>nooooo!!! you're not supposed to help the sea turtles reach the safety of the sea! you're supposed watch helplessly as they get devoured by sea birds!!like damn, why the fuck not? we need to increase sea turtle population because they eat jellyfish. what's the harm in that?
I don't disagree with this unless your job is a nature documentary film maker as by the very definition of your work you are meant to observe nature as it unfolds
>>5022879Sea turtle populations can be recovered almost immediately. Literally within like a year to a decade because they produce so many offspring and you can actually choose which sex they mature into. They're very easy to care for too. And the claims of them not being able to find their spawning grounds is fucking bullshit that's totally fabricated. But government agencies will actively prevent anyone from doing so, because all so-called environmental or animal protection agencies under the jurisdiction of the United States government work for lobbying groups and fishing companies, specifically shrimp trawlers HATE sea turtles, because they significantly impacts their profits.
>>5022881That's also bullshit. Humans have so significantly impacted every single animal on this planet that there is no "just observing". If you're not helping, you're actively harming at this point. And you'll notice, all these faggots that always claim you should only observe, only believe this when an animal is being harmed or killed. Nobody ever says that anyone should interfere to help animals, if their actions are directly harming them or their ecosystems, in which case you're not a neutral party anyway - you're already causing damage. The net result of this, of course, is the total destruction of Nature and animals. Corporations actively want animal extinctions because endangered species severely hurt their profits.
>>5022914If I am watching a nature documentary and they tranq a lion everytime it tries to kill something I would be pissed
>>5022879>We need to decrease plastic pollution because le turtles are DYING!>NONONONONOOO YOU CAN'T JUST PROTECT THE TURTLES MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE OCEAN THE SKY RATS THAT CAN SURVIVE OFF LITERAL GARBAGE WILL HECKIN STARVE TO DEATH!It's all so tiresome.
>>5022879Doing that would undo hundreds of years of evolutionarily selecting for luck
>>5022931how would that undo anything
>>5022941It would allow unlucky turtles to survive and pollute the gene pool
>>5022947they've been building luck for generations, this would allow a couple turtles with slightly lower luck than the average, which is still very high for them.also being born into the group humans decide to help is a pretty lucky feat
>>5022949second part is spot on
>>5022914Can you even read retard?You're not supposed to help ONLY DURING DOCUMENTARY RECORDINGS
>>5022912They will have entire agencies funded with thousands of taxpayer dollars and dozens of staff when really all it takes is just one determined autist who doesn't give a shit about laws.Here in Britain they found a few populations of our endangered sand lizards that were "unoficially introduced" to beaches and heathlands. At first they were freaking out until they conceded that it's good we have another population of them BUT DON'T HECKING DO IT AGAIN.
We have built gigantic cities over fields and valleys. We have made highways and factories and mines that have changed how the planet looks from space. We have domesticated cats dogs and made zoos where we keep animals captive their entire lives But make sure no to touch a baby animal. That would be bad.
i hate when i happen upon a sea turtle and i try to help it then a strawman bursts out of the ground to tell me im not allowed to
>>5022879It's a general rule because the average schmuck isn't educated enough to determine what actions are ecologically good or bad (even scientists fuck this up) and will always default to "protecting" the "cuter" or "weaker" animal. But predators are often ecologically far more important than their prey, at least on an individual level.I remember seeing a video of some weasel attacking a rabbit on social media and some retarded cunt started kicking the weasel to make it let go. The vast majority of people were congratulating that behavior and declaring they'd do the same.
>>5022997>Humans have destroyed huge amounts of the world's natural ecology so it's fine to be disruptive on a smaller scale because your fee fees are getting hurt that predators are predating / can't control your base impulsesPerfect example of shopping cart theory
>reading this threadThe amount of arguments you people make up in your heads and get eternally buttblasted over used to be hilarious, now it's just sad.
>>5023000It is fine to be disruptive. Nature is not sacred. It was not created by yahweh. It is not home to ancient spirits. It's just carbon. We are not magical gardeners tasked with being a planetary groundskeeper.We can shape the world however we want as long as the end result works out in our favor. Every single other animal in existence does the same. Even ants do. If raising the turtle survival rate improves the world, why not do it? The turtle death rate was maintained by evolution because turtles had less pressure on them and the current death rate was in line with their old survival rate. Therefore their death rate must be lowered.
G
There are plenty of turtle sanctuaries where the babies are protected from predators while they make their way to sea, I've been to one myself. The no interference clause applies to retarded shit like >>5022999, where braindead assholes will see a deer or a penguin or a seal (any "cute" herbivore/prey animal really) be predated on and start crying and whining about how they would've stopped the mean ol'predator from eating it, or do shit like stomping out a snake eating a fucking squirrel. I get the argument for helping sea turtles out, but you severely underestimate just how stupid the average person is when it comes to ANYTHING ecology related.
>>5022931won't undo shit. a hundred years is not even a milisecond in evolutionary scopelittle turtles dying is more of a coinflip then survival of the fitest
>>5023008>If raising the turtle survival rate improves the world, why not do it?how do you know it does? what if our efforts lead us to so many turtles that they completely wipe out a certain species of jellyfish that feeds on a certain type of toxic algae that rebounds and exists in giant plumes in the oceans which then infects tuna which we then feed on and we get sick from the algae? not saying this would happen but these kinds of unintended side effects happen all the time in nature when we think we're doing good but our ignorance gets the best of us.
>>5022879There's actually someone opposed to sea turtle recovery? >>5022881This is valid because they are there just to film and record nature. It defeats the purpose if THEY help.
>>5023008>We can shape the world however we want as long as the end result works out in our favor.Ecological devastation generally doesn't work out favorable to humans.>fedora garbageWhat a surprise
saving baby turtles from gulls indicates that you think that too many baby turtles are being eaten by gullscan you specify the exact amount of baby turtles that should be eaten by gulls and how many we need to save to reach that goal?the answer is that you have no fucking idea and if you say "all of them" then you're fucking retarded. let the gulls have their meal - seabirds have been eating turtle hatchlings for far longer than humans have been around and they haven't gone extinct. it's why they lay a bunch of eggs.so funny to see humans anthropomorphize animal offspring and project their own misplaced care instincts onto them and then call it noble behavior
>>5023207Go get eaten by gulls
>>5023207>GIVE ME A NUMBERthe best we can do until the population recovers. logic is a false god. superior lifeforms operate on passion.
>>5023191Thats funny because wiping wolves and mammoths the fuck out was great for humans but devastating to the environment
when I see a starvig seabird I'm gonna feed it a baby turtle
>>5023218False. I cannot go on a mammoth hunting safari in hyperborea. Why even live?
>>5022947Luck is a genetic attribute now?
>>5022914who are you helping? dont the predators also have young to feed?
The interfering with nature thing seems dated to me, no matter what all species have been impacted by human settlement and its highly likely the conditions they evolved around will simply not exist in the next 100-200 years.
>>5022990>Here in Britain they found a few populations of our endangered sand lizards that were "unoficially introduced" to beaches and heathlands.based as fuck
>>5022990They will gladly introduce any other kind of vermin without informing their citizens
>>5023218>devastating to the environment>allowed other species to thrive>enough dissonance to say both in the same sentence
>>5023207>noble behaviorEverything we thing a noble behavior is a noble behavior. It's bird's fault they didn't evolve to be so cute.
>>5023008Why are you even on this board? Your view of nature is psychopathic. Humans are different from other animals. We are high functioning beings with empathy, and with that comes a responsibility to preserve the space around us. We are the guardians of this earth and it's our duty to balance human technological growth while respecting nature.>but ants don't do that!Ants don't have sophisticated brains. Hurting something out of instinct is one thing, but it's entirely different if your able to process what hurt is.
>>5023808>Why are you even on this board? Your view of nature is psychopathic.Nta, but some of his points make sense
>>5023001And you came back when there was an out to do so with the site going down, yet here you are trying to grandstand. Now THAT is just sad kek
>>5023021Don't care. Love sea turtles. Simple as.
>>5023808Untamed nature worship is degenerate and deranged. Nature is not a being. It is not a mind. It is not a soul. We should change the world for the better. Wolf eradication was a good thing and we should do grizzlies and pumas next. Coyote eradication is possible and the ecosystem would be fine if we bolstered bobcat populations at the same timeWe should exterminate disease transmitting mosquitoes. We should prop up species we like when they aren’t doing well, which is usually mostly because of india and china’s unrestrained economy with only minor contributions from everyone elseWe should replace fields and deserts with forests. Absolutely. Nature isnt a temple. It’s a place. And man evolved to remodel. Chances are you wouldnt give a fuck just like you dont care when you walk through the woods without getting chased by coyotes and wolves.
>>5023850Narcissism.
>>5023878Species-wide narcissism is a prerequisite for continued existence.People who worship an untouched natural world inevitably do poorly until getting conquered by people who do not. It's evolutionarily unfit ideology. If you took your views seriously with like minded people you would degenerate into a jeet-tier "society" and then get conquered or bought out.It is actually perfectly ok to do things like kill off wolves and help desirable species maintain their levels despite anthropogenic disruption.
>>5022931>hundreds of years of evolutionarily selecting for luckhow about 400 Million years of luck? In Delaware there's PSAs called "Flip them over" educating people to save horseshoe crabs from certain death by flipping them over after many of them stupidly get stuck on their backs after mating. >400 Million years to natually select these crabs that won't get stuck on their backs? Mother Nature: Nah, fuck that! i like to watch those fuckers die long painful deaths while getting eaten alive by sky rats.https://www.horseshoecrab.org/act/flipem.html
>>5023880okay, Mao
>>5022999>It's a general rule because the average schmuck isn't educated enough to determine what actions are ecologically good or bad (even scientists fuck this up)>john smith saving a rabbit (cute) BAD!>((((((((((((((((((billionaires))))))))))))))))) dumping waste into oceans and cutting down forests GOOD!
>>5023923Self interested environmentalism is probably the only reason we haven't been conquered by mao 2.0 (emperor xi) lmao.You can have the west doing some things for nature but ultimately the wests benefit, or china steamrolls the west due to its lack of economic output (which necessarily changes or destroys nature - pick one, not neither). Or, zero environmentalism, which changes the west into china - poor long term prospects and a real average IQ of 85 from toxic load.Absolute environmentalism (ie: vegan bullshit) cripples economies, it even cripples human capability from not eating enough meat. Zero environmentalism achieves the same crippling, eventually. A fact of human existence is if you exist in the environment you will change it. Our duty isn't to preserve it exactly as it was found (it would change anyways)... our duty is to keep it in good shape for our own good, and sometimes even improve it. Because if we don't, we die anyways.
>>5023886If only they evolved a stronger tail
>>5022931It is the very principle of society to eliminate natural selection, we let the retarded live, infant mortality is extremely low, the same for women during childbirth, the sick can live longer...
>>5023737shut up schizo
>>5022879It doesn't get much safer once they enter the sea at that size. Most of them are gonna get eaten pretty quickly.
Remember when there was no predation on deer cause the US extirpated wolves and then the deer overgrazed and starved to death en masseYeah me neither actually save those turtles
>>5022879What do thes little guys taste like? Would you deep fry them or make soup?
>>5022879They're so cute...
>>5026778Can you buy them?
>>5026781In highly illegal ways yeah but the closest you're getting to owning a """"sea"""" turtle is getting one of those aussie pig nosed fellas.
>>5026803WOAH LOOK AT THESE LIL' FUCKERS
I'm interfering with nature if something cute is being harassed by something ugly. That's just how it is.
>>5026778It would be cool if they stayed that color when they become fully grown. Are there any turtles that stay blue like that?
Nobody would believe you if you said this picture taken wasn't AI generated in this day and age.
>>5026803Cute
>>5022879>sea birds are allowed to interfere with nature but humans, just another animal, are notMakes no fucking sense. If you are present and have the power to intervene, you should.
>>5022879At least these baby turtles usually get straight forward deaths. You could be a baby seal which gets the worst out of these birds since they love to gouge their eyes out and rip out their rectums just to eat the parasites they have in their shit. These birds are assholes to everything that crawls on the beach.
>>5029305Based gulls
>>5029300Because many don't see themselves as part of nature, but above it.
>>5031503I think that is a part of it. Human intervention is seen as cheating nature.
>>5023886if left alone for millions of years they would evolve a more stable body plan
>>5023850wolf eradication created the herbivore population boom thats fucking up vegetation growthcoyotes are one of the last natural defense lines against cats (invader pest)with no mosquitoes the population of animals that are killed by them would boom and the animals that feed on their larva would struggleYou talk like a religious rancher, fuck off
>>5023956why does the "economy" need to grow eternally? eternal growth is impossible with the current universe's physicshumanity needs balance not growth
>>5023850mmm pasda
>>5027218
>>5023850
>>5023021>how do you know it does? what if our efforts lead us to so many turtles that they completely wipe out a certain species of jellyfish that feeds on a certain type of toxic algae that rebounds and exists in giant plumes in the oceans which then infects tuna which we then feed on and we get sick from the algae?What if we just keep dealing with problems when we want to? Save the turtles, kill the algae, domesticate the foxes and fuck the dogs. Humankind best kind.
>>5032986Because it's dumb shortsighted behavior. What do you think happens when we inevitably back ourselves into a corner because our chain of stupid acts got too long and real life has no undo/rewind button?
>>5023886>after mating>wtf why wouldn't they just evolve this away????you're retarded
>>5022879Like turtles, don't like birds. I help the turtle. Simple as.
>>5022997Like I said. You're only supposed to "not interfere" with Nature when doing so would help. You can interfere with Nature all you want, so long as you're hurting it. Authorities don't really give much of a fuck then. You'll unironically face harsher consequences for rearing native sea turtles in a kiddy pool and then releasing them than you would from selling their meat on the black market.
>>5022998No strawmen needed. We already have women and simps doing all the work they might do.
>>5022999The actions of federal agencies regarding the natural world are almost always bad. If the authorities can't be trusted to do what's right, welp.
>>5023001These are not arguments made up in anybody's head. This is how these agencies work in real life. The fact that you're lying means you're one of them. Answer this simple question: how does killing animals help animals?
>>5023008Spoilers: it doesn't work out in your favor.
>>5023019So the only argument you devil-worshippers have been able to come up with his "I LIKE RIP AND TEAR!! YUM YUM YUM!!"Grow up, you fucking furfag.
>>5023845And that is the correct opinion and all that matters. Life to the servants of Life. Death to the servants of death.
>>5023218I assure you, causing an extinction event was not good for humans. Btw are we now admitting humans caused it? I thought that was a humanist no-no?
>>5023752Correct. Humans are actively doing such an insane amount of damage to Nature, that only proactive benevolence can even begin to balance the scales.
>>5022989Be quiet. I will no longer be tolerating devil-worshippers.
>>5022990Gorilla welfare. It's the only way now.
>>5023090>There's actually someone opposed to sea turtle recovery?Everyone that has the money and power to influence policy, yes. Hunters, farmers, fishing companies and corporations that want to destroy nature and pollute have controlled all federal agencies supposedly tasked with "protecting" animals and Nature for a century or more. Fish & Wildlife "protects" animals like the cops "protect" your rights. Chances are, if you're paying taxes to fund it, it's probably not doing anything good.>This is valid because they are there just to film and record nature. It defeats the purpose if THEY help.Problem is, the "non-interfering" documentarian is a pedowood lie. ALL documentarians are interfering. The animals can fucking see them. I remember seeing a documentary where the crew's own helicopter scared an elephant away from its herd to die in the desert and they pulled the "we can't interfere" shit even then.
>>5023207Protip: any time you want to stand up for predators' "rights" to eat other animals, cut off a piece of yourself and feed them! They love it!Always willing to sacrifice, just so long as it's someone else that pays the cost, right?
>>5023808These bots and jews are working a very intense anti-Nature, anti-animal campaign right now. Cat abuse threads & videos, animal gore threads (all paleoart has to be gory now) and videos (youtube is now full of gory animal videos - and everyone is using "it's natural" as an excuse to bypass censors), the entire monkey abuse nonsense, anti-cat propaganda, anti-wildlife rehab propaganda (which is getting worse all the time) all come from the same group. They see Nature as a competitor to their false religious beliefs and they're actively trying to both destroy it and make people think Nature is bad, so they shouldn't have any sympathy or reverence for it. If you've noticed the extreme uptick in this sort of content in recent years - this is the reason. It's extremely astroturfed.
>>5023840This is a bot.
>>5023850See? One of them finally had a little outburst and told the truth accidentally. This entire board has been overrun by subhumans that hate animals and Nature and the mods are in on it. Every fucking thread on this board is:- Animal rapists- Outright furfag bullshit- Animal gore- Animal abuse- Anti-animal or anti-Nature- Outright lying and spreading disinformation about known biology and ecology, etc.They have been allowed to absolutely wild the fuck out on this board without any consequence, but YOU will get banned if you notice what they're doing or tell them to fuck the hell off. Shit like this has NO PLACE on the animals and Nature board. It is pure, hateful anti-Nature propaganda.
>>5023008people actually disagree with this lmao. think about it>sea turtles die, its nature>sea turtles evolve necessary changes to not die too often, so a sustainable number of turtles survive to continue the next generation>enter human activity>more sea turtles are now dying than ever before>the surviving population is eventually going to reach a number too small to sustain further generations>but wait, there's hope>sea turtles reproduce prodigiously. a shitton of them die before even making it to the water. if save more baby turtles from being eaten, the turtle population will at least stabilize, if not recover>only possible downside is some of those saved turtles might be turtle retarded and die later>only real downside is some pest sea birds will die back a little. as if there aren't too many of the fuckers eating out of garbage bins already.>could identify vulnerable turtle predators and only save turtles from the non-vulnerable/unwanted ones
>>5033412People are far more willing to conserve a natural world that isn't hostile towards their interests. At least shaping nature means preserving some. The other options are a: no civilization at all (start with yourself, petafag) or b: completely eradicating all of it indiscriminately instead of wasting any more time or lowering efficiency putting up with its inconveniences (aka what the chinese and international elite do). I'd take a modified ecosystem with an annoying/dangerous predator or pest-like prey animal gracefully cut out over a paved over globohomo wasteland any day.
>>5026721That LITERALLY never fucking happened. The claims this horseshit is based on come from ONE island and even that's fucking nonsense because Reindeer can swim. There has NEVER been a forest that has collapsed due to herbivores.There HAVE been multiple plant species and entire ecosystems that have collapsed due to their removal though. There are multiple books about it.Every single claim of this kind is based on outright lies which are spread by federal agencies and propaganda, then shills online.>I saw it on teebee so it must be true!HUMAN sheep farmers destroyed the forests in Scotland. Yet deer are still being blamed.HUMANS destroyed the forests in Iceland.HUMANS at one point cut down almost every fucking tree in america and fucked up the vegetation so bad they caused the dust bowl. Yet deer were and are still blamed.Deer never collapsed the forests at Yellowstone. Yellowstone doesn't HAVE forest. It has sparse, open stands of trees. That's it. That's all it's ever had.The federal government created CWD by housing Mule Deer with sheep to keep deer numbers higher for huntersRanchers spread brucellosis to Bison and Elk.Humans brought chlamydia to koalas and leprosy to armadillos, then blamed the animals.It's nothing more than anti-Nature propaganda. Every single stupid reddit tier meme you hear about how "pandas are bad at evolution" is made up bullshit by propagandists and pushed by Eglin Air Force Base (reddit) and every single thing I'm saying is well-documented. The anti-deer propaganda originates with hunters because bloodsport literally can't be justified on moral grounds, so a made up bullshit story about "predators keeping the balance" had to be fabricated. In modern times this has gotten worse.
>>5026887Kill cuckoos wherever you find them.
>>5031514See: >>5033418This propagandist knows it's spreading disinformation.Everyone needs to read this book. You'll never look at these fucking Hellspawned propagandists the same again. You should be able to find a pdf on your favorite site.
>>5031517They can never answer this question because they and we know the answer: to make sure billionaires keep having more power. There's literally no other reason and nobody wants that, so they speak as though economic growth is some sort of eternal law, when most people are against it, in the hopes people will believe it can't or shouldn't be stopped.
>>5033418Listen retard. Extirpating wolves did, in fact, cause herbivores to overpopulate. And they did, in fact, cause forests to partially collapse. The scale of human activity was never great enough compared to what deer can do to millions of acres of forest. All of the predators in an ecosystem are NATURAL, AND NECESSARY to maintain the current state of the ecosystem.And in those last 5 words are why it didn't matter. Removing wolves objectively changed the state of the ecosystem. But it did not cause it to collapse. It replaced it with another type of ecosystem and animal populations left, arrived, grew, and shrank to fit the new state caused by overpopulated deer and elk. It was totally fine for us, and it was totally fine for life in general. I suppose that in the end, the same amount of animals lived and died over the same after the ecosystem adjusted to wolf removal. Adding wolves back was in fact restoring the ecosystem to its original state, but the human modification didn't turn the ecosystem into a wasteland. It turned a few woods into something closer to grassland.It is totally fine to shape an ecosystem as we see fit. Do you want to live around wolves? No. Not even the wolves (dogs) want to live around wolves. And then there's you, making it all about some weird fucking conspiracy theory because you don't eat enough meat for your brain to function for something. Fuck off, vegan schizo/cat schizo/whatever the fuck you are, "the retard that always posts this drivel".
>>5033424Wolf eradication factually changed the ecosystemWolves were 100% necessary to maintaining its original state. And that original state did look very cool, and have nicer weather.But it didn't matter. Fuck living around wolves. They are to dogs what abbos are to us.
>>5033417It's not up to you. It never was. You've declared yourselves enemies of Nature and you'll pay the price for it. Nature was never yours to mold.
>>5033427I will NOT listen to anymore propaganda. I'm shutting this shit down now and for all time.
>>5033428I needn't repeat myself. TV isn't reality and anything a government says CERTAINLY isn't.

>>5023008>>5032975Allow me to remind you
Don't feel like replying to anybody in particular, but in my opinion turtles are more valuable than some shit gull. Turtles take years to reach sexual maturity and reproduce. Killing a couple females is capable of devastating the population, so giving them even a little bit of help is worth it. The bird can go eat some french fries or other garbage instead.
Good thread.
>>5033551>>5033548>schizo got lost on his way back to /pol/Dont you have an abortion/red heifer/aliens thread to be in right now

>>5026803>>5026806How much do they cost How hard are they to care for
don't touch the turtles!!! they are good!!!!
>>5033388>They never answer the question
>>5033747Everyone has this opinion, yet the policy from the state is to kill as many as possible because fishing boats don't like them. If you went out on the beach and started stomping baby sea turtles and it was recorded, you'd probably get a fine. If you captured baby sea turtles and raised them in a kiddie pool til they were old enough to survive most predators, you'd probably go to prison. Never forget that ZOG serves evil. Always.
>>5034676Those are rightists. And their evil philosophies come directly from judaism.

How does killing an animal help it?>if you break the law something you love dies. nothing works better.Oof. You're gonna feel that one later. Remember you said this, because I will.
>>5034735>It's jewish deer sacrificeYou have schizophrenia congrats>How does killing an animal help itHow does teaching the populace that capturing wild animals to keep as pets is against the law work? It works well.>Oof. You're gonna feel that one later. Remember you said this, because I will.Schizophrenic people do tend to spout immaterial threats. I know. A hobo once started screaming about how "they" were going to gut me alive when I told him to get a job. You're recognizable on this basis alone because untreated schizophrenia that's gotten this bad is fairly rare among people allowed to touch a computer.
>>5034739>How does teaching the populace that capturing wild animals to keep as pets is against the law work? It works well.Nobody respects your ZOG bullshit anymore.>Schizophrenic people do tend to spout immaterial threats.What you fail to realize is we keep lists too.

>>5038726Because you already have enough domesticated (mildly retarded) species.

>>5034806A lot of cool and weird looking turtles happen to be pretty obscure. Which isn't surpassing since most of them are only native to third world countries where they over hunt them to the point of endangerment for useless crap like tradition medicine, what a shame.
>>5027817It's just an albino turtle i don't see what's so hard to believe
>>5039089>*surprising not surpassing
>>5022914>If you're not helping, you're actively harming at this pointHumans and their greed ARE the harm, dont lie to yourself saying its only some human behaviors or its due to ignorance. Human greed and their self-importance are the cause, and those traits aren't going away any time soon. More often than not when someone says 'save the planet' they really mean save humans and their ability to live comfortably on the planet. Objectively speaking, Humans are an oil fire, best way to deal with it is to let it burn itself out, sure itll take a whole lot of life out in the process, but its better than letting humans 'fix' some of their mistakes long enough for them to do even more damage, potentially even getting to the point where theyre capable of wiping out life on earth entirely. "Helping" is harming in the long run.
>>5039142After America goes commie people like you will be in gulags and your last words will be>FOOL! I AM INTELLIGENT! YOU WILL BE LOST WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OF DINOSAUR TRIVIA! YOU WILL DIE WITHOUT MY OPINIONS ON ENVIRONMENTALISM!Comrades hans, ajit, xiao, and hernandez will say>lol you’re going to help rebuild a hydroelectric dam. sabotage will be punished with order 1911.
>>5039162America is quickly becoming irrelevant anon, have you been living under a rock or something? Its been all over the news, pretty hard to miss this shit show.
>>5039183You mean the news that called xi a hero because the nork fatso in charge visited for tea and often said russia was a powerful military threat? That news?The news is a joke. Propaganda was legalized by the US in 2013.
>>5039206Yeah that news, also the very relevant news that always gets push to the back burners asap, like how the US is barely able to dictate trade negotiations anymore and the 'nork fatso' had to shit the bed on everyone and their penguins just to get them to the table, you could be excuse for missing that news anon, was only on for maybe half a cycle
>>5034676>>5034721It's actually just Americans that do this, and think like this. One even drove like 500 miles just to shoot a little girl's goat. Not even joking.
>>5033492Conservation efforts happened
>>5033492People like sea turtles, thankfully
>>5038726It's worse than a bootlicker, it's a zogbot. It WANTS to harm animals and destroy Nature. That's it's agenda. This is why nobody should ever listen to illegitimate authorities and always be prepared to defend Nature and animals from them.
>>5039142>Human greed and their self-importance are the cause, and those traits aren't going away any time soon.Yes they are. Humans won't be around much longer.
>>5034676*jews and goylems
>>5022879lol
Why are humans so fucking crazy when it comes to animals?
>>5038743/argumentWild animals are not your pets. They can not be owned without a risk to the real populace. They can not be cared for once confiscated. All that can be done is euthanasia. The suffering of the moron is just a bonus.Leave wild animals in the wild. >>5040839Wild animals are not pets. The wild caught pet trade has caused extinctions before and continues to do so. Deer keeping caused CWD. ALL keeping of native wild animals must be banned and the perpetrators punished. We have lots of domesticated animals that are happier being pets than anything else, like cats. Get one of those if you want a cute furry animal to live in your house.
>>5022879The prime directive forbids it
Göring saved animalsare you worse than Göring?
>>5042018Not even worth arguing with someone as retarded as you
>>5042139>nooooo you need to let me poach deer to keep as petsReindeer were domesticated for this purpose. Leave the wild deer alone. Plus so called pet deer have a habit of being used to start deer farms.
>>5022999This. One of the most devasting things to nature is the housecat. They kill small birds and mammals left right and center with no restraint, despite not needing to eat them to survive. Yet suggest that people keep their cat indoors in areas where endangered birds live, and people throw an absolute bitchfit, because they can't accept that their lickle furbaby is in fact a highly effective predator that does not belong in the local ecosystem. You saw it last year where a conservation agency *suggested* banning domestic cats from free roaming in areas where endangered Scottish wildcats are known to live to prevent competition, and the papers went absolutely insane, presenting it as an evil authoritarian government banning owning cats outright in all of Scotland. Also, people letting their dogs run around off leash because they don't accept the fact that their dog is a predator and could kill wildlife.
>>5039616What is it with Americans and claiming they need to hunt to keep the population of deer in balance? How did the deer population stay in balance before humans arrived in the Americas then? I get this in the UK where there are no longer any predators to keep deer in check, but doesn't the US have wolves and bears? and if not in the area, why can't they reintroduce them?
>>5042262>What is it with Americans-Stopped reading here. The answer to your question is: "because Americans are stupid" and it hasn't changed.
>>5042262>why doesn't America, a major grower of livestock and infamous lover of meat products, encourage higher numbers of animals that eat livestock?>why, instead, do Americans prefer to keep herbivore numbers in check by eating venison?I dunno, man.It's a fucking mystery.
>>5042262We killed their main predators because they are even worse pests than the deer. If you want to disagree live around them and try and engage in any agriculture/outdoor recreation. Wolves are horrid. The only people who want them back live in the middle of the city. >but they're dogs!Their behavior is closer to a pitbull on cocaine. Dogs don’t even descend from this wolf species. They are different animals, like norwegians and sudanese.
>>5042262>they need to hunt to keep the population of deer in balanceWe do. That's it. Unfortunately, midwestern/southern retards farm deer to stock their lands to make hunting more fun.> How did the deer population stay in balance before humans arrived in the Americas thenMillions of wolves.>I get this in the UK where there are no longer any predators to keep deer in checkYou mean the ones they killed?>doesn't the US have wolves and bears? and if not in the area, why can't they reintroduce them?We have a few to control elk.The minimum number of wolves to control mid tier cervids like whitetail is also the minimum number of wolves needed to make them an active threat to human life. Wolves and humans are in the same niche and directly compete with each other. Cooperation and eradication are the only options, and dogs (paleolithic northeast asian wolves) are already our friends so
Good thread
>mfw when looking into this thread
>>5022931Getting saved by a human is a form of luck.
>>5022990>"unoficially introduced"isn't that just rewilding really?
>>5023021>what if our efforts lead us to so many turtlesThat wouldn't happen retard because the whole point is that the turtles are endangered (meaning, barely any left compared to what there should be) because of us, so helping babies into the water will not lead to some mass turtle overpopulation and le toxic algae blooms. It just means everything breaks even.
>>5023886>>5033129It's worth mentioning that horseshoe crabs evolved a very male-biased sex ratio, and it's not uncommon to see up to a dozen males scrambling over each others to mate with a single female.So saving male crabs is essentially worthless, there's a huge oversurplus of them and any available female will get fertilized either way.
>>5038686Don't let the CIA know about it. They'll invade your country for shrimp boats.
>>5042088Then stop interfering to kill them.Amazing how it's only "interfering with Nature" when you're helping. It's never "interference" when you're hurting. Odd propaganda, if you don't know where it comes from.
>>5042139It's a bot. It's literally spamming this board 24/7 with contrarian nonsense for engagement farming and to spread jewish propaganda. Report it. If jannies don't like it, they can suck a dilator.
>>5045409>Amazing how it's only "interfering with Nature" when you're helpingNo, it's interference when you think you're helping but you're actually hurting, by doing dumb shit like feeding wild animals and making them into pets. If the sea turtle population needs supported leave it to the wildlife biologists to decide that it does and how to support it. Some of those turtles are actually meant to die because they're genetically unfit from birth and picking ones to save requires careful observation.>It's never "interference" when you're hurtingIt is interference when you're hurting. That's why we have restrictions on hunting so people don't manage populations into oblivion and stay around the kill rate the ecosystem was meant to support, and if you fuck with the non-game birds you go to jail. That's also why you're not allowed to feed wild animals or make them your pets. Because it hurts nature.>Weird propagandaIt's not propaganda. You're just an idiot. The world is against you because you are stupid. Not because it's a conspiracy.>Where it comes fromEcologists.Now bring on the cope and schizophrenic rambling.
>>5045410>Wild animals aren't your pets>"jewish propaganda"Sounds more like the bot is youEvery accusation is a confessionWhat's next? "You can't help the environment somewhat because all humans have to die. looks like you cant support conservation now. JEWS!"I'm pretty sure BP/shell has a memo encouraging people to say that somewhere...
>>5044305Howdy partner
Lol humans are such a shitshow
>>5022931That isn't luck, it's natural selection. Humans don't help out random animals. The turtle's traits are being selected: their cute appearance, behavior and their impressive size when matured give them an advantage over other animals in getting human's help. Repeat this process for millions of years and turtles will evolve traits that will be beneficial in attracting human's attention and care.This will be the next step in evolution. Life will eventually learn to co-exist with humans in order to thrive, much like how plants evolve to live with insects, animals and plants will adapt to benefit from human activities
>>5044910It isn't worthless to pharma companies.
