So you force #Ukraine to give up their nukes, you don't follow up with your "security assurances" when #russia first attacked. It's 2 years after the full scale invasion, and the aid for Ukraine is paused, and now you have the audacity to tell Ukraine to not attack russian #oil refineries because "think of the oil #prices 🥺"

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that hunting can and should have a place in ecological management. Look, let's talk about the very real problem about deer overpopulation, and also, while we're there, talk about boar hunting in Texas as well. But first, the deer. The origin of deer overpopulation in the first place, of course, is the man-made elimination of predators from their environments. As such, the solution is clearly bringing back wolves and other deer hunting predators, right? Sure, great idea, but also: How do we deal with the fact that deer are often moving into less "wild" spaces, such as suburbs and cities. While I suppose it's not *impossible* to reintroduce wolves and the like to those areas, getting people on board with it is an uphill battle, and, for obvious reasons, not necessarily a good idea.
Now, let us shift to boar populations, particularly in the southwest. This is actually a kind of insane issue, because boars (an invasive species, mind you) are HUGELY damaging to local ecosystems, and are also really quite dangerous. Boar hunting, down there, is often seen as a bit of a chore, but a necessary one, at that. Hell, it's such a huge issue that in some areas, boar populations (this is 100% real btw) are legitimately handled by getting in a helicopter and gunning them the fuck down. While kind of ridiculous, this is done out of necessity.
My point is, is that human activity has pulled a few cats out of the bag that we can't put back very easily, and it's ultimately up to humans to regulate their environments in light of those intrusive forces. While I personally don't hunt, I will 100% defend it as an ecological necessity.

Please learn about the “weeds” that grow in your yards and in your gardens. Please please please learn about your native plants to where you live. So many of those weeds are actually beautiful and helpful plants
