Environmenatlism and the Law: Wayward Environmentalists Attacking Golf Courses Do No Service to the Environment and Damage Respect for Serious Environmental Change

Few of man's achievements honor nature as much as golf courses do, and it is always remarkable to see wayward environmentalists trying to replace golf courses with what is called "managed wilderness", i.e. pet projects of alleged nature do-gooders which serve virtually no useful purpose other than to inflate the self-serving moralistic egos of those same wayward environmentalists.

Many public lands in fact are now being made unsafe for humans by stupidly inflating e.g the populations of wolves, mountain lions and grizzly bears, all under the cloak of environmentalism.

People who want to repopulate the earth with dangerous beasts should be forced to buy the necessary land for that and should be made to live on that property and make a living on it and see to it that their children survive there. And those same people should be made to compensate for any losses incurred by other humans (e.g. ranchers losing useful animals to senseless repopulation of predators).

Moreover, those same people should be attacking environmentally the big multi-national corporations who are devastating the planet by things like fracking. But that might be a bit tough for these armchair environmentalists to handle.

It is much easier to go after golfers and golf courses, who are bothering no one, and causing no harm to nature. Quite the contrary, many a golf course has "reclaimed" land otherwise not particularly well used. Indeed, few of man's landscaping efforts rival golf for showcasing the beauty of nature.
