Another attempt to explain "the hostility to wolves by segments of agribusiness & the general public... given that wolf predation is not responsible for a large number of cattle & sheep losses, with only a very modest economic effect on the livestock industry."
In US but valid for UK: see next post!

Final frames of Killing Joke

This century has been a good one for the greedy, the ignorant , the cowardly , the narcissistic , the cruel and the awful - Trump getting FIFAs inaugural peace prize has had me laughing like Batman and The Joker at the end of Killing Joke

In the almost perma-darkness of a highland winter it’s good to remember back to the summer, and those special otherworldly moments that you only get at night in midsummer! #highlandbirds πŸͺΆ

There is much to say on this, but the very first point that must be made as a matter of urgency to the NEC is that excluding trans women is not a "compromise position", it is a segregation position, a biased position, a transphobic position and a morally repugnant position.

The New US National Security Strategy Trump Says Openly That the US Wants to Dominate Europe and Make it MAGA

The Trump administration released its latest National Security Strategy--and one thing that can be said is that there is no more pretending. It’s a plan to weaken European unity, to make Europe MAGA, to force Europe to take economic dictation by the USA…. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The uncontrolled destruction of marine life is the reason I've stopped eating fish - initially farmed fish, now all fish. Anyone who cares about the marine environment needs to do the same.

This is a cataclysmic collapse of a marine food web, caused in large part by commercial fishing. This needs to stop, and sardine populations around South Africa need a chance to recover.

We are going to irreversibly degrade the biosphere for the sake of people asking 'Grok' to explain simple memes and/or generating pictures of cats that look like Hitler.

The Office for Environmental Protection says stronger, statutory targets are needed for protected sites. We agree.

Yet the Government’s revised β€œEnvironmental Improvement Plan”, published earlier this week, did the opposite: weakening targets & slowing the action nature needs.

If anybody has any insight about why the UK supported the proposal to downlist the Peregrine, I’d love to hear it.

I think it is important to know WI and Girl Guides have not voluntarily moved into excluding trans girls and women they have been pushed into by bigot zealots and the law being an ass

So what do our wonderful farmers do - they organise 'tractor runs' all over the country, wasting their hard-earned money and pumping tons of fossil CO2 into the atmosphere.

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

If @nationaltrust halved its financial reserve, bought 150+ strategic UK sites for climate and wildlife, and opened up new public access via members, would its membership actually rise?

Why not try it?

NT greatest source of income is direct from members and property.

Lowest from investments.

STOLEN CAMERA SITE CLEAR FELLED Hi All So, this is all now very real and deeply disturbing. As you know, Vattenfall stole one of our cameras from a known wildcat site. We replaced the camera and returned to check the area yesterday....

Why has this area been felled? The Clashindarroch was called a β€˜wildcat wonderland’ by the govt, it is not disputed that there is a nationally important population of wildcats there....
