There are so many parts of life that the average person overlooks. No matter if you are a bustling, city dweller or a perfect, suburban housewife or a homely, country farmer there are things within your everyday life you are overlooking.
I grew up on a farm where crops and livestock are our livelihood and without them we would be lost. We do everything necessary to insure that they are cared for and nothing will get in the way of making a profit. Animals are given immunizations so that they will not catch disease. Their grains and forage is locked away in sheds that rodents and other pests will not be able to lay their excrement on. Water supply tanks are cleaned regularly to stop the build up of fly larvae and algae. The horses are sprayed down so that flies, bots, and ticks will not bother them. The crops in the field are hosed with chemicals to prevent pests from devouring them and using their leaves as homes from their young. Irrigation provides a constant source of water guaranteeing drought will not affect the harvest's outcome. Everything is planned and monitored so that nothing will int interrupt they way we believe life should be.
But in the means of insuring our way of life, who is it affecting. We see bugs and other pests and evil creatures that are harming our lives, but what is behind their pest behavior? The answer is survival. They are just like us, trying to survive, to make things better for their young and make certain that they will live a full life; just like us. Is that really so wrong? Plants are food for bugs just as much as they are for us. They also serve as a home. We cannot live without a home so how can we expect these critters to? We are all fighting for the same basic necessities but why do we prevent others from them?
