What? Is this a thing?

Florida DWF was euthanizing a guys banned pythons and euthanized a snake that wasn’t banned for good measure. The fucked thing is that they were using a nail gun.
>>
>>4841903
also worth mentioning that he acquired the pythons back when they were legal, and as the new law went into effect he wasn't given any time to find takers for the many snakes he possessed in other states. they just straight up barged in and started killing
>>
>>4841905
Nah, he had like 6 months to apply for an exception or move or sell the snakes. He just Boomered the exception application (applied for an exception he didn’t qualify for) and couldn’t unfuck himself in time (he didn’t take any preventative measures for the fact that his snakes were going to be illegal if he didn’t manage to get an exception on subsequent appeals).

This is pretty typical of any government agency "tasked with helping" the environment or animals. Literally all these queers do is destroy Nature and kill animals and plants.

BOOOY Florida Fish and Wildlife spent half a century trying to convince everyone that Flamingos and Water Lettuce weren't native to Florida. You have no idea the amount of damage these fucking bureaucrats do. Know why sea turtle numbers aren't really recovering? Fish and Wildlife won't allow it. Simple as. Sea turtles are easy as shit to raise in large numbers and because their sex is temperature controlled, you could literally decide to hatch out mostly females in enormous numbers and release them after a year's worth of grow out. This is OBSCENE to bureaucrats because instinctively the KNOW they exist to keep Nature half dead - just life enough to profit from, but not so strong as to threaten jewish power.

You get what you deserve with Republicans that love talking about how much they love rural living but bend over backwards when developers wants to destroy sensitive habitats to put up another strip mall of Wal-Marts and Taco Bells.

You misunderstood them

They like wheat fields, pasture, cows, horses, and deer season. Anything that stands in the way of these is le bad. They will tell you deer season and hobby ranches are the only thing that will save our civilization from ruin if you question it.

No, they don't

They still deny that wolves are a keystone species, aimlessly shoot coyotes, and let cats outside. The delusion that wild deer are a fallback food for when SHTF is also disturbingly prevalent (was the part where people trying that almost made them extinct omitted from the history books in cousinfuckintown?)
>>

No they dont, an infact right wing counties are the reason they aren't extinc.
>aimlessly shoot coyotes
Because they are a pest species that kills chickens, goats, baby cows, etc.
>lets cats outside
Barn cats keep out rats and mice
>deer aren't a source of food
There's laterally too many deer due to the lack of hunting thats been done. Here in Michigan they literally extended gun season and even allow any tags to be used for doe since theres so many. You don't know what youre talking about you suburbanite pos

>>4842112
Wolves AREN'T a keystone species. Sea Otters are a keystone species. Northern Red Oaks are a keystone species. "Keystone species" doesn't mean "faggot animal I worship". MOST carnivores are nothing approaching keystone species. MOST megaherbivores ARE because they propagate plant life and plants literally vanish from the landscape without them. Carnivores are far more like parasites than they are like herbivores in their utility to the biosphere. Submental "males" simply don't like this truth because "Eating meat is masculine, right? Mark Sisson told me so!"

Yeah they do, rightoids bitched and moaned the whole time about MUH HUNTIN GUIDE BUSINESS MUH RANCH and rightoids are still demanding the numbers be suppressed. Idaho recently did a cull so deer season could still occur.
>Because they are a pest species that kills chickens, goats, baby cows, etc.
Oh no, not your poorly contained pets.
>Barn cats keep out rats and mice
They provably do not and have never. They are however responsible for all the toxoplasmosis in the US food supply and it's 700+ yearly deaths. Cats are pets, not working animals. This is an objective, undebtable fact.
>There's laterally too many deer due to the lack of hunting thats been done
And when the deer numbers decline, wolf cull!

>>4842118
Rightoid seethe right on cue. If it didn't bother their ranching hobby they wouldn't give a shit.

Reminder: ranchers contribute jack shit to the US food supply and mostly just ruin the landscape. They are welfare queens bordering on pests. A good government would gun down their herds just like a good government would do aerial agent orangeings of pot farms.

I already knew before I hovered over it it would be that stupid fucking "Wolves changed the rivers" video. Ever here what happened AFTER, fucknut? The Elk population plummeted, the wolves got mange and started attacking pets, livestock and generally making a nuisance of themselves.

From overpopulation to normal levels. Oh no, the huntin tags!

That's what happens with wild animals.

Hobby farms of little consequence, basically all food is in feedlots nowhere near wolves
>making a nuisance of themselves
Sorry your "lifestyle" was fucking retarded and required partial or full ecological destruction to be viable but actual right wingers already replaced it with good old fashioned capitalism. You were just larping and actually had more in common with commies than anyone else

>>
>>4842128
>Rightoid seethe right on cue. If it didn't bother their ranching hobby they wouldn't give a shit.
Listen you dumb nigger. The entire reason for the wolf fetishism is due to hunter lobby propaganda. Hunting is a clear and obvious morally indefensible act. So hunters had to create propaganda that they were keeping the herbivores in check since those poor carnivores had been wiped out. Then idiots (believing hunter lies with a similar obliviousness to ecological reality) decided, "why not just bring back the predators"? So they did, and every time it's resulted in disaster.

BECAUSE MEGACARNIVORES ARE NOT A VIAL COMPONENT OF MEGAFAUNAL COMMUNITIES.

Most of the largest megafauna already don't HAVE fucking predators and they keep their own numbers in check just fine. As far as the rest go, there's no way in hell any number of lions on the Serengeti are keeping the numbers of Wildebeest and Zebras in check. Just not fucking happening.

Flerf tier retard. This is the hundredth time you've tried this, and but it won't be the hundredth time you get BTFO because I'm already well aware you're a chatbot.

>>4842147
>Bullshit, you believe animals like chickens and goats need to be "contained"
Yes, that's the point of livestock. They are domesticated specifically to live in confinement and die for food production. They are not wild animals. They are not companion animals. They are a meat plant and we only want them dumber and more sedentary.
>>
>>4842147
The wolves changed the rivers thing? Oh yes, that's as reddit as it gets. You can probably find it posted on reddit dozens of times. Now if you're just throwing a tantrum because you don't like facts and calling everything that doesn't play into your neoliberal fantasies "reddit" then eat a bullet and help the world out.

>>4842148
>From overpopulation to normal levels. Oh no, the huntin tags!
Deer overpopulation is a myth hunters made up. But let me guess, you DON'T believe in human overpopulation. How close to the mark am I? This is how you know you're a lying propagandist.
>>
>>4842151
I don't have to TRY shit. Your species is going extinct. Your hubris and arrogance won't change anything. But I will NOT tolerate the typical basic bitch human lying and anthropocentrism in my presence.
>>
>>4842152
>Its the hunters
Its a fact. Deer overpopulation is a thing. When it isn't a thing, hunters call it wolves threatening the population, just like when yellowstone wolves routed the elk hunting guide industry.

>you DON'T believe in human overpopulation
You see, it depends on which humans.

predators literally do keep the population in check, because if they dont, the herbivores will literally scour the land clean just like locust and we know what happens when locust have no predators, 4 pests campaign proved that most recently
wolves in yellowstone actually lets the forest recover and expand now that new saplings are not be eaten by moose and deer constantly
>>4842112
coyotes are shot because they keep attacking children, because just like deer, cougars, and bears, theyre wandering into the suburbs, and a coyote is just small enough to look harmless and friendly
>>
>>4842275
its a swing state, its not red, its purple
>>
>>4842277
It's perfectly fine to kill as many coyotes as possible because you're never going to kill them all. The federal government tried to and inadvertently spread them all across the country.

>>makes up complete and utter retarded nonsense out of thin air
would love to hear what you think the purpose of livestock like cows and chickens are for then.
>>
>>4842403
Well first off its basically beyond layman's terms that free range produce from the animals your speaking of it automatically considered to be higher quality, where as the latter is being studied for relation to the rise in ailments related to diet and low quality foods. Secondly, if you actually lived in a rural place, (you dont,) you'd realize the #1 feared pest is ticks. (Also something that can get out of control if deer numbers aren't handled.) Chickens literally spend like fucking 17 hours a day staring at the ground and eating bugs, you fucking dumbass retard. Why would you want them confined to a tiny space in your several acers of land? Same with goats? They graze, why the fuck would you have them confined?

Shoot yourself with a gun you bought from a black guy behind a Walmart you suburbanite dumb fuck.
>>
>>4842414
Chickens live 1.5 years as a laying hen or <1yr as a meat bird
Goats live 1.5 years and then it's on the roasting spit

They can be confined just fine. Free ranging is liberal hippy shit. You just increase loss to make it easier on yourself and then you're all "well NOW destroying the environment is justified, time to shoot the wolves". Or, you could build a fence like an intelligent animal. Even fucking ants keep their livestock deep within the fold. Are you a worse farmer than an ant?
>>
>>4842418
You're a retarded suburbanite and its obvious now. Chickens being confined may keep the safe from birds of prey but its literally much easier for coyotes, racoons, etc. to break into a cope and have at it, where as when chickens are left in the yard they have all sorts of call signs and shit the rooster does to keep the pack safe. Stop talking about shit you have 0 clues about.
>>
>>4842418
>Are you a worse farmer than an ant?
Ants are better farmers than any human, to be fair. The objective of the farmer ants are to raise food for their people, which they do far more efficiently than us.
>>
>>4842428
Ants basically run cottage CAFOs that are deeper inside "civilization" rather than right between civilization and not. This works really well, and it highlights that ranchers are dumb regressive hippies instead of actual conservative entrepreneurs. Rightoid and right wing are different terms for a reason.

We do this too. Families keep penned in livestock if the zoning laws aren't too anti-freedom (zoning laws should be abolished. they're liberal bullshit.) and corporations keep massive buildings full of them. The regressive hippies go "noooo the animal spirits are angry at you, runs-with-wolves" but the way forward from here is breeding dumber livestock until they're basically a plant that's actually tasty.
>>

zoning laws exist so you dont store dangerous chemicals next to a residential area
