Letter to the editor: Rights of all species

Awesome guest Column by Sue Wilson in Sunday's Chronicle. She was very accurate and presented a 'well worded' explanation of the natural world's abuses by we humans.

The current land dispute situation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is just another example of some people's 'sick' view that all land, as well as every living species exists ONLY for human exploitation and anything that gets in the way should be exterminated. ALL species have just as much 'right' as humans to try and survive and thrive.

Look around you, folks. It should be obvious to you that there are way too many people on this planet and we need to work a lot harder at taking up less space and using less natural 'resources'. If we don't, we are assuring that all species, including our own, are headed for extinction, sooner rather than later.
