This kind of stunt is an insult to intelligent people, but TX is full of ignorant, paranoid dumb losers.
Fair enough. Sure the dog understands the Myth of Sisyphus, but how many times did Wile E fall off that cliff or get crushed by a rock?
To both of their credit though, they keep on trying to escape their lot even though deep down they know that they never will, and I think that's a lesson for all of us - hope springs eternal, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary!
Actually, I think it comes down to an idea that has recently pervaded modern, urbanised society but was first perpetuated by the US Government and The Church back in the 1800s: Manifest Destiny. This is essentially the idea that human beings are all-powerful and deserving of ownership of and control over everything on the planet, rather than as a part of the planet's grand system and stewards of the earth for future generations. Manifest Destiny completely ignores the understanding that everything on the planet, including humans, is part of one massive, intricately interconnected system, and that if we abuse that system too much the fallout will be on us and everything else.
Because most of us urbanised westerners live in sterile environments unconnected to the natural resources which provide EVERYTHING we rely on and that makes our lives easy and luxurious, and out of view of the land and water we pollute through our excessive consumption, most of us still view the earth as people did 100 years ago: as an infinite sink for our pollution, and full of materials and energy resources that never deplete. This is, of course, complete and utter ignorance of the reality of a finite and utterly interconnected planet of 7 billion human beings, each of which is inexorably increasing their consumption and production of pollution.
In other words, the coyote, I own it so I can shoot it if I want to.
Personally, I would have considered killing that particular coytote a reasonable action if it was a threat. From the story, it appears that Perry easily feels threatened.
Yeah, Bill White better hope he doesn't meet Perry while he's walking his dog.
If it was me, I'd probably fire a warning shot before actually killing it.
Why do you hate America?
a real texan would of had his dog pin down the coyote while the texan reached in his back pocket for his bowie knife to slit the coyote's throat. after slitting its throat, he'd skin it right there and take the hide home where he'd sit on his front porch with an ice chest full of loan star while tanning his new rug.
