880,000 People In Europe Are Slave Laborers

Went for a brisk stroll in a county park in Kent County, Delaware. Noted that the parking lot was carpeted with nearly equal parts squashed Woolly Bear caterpillars and live Woolly Bears attempting to cross the treacherous asphault terrain separating one grass patch from another. Observed with interest that children pointed-out to their parents the mass migration in our midst, and then observed SUVs containing said children proceeding to plaster a good 10-20 wriggling furballs under rubber tread as vehicles exited the parkland. Isn’t mother nature fascinating? Living beings responding to non-negotiable instinctual migratory patterns. Other living beings beating a path to the local waffle house for breakfast, caterpillar guts smeared and caked into the tire treads as a consequence of the need to fill bellies with cake batter and syrup. But we all agree to feign guilt and sadness when the BBC casts its mircoscopic lens on the anatomy of the agony. I wonder if the BBC documentary costs could have saved a good 100 wooly bears, at least.
