I just don't get how we can have so many fucking dangerous exotic animals but we somehow draw the line at toucans. Hyacinths? You can have them gov. Aligator snappers? Knock yourself out. 400lbs giant tortoises? Have a go. Venomous snakes and poisonous toads? Have a couple. Questionably bred large dogs or half-lynxes? Have fun. Anacondas? Sky's the limit.

But a beutifull, adorable toucan? Nah fuck off.

barely related schizo tangent: I personally believe the current theories of pterosaur origin are complete bull, with scleromoclus being an awful model for flight in pterosaurs. To that end, it would also imply we're not really sure where they fit in avemetatarsalia. I personally would not be surprised if it turned out they actually WERE some early offshoot of dinosaurs. Hell, people have been considering Silesaurs as possibly being Dinosaurs recently, so shakeups of early archosaur relations are not unheard of. I look forward to it.

No, hunting a fuck ton of species to extinction is not unique to China you retard
>>
>>5092028
I think it’s more about scale, duration, and motivation. There are species on six continents that are endangered because Chinese people think random body parts from them cure small penises. That doesn’t even get into the calling everything a delicacy or the megaproject mass extinction shit. The latter two have some comparisons. The chinky dinky traditional medicine damage does not.

We can make the chinks do that by themselves by converting the panda into a capitalism symbol.

idgaf. I'm an animal, I chose what I do. Bird tries to steal my food? swatted, broke your wing? should not have gone for my food. See a critter in distress? Help it if I can. Ornery Goose? punted, fox chasing a bunny? scared off. Only ones who will care are people I despise, it's a win win. Nature goes not give a shit.

You shouldn't move them or carry them to the water because the weird traumatic Normandy Beach sequence they experience at birth is apparently a big part of how their brains remember the location of their ancestral breeding grounds. I guess trauma is a good way of making sure it imprints on them. You can carve little sand paths for them and stand to the side to keep seagulls and crabs scared away but you cannot touch them or stand in their path or over them.

I'm an avid waterfowl hunter. Where I live has a pretty long season for cormorants with big daily limits and no possession limits. Usually that means the government is having issues with an animal and needs people to help control the population. In all my years doing this I've met one guy ever who said he tragets them specifically and he said they're only good in curry.
One of the guys I hunt with shot one just to see what they're like and he said it tasted muddy, fishy and metalic.
