Understand we were not killers of human beings. It isn’t to say that team members were all guilt-free of killing human beings but it was certainly not our purpose. We were there for everything else. In the case of a huge tragic wildfire there is not time and not the facilities to treat all that end up being burned. Anyone who has ever seen first-hand the results of a fast wildfire knows that it leaves many, many animals which are burned badly and that need to be put out of their suffering. That is what Kill Team does. Kill Team is not a federal agency. I don’t believe they are funded by the government in any way. I do believe they work in tandem with government agencies in at least a very loosely-termed, loosely contracted agreement of sorts. To put it shortly, Kill Team can be there and do their thing and be gone by the time the politicians come to an agreement on what to do. A lot of living creatures can suffer a lot of extra time while politicians argue about things so petty as money. next page | |
