Eat and Be Eaten?

Your recent splendid article entitled “Your Hometown & the United Nations’ Agenda 21” (February 21 issue) on the United Nations’ “Earth Summit” in Rio de Janeiro, 1992, and on the damage that a byproduct of that get-together called Agenda 21 has wrought in the United States, forgot to mention one decisive argument. This was brought to my attention by the publication Wheat Life, of the Washington Association of Wheat Growers. Joan Veon of Maryland was at Rio and said the “dominion mandate” — man’s stewardship over the Earth — was rejected as speciesism. All species were declared equal, especially endangered species. Wolves, elephants, coyotes, skunks, bears, turtles, and owls have as many rights as humans.
