- verisimi 3y agoI think I have commented critically on this issue. I hate emotionally manipulative stories like this - it seems plain that they are nothing but propaganda. We are meant to read this and feel that even this small number of cattle are causing irreparable damage to some area - but the place looks fine to me. And then I found out at the end of the article that indeed there is an agenda in play. If someone is trying to sell me on this or that idea, and are using emotional manipulation to do it, is it not fair to call this out? Even if it is well meaning and for what the "journalist" perceives to be the 'greater good'?
