4. I don't want people to be out again. The wildlife makes

me happy. I love seeing critters out and about, being the awesome.

Let the people go free and they'll ruin it again.

5. Here are Nara Park deer with people:

6. That's nice. Looks like a happy time.

Still feel the same way though. Some people are good at coexisting. Some people aren't.

I still favor the critters.

12. I suppose it's nice, but my point is that that particular environment was created by people.

The well manicured, predator-free park filled with tame deer was created, and is maintained, by people and their respect for their "sacred" deer. (According to Wikipedia, the deer are no longer officially considered "sacred" ). That environment would not exist absent the actions of people.

As far as a preference for photos and videos of the critters with or without people, I tend to agree with you.

13. Yes, I got your point. I read it.

Hence, the some (people) can coexist with animals.

14. OK, then.

It occurred to me this morning that I could have been more clear with my first post.

15. Oh, golly. I know I could be. More clear, that is.

My mind rushes ahead of my fingers. Thoughts get jumbled in translation that way.

7. This!👆

11. I don't dislike the human animal. But I have been

incredibly happy for the other critters getting a small taste of freedom away from us.

I think maybe some miss us being around. Some don't.

I don't know.

8. I went to Nara while stationed in Japan.

Cherry blossom time, whether in Japan or DC, is one of the prettiest sights on the planet. Deserving of the word awesome.

9. Deer Have a special significance for Japanese Buddhists

Since the Buddha gave his first sermon in a deer park. A famous piece, often played as a duet, on the Zen-inspired Japanese end blown Shakuhachi flute is called "Shika no Tohne", or "The Distant Cry of the Deer".
