You know what. There ARE less animals around than there used to be. Like. Less than five years ago there were dozens of herons in the rivers by the train tracks. There were wild hogs and deer in the nearby forest. When you were out late in summer you could see hares and owls. I have several fond memories of staying out at night in my late teens and seeing swarms of fireflies. There were frogs, salamanders, occasional lizards if you were lucky. There were so many fucking foxes. And like... I've gone on several evening/night walks in the woods this summer and I haven't seen a single firefly, or heard the call of an owl. There's no hares, no foxes. I haven't seen a fieldfare or a nightingale in years. Biodiversity is dying out completely.
