i usually don’t add onto posts but on the link above there is a petition against the camps and it is far from its goal, consider that, this is horrifying
I’m telling you elephants are chill motherfuckers. They fucking love being helpful. They once defended a man with heatstroke from a truck that came to rescue him. They knew he was sick, laying against a tree for shade. They were watching over him and petting him, and they threatened to charge the vehicle for coming towards him. Another person passed out, and elephants cried over her and buried her body in a traditional elephant funeral. (Piling branches on her). And were quite spooked when she got up later.
And an elephant was helping workers to put logs in holes for a wall. On one hole, the elephant absolutely refused to set the log in, despite being punished and goaded. Turns out there was a sleeping dog in the hole.
There are so many good elephants stories. They will even help zookeepers wash other elephants– literally, a zookeeper can be like “[Name 1], please wash [Name 2]” and he will go wash that elephant correctly.
Listen guys. Not only are elephants people, but they’re largely better people than us. I’m 10000% serious.
I wish Kim Jong-Un would hurry up and end our suffering
i donât normally add to posts but while interning in LA, it was a very real thing to just not wear deodorant and all the girls wore this ânaturalâ powder or whatever in their pits but it was summer and they couldnât smell their own B.O. I really thought I was gonna die so I dead ass told a girl that she stank and she just⌠disagreed with me
Plants from 50 different countries….you know what that sounds like? A recipe for invasive species. It doesn’t look like they give a damn about containment, either, so if even one of those 40,000 plants has incompatible allelochemicals or an enemy release mechanism, Seattle’s native flora is screwed. This is not nature, it’s a Frankensteinian parody of it that could never exist on its own but has been artificially kept up to flaunt its owner’s wealth.
The perfect example of what the rich want nature to be like: contained and commodified at high prices for their own personal use and with all the necessary but inconvenient parts of an ecosystem excised, while the lower class labor in concrete jungles because their own environments have been destroyed and desperately fight over the chance to just see a bit of green again.
If you ever need an example of the exact opposite of solar punk, this is it. A sanitized version of nature for the elite, built off the backs of exploited people and ecological destruction.
Ok, as a biology major, y’all need to chill. Snakes this big are incredibly docile. They have been bred this way. Furthermore, the person taking care of this animal could not properly take care of them if they did not feed them regularly and well. This child is in no more danger than if she was sitting next to a big dog.
Oh, and on snake yawning, the person above is wrong (SOURCE 1; SOURCE 2)
Please don’t demonize snakes people they’re amazing creatures and clearly this one means no harm
This is almost as bad as that shitty urban legend about the snake “measuring” its owner before eating them
It is also a way to stretch their jaw muscles when they are too tight, and to re-align their jaw if they bump in to something.
that’s a puppy y’all need to learn how to be nice!!!
