KEEPING WILDLIFE HABITAT SAFE?

San Benito County farmers put up fences to keep animals out of their crops; they test water samples monthly from every well and pipeline on their many acres; they also keep thick binders of paperwork to show inspectors from distributors who buy their crops (click here)...

So why has the SCUSD ordered their maintenance crew to build a fence surrounding sensitive wildlife habitat, with a plan of eventually planting row crops within it for a new organic farm at the Peterson field? (see photos) - Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? - I said long ago the wildlife which was here first would eventually be demonized, so why don't they just use a portion of the Patrick Henry field for row crops, which supports no wildlife habitat? - There would still be enough space for 3 soccer fields at the Patrick Henry property, and another field over at Raynor Park - You know; what is the difference between Michael Vick's animal abuse, and the SCUSD's destruction of sensitive wildlife habitat? (click here X) And how has the Corn Palace managed all these years without any fences surrounding its' property? (click here) - MANY QUESTIONS; FEW ANSWERS...
