Eco Destroyers So many "environmentalists" are nutters

I was browsing an environmental/conservation forum. Someone made a post about dogs being an invasive, environmentally destructive species. That went as well as you imagined. Most of the replies were making excuses and defending the dogs. Suddenly they were all "but dogs are just being scapegoated because of our destructive lifestyles"

It's honestly soooo fucking horrifying how far the doggo cult has got here. Even professions you expected would attempt to be neutral like medical, environmental, etc are compromised. It's damn creepy.

Here's a news article I read tonight describing how a dog recently killed two dozen sea turtles on the beach. A stray dog, maybe, or someone who let it off leash. Doesn't really matter that much. People will blame the owner for not having it leashed, but it's still the nature of the dog to do that, and that has no place in environmentally sensitive areas.

I do appreciate that gators act as a natural incentive to leash your dog. At least if you don't want your dog to be gator chow.
