I most heartedly welcome any sort of comment to my writings or photographs. I consider all to be constructive inputs – none are destructive comments or criticisms. A crit is a crit. I always take the opportunity to open debate – it is healthy.
Even if what you say is the truth, which it is not, it makes no difference to a nesting whistling thrush. The only thing that matters to this bird is having a forest in which to nest. This forest might not be there were it left to the critics and faint-hearted long on wind and short on commitment.
I have your support and we know it. But more than the colour of our agenda, its success depends on the character of its membership, who should be opinionated, stubborn, tough, thick skinned, stiff-nosed, mud-smeared, rain soaked, fatigue-clad, masochists committed to wildlife and environment protection.
This is the solid base on which AnWel-Animal Welfare is founded. However, there should never be any doubts that wildlife enthusiasts are a little crazy. How else can we possibly explain them? But what fine madness it is! And what an insipid, spiritless world this would be without such craziness, and minus the flights of birds, foraging wildfowl and prowling wild creatures that it has so graciously bestowed upon us.
