When I was like 6 my mom's friend told me that if I kissed a front it'll turn into a prince
So my desperate ass tried kissing every frog I caught
I think people who live in aread with actual wildlife around are lucky...
Like. I live in a FREAKIN' harsh mountain desert. Like, the Wasatch moutains on the East side of Salt Lake valley are the OFFICIAL end to the Great Basin Desert. So like I guess we're not a desert because those mountains are high and large enough to force water to condense and make it rain in the valley every so often but still...
I've like seen some deer maybe not to far out from my house once in the 10 years I've been here. And there was that one time a Cougar roamed into a neighborhood nearby (ok nvm we do have a bit of wildlife...)
But still... like... It's all going to be gone because they built the outline roads for a new freeway belt route not too far from my house and that area is on the West side of the valley where there isn't any housing but apperently before it started developing there was a lot of Rocky Mountain wildlife. So like Deer, Elk, Cougars, Wolves, Foxes, Rabbits, Squirrels, mice, etc. And it was just a grassy plane with no trees. But now it's all being developed and slated to ALL be housing so it won't be around for much longer I'm afraid.
My dad wants them to make those outline roads into an offical highway but when I explained to him (and I learned this in my ap geography class that it'd be a bad thing and would destroy what little nature is left in this valley) that it'd cause more urban sprawl and be very bad for the environment and he was like: "What environment there's nothing out there and who cares about living in denser housing? People like their huge houses because it's private and nice."

WOW THIS IS A RANT I'm so sorry...
I guess I can admit I don't think my posts through ever xD I just type and whatever comes out comes out.
