Paving The Animals Away.
1998 • Tampa, FL, USA
I remember when I first visited Florida visiting my grandparents, there were so many trees every where and they were one of the first in the community so there was nothing but green everywhere. But now the area is being paved everywhere and animals are being pushed out of their homes. I used to see foxes and deer running by at night all the time, now you just see a couple of deer every now and then.
