Alaska Wolf control? Bear control? what about.......

While driving to work this morning on the Seward highway into Anchorage I almost hit a damned chiropractor. A little further down the road another one ran out in front of me! Yet another just stood there in the middle of the intersection long enough to disrupt movement and orderly flow through a traffic light. What the hell is going on!? Later in the day I was driving around town on a variety of errands and noticed the absolute proliferation of chiropractic offices. It seems on every corner, in every strip mall, every office building, and most blocks between them is another chiropractic office? How damned many chiropractors does it take in this town?

Now, I have become just a bit concerned that the number of chiropractors is starting to stress the general population. Our auto insurance rates might start creeping up as the industry gets wind of the amount of them coexisting here amongst the rest of us. I would guess that they might far out number the moose, At least in the less rural areas of town. Can you imagine the damage one might do to your car were you to hit one!?

Before too long I suspect that we might see shortages in food stuffs in our grocery stores. This could end up putting the balance between the rest of us and them at teetering odds. I would hate to see their population grow to such a number that they can’t support or feed themselves for lack of clients. How can we get the balance back before it’s too late? Should there be an open season of sorts? Maybe “chiro baiting” might be an option, for a limited time during the regular hunting season.

I wonder if Fairbanks is having the same problem? I imagine they are starting to spread into the Mat-su as well. Wasilla probably has a growing number, as well as Palmer. I don’t even want to think of the outcome and general population stress if more than just a few finally stretched into areas like Chickaloon, Talkeetna, Clam Gulch, Tok, and other towns with moderately low populations.

There is still time. We can control the spread and overpopulation of chiropractors but it must be done humanely. I’m not sure that Arial hunts like we do with the wolves, or a free for all like is going on with the bears in Game unit 16 is the solution but you have to start somewhere. I’m not saying I’m for or against hunts like this but I think that other methods might still be a viable option for Chiro control. Maybe the Alaska game board is already working on a solution. I’m sure they must be aware of this growing concern by now.
