EPA being sued for failure to protect manatees from florida water pollution
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

apologies to the obsessed that this has a bit of politics, but for anyone that utilizes BLM land it’s worth a read

During the trial I bet there is a ruling whether they're referred to as manatee or sea cow.

Re: The Great Outdoors
per NatGeo:
The axolotl is quirky. Unique. Named after the Aztec god of fire and lightning. And critically endangered.
Now, Mexican artists and businesses are embracing the native salamander, placing its perpetually smiling likeness on walls, beer bottles, and even projected onto an outdoor stage (pictured above). It is featured on Mexico’s new 50-peso note and on Minecraft and Roblox video games.
The effort is intended to shore up environmental concern for the foot-long amphibian, Tina Deines reports. There’s not much time.
While popular in captivity as pets, the wild population in its shrinking natural habitat, a few canals near Mexico’s City’s Lake Xochimilco, has been estimated at between only 50 and 1,000. Photographer and Nat Geo Explorer Luis Antonio Rojas took the image above of a female axolotl swimming in a water tank at a National Autonomous University of Mexico lab.
The brewery featuring the animal includes information to vendors about axolotls and how to save them. Founder Matías Vera-Cruz Dutrenit, who admires the salamander’s ability to regrow limbs and its historic symbolism to Mexico, says he hopes his beer “can act as a good ambassador to the animal.” Read the full article here.

2nd ever successful wild-hatched nestling California Condor just fledged in Zion
pretty cool success story for a species that was on the brink of extinction, 27 individuals, in the late 1980s

Re: The Great Outdoors
entitled americans
it’s amazing how black and brown people in Africa, Asia and South America have learned to live alongside their apex predators by utilizing mitigation schemes to reduce these kinds of conflicts
the “but mah rights” crowd can hardly be bothered

Re: The Great Outdoors
I dont recall what show it was but it was on Discovery channel and there was a feature about how African farmers do kill lions if they are attacking their livestock.

In 2010, government ministers from the 13 countries that still had wild tiger populations committed to implementing measures to double the number of the big cats by 2022.
In Southeast Asia, it is highly unlikely that this goal will be met, with many countries in the region actually seeing their tiger populations go extinct or decline since the pledge was made.

Re: The Great Outdoors
i’m sure some do
just like i’m sure some ranchers don’t demonize wolves
that doesn’t seem to be the overall trend tho

I have no sympathy for the hillbilly cowboys and ranchers who occasionally lose a cow.

Re: The Great Outdoors
I dont think it is a racial issue more of a philosophy issue on how to deal with animals attacking your livelihood.
Now whether that livelihood is responsible is another issue...and has been debated on this bored.
