ONLY from an eliminationist pov. From the pov of anyone who favors decent AW
over elimination that particular result is a very significant aspect of human
influence on animals, even when it's more because of the consideration of the
farmer than actual AW laws and regulations.

LOL!!! It's just another aspect of human influence on animals that you
happen to hate because and ONLY because it works against the elimination
obsession. Duh!

There have been none. Feral doesn't count for shit. Ward Clark and Rick
Etter said they didn't agree with me, and that's as far as they ever would go
with it so they never tried to get me off anything. They don't care about AW,
only about opposing the misnomer. In contrast to that ALL the people who had an
interest in AW agreed with me including Marl and Poly from an antielimination
group, and Katy who was an actual agriculture student at the time, and a few
other AW minded people I forget the names of, and of course Didderot and he
alone would have been enough for me. ALL! the real AW people agreed with me,
which btw is ANOTHER WAY I can tell you're not in favor of AW over the misnomer.
All the people who actually are, and who are the people I respect, have agreed.

Not for eliminationists of course but for people who favor AW it certain is.

>it's just a bad idea.

LOL!!! Certainly not for anyone who honestly favors decent AW over
elimination.
