Letter to editor: Save the wildlife

Frankly, I was quite disgusted by the activities and views presented in the article “Fishing for school pride” (Glen Arbor Sun, June 16). For starters, wildlife does not consist of “amazing resources to take advantage of.” What a near-sighted, disrespectful and wasteful view of the abundant life forms in beautiful Leelanau. What would our county’s woods, meadows and waters be without the deer, foxes, coyotes, eagles, fish, ducks, geese, and so on? These beings are fascinating in that they all have their very own “life agendas” to carry out … not easy to do when humans harass them for sport.

An attitude of “live and let live” will better serve the interests of all who visit and reside in Leelanau.

Thanks for your time and attention.
