The rich tapestry of Letters to the Editor

I had given up reading them, but I slipped up today. It won't happen again.

This is the final paragraph of a letter complaining about 'no pet' conditions on new housing subdivisions in ecologically sensitive areas. The gist of the letter is that these conditions are discriminatory, will do nothing to improve the environment but will create areas of 'wildlife fanatics'.
The fact that so-called "wildlife" is almost continually trespassing on people's property throughout Australia has not been taken into account, other than to blame everything and everyone else.

It's not a parody.
