First a nut was able to “collect exotic animals” (that puts severe pressure on conservation effort around the world, animals have a context and habitat) in a country that claims to be blessed by the none other than god, where respect for wildlife is non-existent. Then the nut let the animals free. The authorities then slaughter these hapless animals -49 animals, including 18 rare Bengal tigers. What kind of people are these? Are they humans? What kind of country is this?So what is the learning for the Americans….well nothing much just that they will have more reasons to stock firearms and guns. All alien invasions, exotic pets gone wild –spiders, crocodiles, snakes…gods knows what, that is churned out from Hollywood apart from asserting “Americans as ultimate protectors of the world” is a victory of gun culture. Of course there are now ‘incredible animal videos’ to be made that Murdoch &Co will have to churn to the world, intervened by what car to buy and not to buy (here people are struggling to cope with inflation of food items while high end of crony capitalism is struggling to decide on which car, ads definitely seem to understand these cronies....well if you can decide by watching such nonsense surely one must be dumb. Wonder why so much money is spend on these nonsense while workers protest for better pay. Capitalism seem to favoring these dimwits. Crony Capitalism has more to do with mediators and manipulators...where some Indians truly shine). It’s a celebration of freedom of expression.
The kind of havoc Americans have played on the environment in many decades is nothing short of catastrophic (it’s the same model that is sought to be replicated across the world by the elites of the society as part of globalization). They have severely depleted the natural resources by their irresponsible lifestyle. American dream is world’s nightmare. And thank god they are in recession. Indeed the ‘development model’ is such that recession anywhere in the world is good for Nature.
God may save America but must definitely save us from Americans.
