“Serving Nature and You” is the slogan of our new MDC. It sounds
warm and fuzzy, exactly the way it was intended. It also means
exactly the way it is written: Nature will be served, before you will
be served.
This theme is carried out throughout the future plans of the MDC,
always placing the people at the end of the sentence.
The problem is, nature cannot be served, and anyone who thinks it can
be served is an arrogant fool. Nature has no collective wants, needs
or opinions, and has never written it’s own service manual.
The value of nature must be decided on and assigned to it by people.
In this case, nature is said to be served by imposing the opinion of
the MDC, and then claiming this and nature’s opinion is one and the
same.
Since no thought process is involved, the idea that nature has a will
of it’s own is hard to understand, even if you believe it is true.
What the MDC is telling us, in it’s slogan and actions, is the
desires of people (i.e. the ignorant public) will always come second
to the so-called desires of nature (i.e. their opinion).
For those of us who live in the real world, it’s obvious what
conservation is based on. Lands are managed to meet goals, which
were conceived by a single person or group of people.
When land is managed for the benefit of sportsmen, it is naturally
enhanced for those who are not sportsmen. The majority of the people
are served. This was the way the MDC operated in the past and how it
became the best in the nation.
When land is managed for “nature’s sake” … absolutely nothing is
served, except a few ego’s at the MDC.
Just last month State Senator Dan Clemens made remarks on the Missouri Senate Floor expressing his concerns with the current leadership at the MDC. Please read his remarks and forward them on to others who may wish to read them. Click Here
Please download and pass on the Take Back The MDC report to elected officials concerning the current state of the Missouri Department of Conservation. Please call your state elected representatives and senators and tell them that you are concerned with the Leadership at the MDC. Tell them you want change!
