Feedback/criticisms from observers 8/05

Yesterday and today I met people while I was tagging who both asked me if I was getting any critiicism/complaints about tagging. Once I thought a coincidence, twice I consider strange. I think their angle was that I was somehow hurting the butterflies, but both were nature lovers who had heard of Monarch Watch and tagging in general. I showed them how I did it, and explained that if we were damaging them, they wouldn't make it to Mexico. I wish I had a pamphlet to hand them about Monarch Watch, perhaps 2-3 could be included in each tagging kit to hand out to people along the way. Wondering what sort of reaction others have had?
