No, but some of these replies have. I was just pointing out another side to it.
Yes, but forbidding it means abandoning some kids with different needs & social challenges to bullying & isolation - kids with the bad luck of living in districts without resources or will to help them. I know it's problematic, but I was glad I had the option when my son went through a tough time.
AAAAAAHHHHHH
Needed and important work. I wish you all the best there.
Thank you! I'm going to miss seeing you at PSC VIC this year. I hope you are enjoying retirement!
It is a privilege to get to work with the glove trained birds. Their keepers are both raptor rehabbers in our group and the educational birds are all permanently disabled former patients. I'm working on getting my bird license and it's good handling practice. The public doesn't get to, though.
I got a break from the madness yesterday when our regional wildlife rehabilitator member organization did public outreach at a mall. I held friends' educational birds while I talked to human people and my face hurts today from smiling.

Snow days call for playing! ❄️
When seeking to play, wolves will dance and bow playfully. Playtime can also include a game of chase, jaw sparring, and varied vocalizations.
For wolves, playtime isn’t only fun, it strengthens family bonds and reaffirms social status within the pack.
Which British animals eat mice and rats? Stoats, weasels, birds of prey, badgers, foxes, pine marten, polecat, wildcats and lynx. All either actively shot and trapped, verging on extinction or extinct because of human activity. We have nature the wrong way around.

Low light so the release pictures sucked but I got to release the barred owl I helped rehab the other day, a highlight in an otherwise challenging week.

Can anyone look at this graphic and say that we do not urgently need rewilding on a massive scale?
Did you know wolves are absolutely essential for a healthy ecosystem?
When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone the entire system reacted. Small animals became more abundant. Birds began breading more. Rivers changed, small carnivore populations increased.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941
The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.
Please stop pointing out the obvious. Dems need to find new paths forward and actually lead.
South Dakota's Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe received $19.9 million from the EPA for repairing a bridge, replacing asphalt roofs, and climate resilience.
Thanks to Trump's illegal program cuts, however, the tribe is no longer able to access the funds.
The wealthy win while the rest of us lose.
One of Trump's executive orders seeks to undermine the Endangered Species Act. This move empowers a committee of his own appointees to decide the fate of an endangered species, prioritizing the desires of special interests over wildlife and biodiversity.
I love Superb Owl Sunday.
AAAAAHHHHHH
It never does.
Some humans really suck
I hereby create a community of people who love, respect, and admire boglands. They are mysterious, beautiful, and powerful to ecology, archaeology and climate. Yet these systems continue to be misunderstood and threatened. Who wants to join my bog fan club? Please share - bogs need friends right now
Scenes from out back because my professor said feeling oneness with the more-than-humans helps us feel as one with other humans, too. Not gonna lie, really struggling with that at the moment.

Boglands once were considered portals to the gods and other universes. Liminal spaces between familiar and unfamiliar, water and land - they are eerie, beautiful, pagan. They harbor weird biodiversity and regulate climate. No wonder they are rejected by white, colonial patriarchy. Respect the bogs.
