What "Radical Environmentalism" Will Get You

Digby:

Here's the latest on the EPA's reign of terror, or Britain's version of it anyway:



Once nearly extinct in England, otters have now returned to every county, indicating that rivers are at their healthiest in decades. Conservationists had predicted that it would be another 10 years before the otters reached this level of repopulation, so it's a real triumph for the little dudes. Not to mention an overwhelming stroke of good fortune for Brits, who can now watch otters pay from the comfort of their homes, the lucky bastards.

Otters have reappeared in places where they have not been seen since the industrial revolution, including Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester, and even on the Thames and the Lea in north London. A recent survey on the river Ribble, in Lancashire, showed a 44% increase in otter numbers since 2008.

Read on for the details of how those environmentalist bastards encroached on Englishmen's most basic human freedoms by making them stop hunting otters into extinction and insisting on cleaning up all the toxic industrial waste we humans are entitled to create. Oh, the humanity.

Liberals know that environmental protection is about protecting the world humans need and enjoy.
