Walmart has bought a 300-400 acre farm just on the outskirts of my town. alot of this acerage borders on Town property.
About 2 weeks ago they moved in heavy equipment and have been sawing all the beautiful beautiful huge trees all down. It was heavily forested, with huge trees. Seems like they are going to clear cut the whole thing. Sad...
alot of animals being displaced. I suspect the bear is one of them.
I know that I get up in the morning and can find more than the average amount of deer in my back yard. They cleaned off my fruit trees now.
Now we have a fox hanging around just behind the house hunting. Watched him catch a mouse yesterday.
The other day I had to keep the dog in the house because of a porcupine.
And my next door neighbour had a racoon on her back step in the middle of the day. Strange because they usually only come out after dark... poor guy probably had his sleeping trees all sawed down... The faster the powersaws go and the big trucks haul out the wood the more often we are being overrun by wildlife.
It is kind of neat to watch all this wildlife. But very sad that they are all being displaced by WALMART!! and it's new supercomplex to go in.
There is a price to pay for so called commercial progress and I guess that is what I am seeing.
sincerely sad for these poor animals. This is a third generation farm being leveled...
