natural world that being out in the outdoors is dangerous. And that’s unfortunate because we’ve got the challenge of the 21st century is to get people to enjoy the outdoors and reconnect families and children with the world of nature. That’s the challenge. If we don’t respect and enjoy the world and nature, we’re not gonna really save much.
