Wildlife Spottings and Urban Sprawl

A few weeks ago a deer ran into our car while trying to escape the giant, evil-looking land-moving machines that were plowing their away across her habitat so that another endless tract of suburbs could be built. Yes, the land the deer lived on is being parceled, and streets with insipid names like Sunnyview Court and Meadow Park Lane are being built. Yesterday morning Martina and I saw a wild turkey by the side of the road not far from where the deer ran into the side of our car, and it is clear that all of the animals in the area are moving toward a final stand of trees, which will most likely be turned into houses once the fracking of the area is complete and the land's natural resources have been removed. Then, when the animals have nowhere to go, the residents will start complaining of the nuisance animals such as coyotes and raccoons that will be roaming the neighborhood trying to survive, when in reality the real nuisance happens to be the residents themselves and the short-sighted builders who stack people one on top of the other knowing that the roads will be hopelessly congested, that the wildlife will be eradicated, and that they are creating yet another food desert. If you hate urban sprawl as much as I do, please contact your local council of government and let them know.
