Ha! Well Philip I like your optimistic, think the best of people approach, but
these were not uni students on a zoology prac. Nor were they school children
rewinding the habitat to enhance the ecological diversity, or philanthropist
developers surveying the site for a new Eco tourism lodge....if you want to
think that way. They were people with no environmental conscience stealing
fishing bait from a protected area. I suspect even you would have reached the
same conclusion had you been there.
