I think there’s a component of wishful thinking among the #vaccinated that makes them see acting “normally” as a way to lull the #unvaccinated into risky behavior, thereby continuing the lopsided #cull of #antivaxxers. I saw recently somewhere that #covid continues to do #Darwin’s work, albeit not with surgical precision, of eliminating right-wingers from the herd at a rate of about three to one.

The entire government-mandates #wolf #cull program in #British #Columbia (and elsewhere) is thoroughly inhumane.

Been importing old SLR photos into Google photos for easy viewing.

I seem to have been in the habit of taking at least half a dozen shots of any subject no matter how boring or mundane.

Can I be bothered doing a cull? Definitely a job for later - if at all.

#Victoria approves #cull of 50,000 more #kangaroos than last year despite unknown flood impact

Disgraceful - the Australians are slaughtering their own national symbol. When will humans learn to live with wildlife and why is killing innocent animals always the solution for human / wildlife conflicts?

@seasiders2 also, to #cull is to #scientifically manage the size of a #species population. What happens in Australia is not a cull, it's a slaughter.

The Victorian slaughter is for profit, as is the Queensland slaughter. There is no cull going on. Don't use that word. The word to use always is SLAUGHTER.

Thousands more #badgers face #cull as number of killing zones surges | #Environment | The Guardian

This is the farming lobby (Big Farma?) blaming wildlife for spreading #tuberculosis amongst #cattle and the government acquiescing in the slaughter.

@gideonro An injured chicken from our flock. A fox or something got into the coop a couple days ago and killed 5. Had hopes two could recover, but this morning one was clearly not going to. Almost no beak left. #cull
