Коли
до Америки ринули колоністи з Європи,
виявилося, що на новому континенті
золото зовсім не лежить під ногами.
Конкістадори, які відправляли до Європи
цілі флоти, навантажені дорогоцінностями,
просто вкрали те, що століттями невтомною
працею накопичували індійці.
Справжнім багатством країни виявилися ліси, плодючі землі, дичина, хутро.
Один з колоністів, який прибув до Південної Кароліни, писав: «Земля наповнена великою кількістю пантер, тигрів, вовків та інших хижаків, які сповнюють ніч моторошним та жахливим галасом». У кінці XVIII століття засновник колонії Пенсильванія У.Пені писав у доповіді до Лондона : «Із живих створінь – риб, птахів та лісових звірів: олені (завбільшки з невеликого бика), бобер, єнот, кролик, білка, чорний ведмідь, дикий індик, голуб, лебідь, гусак, качка, фазан, куріпка, бекас, кроншнеп, казарка, осетр, оселедець, тріска, лосось… . Інші тварини (хутрові): дикий кіт, пантера, видра, вовк, лисиця, норка, ондатра, біля берега кити».
Д
ві
сотні років відділяють нас від тих
часів, коли дзвінкий смолистий храм
природи Америки був ще незайманим
еталоном. Озброєні білі люди поводили
себе неначе тхорі, що забігли до
найбагатшого курника. «Здавалося,
Америка намагалась якнайшвидше позбутися
тварин», – пишуть зараз історики. Неважко
зрозуміти, як дивилися на цей розбій
індійці, все життя яких було пов’язане
з благополуччям світу тварин.
