As a conservation biologist, I find the subject
matter and tone of the marmot-cooking essay reprehensible and
unethical (HCN, 12/24/07).
HCN is a nonprofit media organization whose
mission is to inform and inspire people to act on behalf of the
West's lands. One of the key themes underlying land-management
issues in the West is our need to have reverence for life - and
that means not just charismatic megafauna like the wolf, but also
marmots. When I got to the description of how marmots inflate as
they cook, and may even explode in your lap, I had to stop reading
for a while.
In working with wildlife as a researcher, I have been taught to treat all creatures with the highest respect. Articles such as the marmot essay undo the efforts of so many to create a more sustainable world, where humans and wild animals can coexist in relative harmony.
