But the preeminent problem is contrasting values that juxtapose those who believe in mankind’s superiority to animals with those that place animals and humans on a level of equal value, or in some cases, give higher value to an animal, bird or fish.

I distinctly recall a conversation I had with a woman at an IT conference in San Francisco. When she learned I was from Idaho the topic got around to wolves and I mentioned that we have several local packs and that I'd seen tracks on a recent hike, and that's why I carried a pistol. Her reply? Total hatred on her face and she hissed, "Then you shouldn't be living there." End of conversation.

Now, I got to thinking, "Hey, here's someone who loves wolves very much," but since then I've reconsidered. It isn't that they love wildlife at all, it's that they hate us. Not all humans, especially themselves. Us.

And this is exactly who I'm talking about:

The Green Gentry.
