Page 5 - Wyoming's Grizzly Harvest - The Story the State Wants to Bury with the Bears

Wyoming’s Grizzly Harvest “They are mining the ‘being’ part of human and converting that power of the ‘being’ part of human into a form of mutated power called energy, and they use that energy to run their authoritarian, material, technological systems. We’re the gasoline that runs it, just like the dinosaur runs the internal combustion engine. As part of that, we know the mining process leaves pollution, and the pollution that is left from them mining the ‘being’ part of human is every doubt, fear, and insecurity that we have. That’s the pollution that keeps us from seeing clearly. If we can’t see clearly, everything becomes a reaction to this haze. Our intelligence is our medicine. We were not put here defenseless to be eaten up by this mining process.” John Trudell (1946–2015) 5
