Animal welfare activists in Colombia have long opposed proposals to kill the hippos, arguing they deserve to live, and adding that addressing the problem through violence sets a poor example for a country that has gone through decades of internal conflict.

First off, I love all animals. They were here long before humans showed up and have a right to life.

The problems begin when human-introduced animals start taking over from native species. The most well-known issue was on the Galapogos islands where invasive rats and cats (accidentally brought over on ships in the 1800’s) were killing many of the native species.

In 2021 two islands were finally cleared of rats who were killed using drones and poison pellets (https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/drones-help-eradicate-invasive-rats-on-galapagos-islands/). There is current work ongoing to deal with the cats and other species of invasive plants and animals.

None of this mess is the hippos fault, but because one rich selfish man decided he wanted to own hippos the whole lot of them must die. And that sucks.

Wasism is a natwernal ting.

Sorry about that. Fat fingers at work.

Y’all the reason racism survives into the 21st century.

Hopefully Tisza gets majority if for no other reason than to fix Orban’s fucked up electoral math.

In the same breath expressing his disappointment in NATO allies, Trump told Fox that “now they want to come and now they want to help with the Strait [of Hormuz].”

The fuck we do. Nobody wants to join tRump’s war, that he started because kidnapping Maduro worked so well – mostly because it took months to plan.

What a fucking dipshit he is.

ACAB truly is universal.

My bad. Should’ve read the article instead of going on the title alone.

Arrogance breeds complacency.

Edit - Orban is a friend of Russia so likely believed his nation was safe from hackers.

I’m with the other millions of Canucks who will never, EVER step foot in the US again.

Hahahahahaha!!!

Sunday can’t come soon enough.

Ukraine intercepted Shahed drones. They DID NOT bomb Iran.

Get your facts straight buddy.

From the article …

The decision to ban Ye left the Wireless organisers with three headline slots to fill at just three months’ notice. The ban came on the day presales began for this summer’s events, which were already competing in a busy field of London day festivals.

From the article …

“As with every Wireless festival, multiple stakeholders were consulted in advance of booking Ye and no concerns were highlighted at the time."

Hypocrisy extraordinaire.

Same with Ukraine.

So ICE has 5 offices in Canada. How many RCMP offices are in the US? And yes, I looked, but there is exactly zero info out there on this.

I’m embarrassed to say it took me far too long to realize this. I should’ve known better than to believe the rhetoric that Western nations constantly harped on.
