Deceptions

Here is a little story with a boy shocked about changes found in another part of the world.
I've studied geography and zoology during primary school,than more in the high school were I have learned about animal habitats. Kangaroo lives in Australia , Penguins lives in Antarctica, Bears, Deers , Rabbits, Foxes and Wolves lives in deep forest all over the world. There are some species that lives close to water like rats crocodiles and so on.
I came in USA were I found Deer’s walking the same roads I walk, squirrels jumping in front of my window , rabbits running along the shore line and skunks looking for food in the garbage cans.
I do understand that some parts of the world are different than others but this is to much for me to accept it . I wonder isn’t this because of supra population of this area ? Isn’t this because all this species has nowhere to go anymore?
It is sad to see so many beautiful species going for what we used to call “wild” to something that really appear to be “domesticated” . Hopefully we are aware of this and we will try to do something in the near future to protect what we really have priceless.

Bogui,
You right I got the same impression the first time i got here. However, i was really excited have those animals around me i was 7 years old. In any case, that happen in another countries too. If you're going to another country probably you will find another animal that lost its habit. It's not the government it's people that have to become concern about this problem.

This situation concerns me too. Every time I see a dead innocent animal on the road, I become sad, and the I run ideas in my head abut how can we protect them... I will post it in my blog soon.
Peace
