OK. Thank you all. I appreciate your answering my questions. And I think I now understand just why "Royal" is not an issue. It's good that it is not, but they will not suffer from the destruction of their animals in the way that family farmers will........I agree that the whole mess is just too, too tragic........what a mess for any government to have to deal with.

I still in a way, think it comes down to Mother Nature sending us back our own wages.....in a sense, like HIV/AIDS. Mother Nature WILL win, in her own way, in her own time.........the destruction of Homo Sapiens means nothing in the long run, no more than the destruction of the Dinosaurs did. "LIFE" is what matters, not a particular species......and ours could be construed to be the least of all the species, if all things were taken in consideration..

IS there another species that has done as much damage to this planet as the Homo species? I really rather dobut it.

OOops, forgot the Creep Alert message.......but, I figure, "Mother Nature" values all other species just as much as "She" does Homo Sapiens, so She is standing clear of the battle.

May the "best" species win..............as long as the Planet survives......
