Urban Wildlife Conservation. Cities today are growing and growing with urbanisation and engulfing the surrounding green land. Is anyone bothered by this? What are your opinions on the matter? do share.

I think if Wildlife wants to be urban it should be called Tamelife... or housetrainedLife at least. If it wants to live with humans, that is.

What aspect of this issue did you feel required discussion?

One thing I am upset with is all the Guppy mills operating around the world. I think the Guppies deserve better conditions.

Perhaps, if we concreted over a bit more of the country, we could leave the wildlife to stay in the other parts? The last time I looked we'd only actually paved 5% of England. What on earth is wildlife straying out of its 95% for?

maybe that's what we are supposed to be upset about.

"Put That Wildlife Back Now Where It Came From Or So Help Me" I believe that's a song from Monsters Inc.

*titter* You two are so terribly clever and witty, what a rare pleasure it is to read your posts.

Here's some info I found online with little help from my handler at all... I'm sure there's more info available if anyone's interested.

This, surely, is a new definition of "integrity" I've not met before.
