A Fisher? Really, Cleveland? Are You Serious?!
Honestly, a fisher? In Cleveland? Apparently, we’re now supposed to be thrilled about a weasel-like creature that probably smells like wet dog and dead leaves making an appearance after disappearing for roughly two centuries? Fantastic. Just what this city needed – another potential wildlife encounter to add to the list of things to worry about while walking down the street. Squirrels plotting world domination, aggressive geese, now fishers?
Dont even get me started on the “rare sighting” fanfare! As if we haven’t been bombarded with enough sensationalist headlines lately. A fisher wandered into a neighborhood. Groundbreaking stuff, people. It’s an animal. They roam. They exist outside of perfectly manicured parks and curated nature documentaries.
And Im just sure this news will solve all our problems. Traffic? Solved! Poverty? Vanquished! The Browns winning a Super Bowl? Absolutely guaranteed thanks to the presence of one solitary mustelid!
I’d love to see someone explain how this is anything more than a mildly interesting anecdote thats been inflated into an ecological triumph. Meanwhile, potholes continue to swallow cars whole and parking remains an Olympic sport. A fisher. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
