“A short distance away, the jaguar was still eating the mother. Bones still crunching.
“But itis normal,” Ramon Valdez said. “It is the way things are.”
Sanger did not want to talk about it anymore. Clearly, Valdez was an apologist for the industrialists and polluters, the big American companies that dominated Costa Rica and other Latin American countries. Not surprising to find such a person here, since the CIA had controlled Costa Rica for decades. This wasn’t a country; it was a subsidiary of... American business interests. And American businesses did not give a damn for the environment.
Ramon Valdez said, “The jaguars must eat, too. I think better a turtle than to take a human baby.”
