~ An animal that is hunted and killed by humans but you think it should not be: Any animal in a place with a "REFUGE" in its title. What part of the word "REFUGE" suggests allowing seasonal hunting?

~ Do you know of a specific wildlife habitat that humans go to so they can tear it up with things such as ATVs, oversized pickup trucks, etc....for their own amusement...destroying that land/water and therefore doing great harm to the animals and plant life? I don't need to look far. Whenever builders claim land for new houses they destroy automatically wildlife habitat. No wonder we have so many rabbits now,raccoons and skunks are daily in my garden. Their homes are getting smaller and smaller......another subject that is sad to think about

~ Have you seen anyone raking up all those beautiful, colorful leaves this time of year...so they can throw them away? Not yet.
~ Do you know of a specific wildlife habitat that humans go to so they can tear it up with things such as ATVs, oversized pickup trucks, etc....for their own amusement...destroying that land/water and therefore doing great harm to the animals and plant life? Not off the top of my head.

*** Good Fryday to you! The Fill-Ins today were inspired by my anger at some of the ignorance in the Gardening Forum thread about the toxic chemical known as 'Round Up'. ***

*** Good Fryday to you! The Fill-Ins today were inspired by my anger at some of the ignorance in the Gardening Forum thread about the toxic chemical known as 'Round Up'. ***
~ Any once living creature that is endangered, threatened or extinct because of humans: 30 years ago I would have said bison, but they seem to be doing much better now. I believe the whooping crane is still endangered and I suspect humans have something to do with that.
~ What is a living creature or plant that you don't see anymore but you used to see long, long ago? Tadpoles. I haven't seen a tadpole in the wild since I was a kid. I know they're out there; I'm just not in the right place at the right time to see them.
~ What, if any, difference is there between a growing flowering plant and a 'weed'? I depends on how you look at it. By definition, a weed is a plant that you don't want among your other plants. However, many plants classified as weed are quite beautiful. And actually, ever plant it beautiful in its own right. Still, I don't want thistles or poison ivy growing in the middle of my yard!
~ An animal that is hunted and killed by humans but you think it should not be: Elephants.
~ Do flat-topped, squared off hedges look beautiful to you or would you rather they look more natural? I like shrubs in a more natural shape. The flat-topped ones look dumb. I do trim a few shrubs which are at the side of my house so that they don't block my windows.

~ Do you know of a specific wildlife habitat that humans go to so they can tear it up with things such as ATVs, oversized pickup trucks, etc....for their own amusement...destroying that land/water and therefore doing great harm to the animals and plant life? Hmmm. I can't think of a particular place where this happens. I'm sure such places are out there; I just don't know of any specific ones.
~ What are some good things to do while visiting a forest or sanctuary or swamp, etc.? I love to walk in a forest and listen to the birds and other critters, to the crunch of leaves as animals scamper through them, to the sound of the wind in the trees and running water if there's a creek running through it. It's one of my favorite things in the world to do.
*** Good Fryday to you! The Fill-Ins today were inspired by my anger at some of the ignorance in the Gardening Forum thread about the toxic chemical known as 'Round Up'. *** Sorry to hear you're angry, roosty. Hope you have a good Fryday anyway. And happy Fryday to everybody!
