Well, in positive news there are 40% more tigers in the world than we thought. https://www.npr.org/2022/07/23/1113186725/tigers-population-numbers-endangered-species "" posted:An estimated 3,726 to 5,578 tigers currently live in the wild worldwide — up 40% from 2015, according to a new tiger assessment from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). To me that's grrrrrreat!

Yeah but there’s a lead lining on this one. The statement “there are more tigers in captivity in Texas than there are wild tigers worldwide” is now a factoid.

Wrong Theory posted:Well, in positive news there are 40% more tigers in the world than we thought. The way you know we live in the worst timeline is that we have all of these billionaires and they’re spending their wealth on vanity projects like private spacecraft and buying Twitter and not one of them is working on reintroducing large numbers of apex predators into civilization. Preferably genetically modified ones at that. Just imagine how much more humble humanity would be if there was a non-zero chance that on any given day some useless hedge fund manager would be plucked from the streets of Manhattan by an enormous grizzly bear with huge bat wings to be carried off and devoured, their shrieks drowned out by the bear’s triumphant roar and the flapping of gigantic leathery wings. I say MORE lions, tigers and bears, but with incredibly deadly creatures enhancements!

Yeah rednecks will jump at the chance to hunt newly unextinct megafauna. What we need are stealthy sabertooth tigers that can give as good as they get.

Wouldn't do much. There's an incredible misconception that wolves pose a huge threat to humans, but the statistics don't bear it out. This is one of my favorite things to compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_dog_attacks_in_the_United_States#Fatalities_in_2022 More people were killed by domestic dogs in the United States in April of this year in the US than were killed by wolves in all of North America since the end of WW2. They're totally capable of it, they just generally don't gently caress around with people.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Gargantuan pieces of poo poo are doing their best to hunt predators now. ffff that article was so enraging. I grew up around Yellowstone and there were wolf arguments every week in the paper growing up. I can fully understand how they've become ideological icons. loving assholes made good on their threats and nobody fought em is the real injustice. It's honestly chilling because I think it's a very clear picture of what will happen more broadly in this country soon. Also, I have a bunch of ranger friends and cannot fathom them doing what those rangers did. So loving upset at this.

Reading that article, if the ranger accused of killing a wolf inside the park was so worried about his retirement, he shouldn't have been trying to kill one at the very edge of the park and minutes away from the evening deadline for shooting one.

pantslesswithwolves posted:Hi, can you make a thread about your experiences working my dream job? Well, there's not that much to say. I'm just a seasonal Interp ranger, so most of my job is talking to people in some capacity—working the desk, doing programs, roving trails, that kind of stuff. Great job if you love being outdoors and talking to people, but there are definitely challenges like relatively low pay, the difficulty of getting a permanent job, driving an hour and a half for groceries, etc. Like most jobs, a lot of it is dependent on coworkers/supervisors (I've been lucky to mostly have good experiences with both, but I've definitely heard some horror stories), and the experience is what you make of it—I've had a great time at most of the parks I've lived/worked at, but living in a rural area with few people around other than your coworkers can also be extremely isolating if you're not socially outgoing, especially at the smaller parks. Won't find a better job to practice photography, though.

Took them loving long enough. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1552068076954300416?t=nY0uS-J7DD3JGf87mxgaJQ&s=19 Still likely to amount to gently caress-all, but sounds like enough people are testifying to grand juries that they couldn't keep a lid on it anymore. A lot of Pence people testifying too.
