Let’s Respect Wild Animals

What sadness that we humans fail to see and understand the wild animals that roam this planet (“The Cougars’ Last Stand,” by Veronique de Turenne, Oct. 9). Once they are gone, we’ll face irreversible ecological impacts. We march into environments and take them over because we can, with no forethought for any ramifications. Shame on us that we fail to learn from our continuing mistakes against Mother Nature, and pity the wild animals that must suffer due to our greed and ignorance.
