The Earth doesn’t need us at all, it certainly doesn’t need us to awaken. It needs us to pay attention, to get involved, and to become ecologically literate.
Its the tougher one for sure. By that I mean anything from euthinasia for pets, killing pests, self defense or defense of pets/livestock and even hunting which can help balance a population of area to the lands resources plus feed others.
Determining pests and which animals are overpopulated takes serious consideration as well and even after determining that extermination is basically never an option for me, even for most “invasive species”. Bradford pairs are my exception lol, but even if I could snap and wipe them out of the area tommorow I wouldn’t. The rest of the creatures need time to adjust to things too.
I was mostly nodding along to your post until the “kill with gratitude and understanding”: what? how does one do that? Who do you apply that to?
