Great essay! For most of us, it's not guns but cars that are indifferent killing machines. This is enabled by road systems that cut across wildlife habitats, and which are horribly efficient at producing roadkill. I was reminded of this in a new Bill McKibben essay in the latest NYRB: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2023/10/05/toward-a-land-of-buses-and-bikes-crossings-ben-goldfarb/

Highly recommend inaturalist for anyone who wants to view smaller life in a more wonderful way -- looking at your local area on there reveals a verifiable plethora of new creatures to treasure. Gorg piece btw
