Part of the charm of the campus for me as been the wildlife on campus whether watching the squirrels play on the Admin lawn, watching birds all over campus, being greeted by friendly “vermin” campus cats, spotting the occasional rabbit or skunk or beaver in the more remote parts of campus, or admiring the cows and horses and sheep over the years.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#44546A'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#44546A'>Since the horrifying details of the UI’s move to kill everything that offends it have come out, my peaceful refuge has been destroyed.
