It isn’t just historically inaccurate to create a public display claiming that World War II was a religious crusade. It’s also unconstitutional.

It’s especially important to conserve wild cats and dogs, because they’re predators. As such, they help to preserve balance within ecological systems. When predators go extinct, their prey species go through wild boom and bust cycles that endanger large number of animal and plant circles.
