First let me start by saying, this isn't an argument for or against the wall. This is aimed at being a mere discussion on what impact the wall would have on wildlife along the border or if we should even care.
I voted for Trump and believe everything he stands for as far as our country goes. I have been following Ben Masters from Fin and Fur films about documentaries on numerous species of wildlife in the state of Texas. He has a new short film coming out this year titled, "The River and the Wall." I was all for a wall, and still think I am in some form, but after reading more into this idea that the wall would have a negative impact on all wildlife involved has me intrigued. Should we even care? Should we just put the stop of illegal immigrantion first and let the wildlife adapt accordingly? I don't have the answers, but I really wanted to get opinions from a group of hunters that share the same passion for pursuing and killing Animals in Deep South Texas, as well as Mexico. I realize the ranches have their own water systems, but anyone who says the river isn't the lifeline for most wildlife down there are kidding themselves.
So being that we have hunters that hunt both sides of the proposed border wall, what are yalls opinions? Should we care about if it affects wildlife? Will it not be enough to even worry about? Or will we completely alter the livelihood of many species along the river. I don't know, but I think it would be cool to get different opinions on the subject. I have hunted in Del Rio, but not close enough to consider it, "on the border." I encourage y'all to look into Ben Masters work, he's a pretty sharp guy when it comes to wildlife.
