childhood is when you actually care for the environment and animals, then when you grow up, you get with the big picture and help the rest of the adults destroy the Earth and its inhabitants. If she wants to protect wildlife, I say let her. It's her choice and her decision. Maybe that is what is wrong with our society; that stiff unflinching belief that children should go to school to learn football, soccer, and gymnastics instead of something useful that they can use for good in the world. Maybe she has home schooling. She already knows more about animals at her age than I did at her age and I had a set of encyclopedias. I say more power to her and I hope she succeeds.
