But in the 50s the choice to abandon their grass roots ways of life was clearly a quick turn on the heels. Secondly, to me these actions of this nature created PETA. Thoughtless needless destruction of animals due to a time table.!! Convicted Mass murder defendants are on death row for decades but these animals had no one to plead their case for a delay. I find it telling this bit of history is cited in an enthno-historical report -- this new science to awash the reader into the topic, allows for a blood thirsty take on a culture. Why were not the animals herded off island and ferried in the manner in which all the road equipment was brought on shore? Why were stockmen unwilling to dip there animals? There no doubt is more to this story. Lines drawn in the sand on the issue?? . if people resist government intervention in their lives today, no ferry tolls, the garbage collection issue, building code violations, etc.were residents sold a bill of goods that their life would improve with the road. Just what sold everyone on this Culture Change.?? Just the way to start my day PH, to read a troubling report of animal slaughter an east coast battle of Little and Big horns.
