  • Im quite greatful for the environmental reforms that took place. If only your generation wasn’t indirectly responsible for the host of other issues we are dealing with right now.

    Imagine knowing what we do now about DDT and defending it’s use. I encourage you to read up on DDT resistance. Silent spring caused a lot of people to over-react and the culture it spawned created other issues but look at the levels of PFAS in our water supplies worldwide. We learned nothing.

    I’m old. My back hurts. It’s not my first time seeing a dehorned rhino. It will still make me pissed to see it every time. I’ll appreciate not being faced with it in a place called uplifting news. I read these posts to improve my mood. Capisce?






  • I know this is uplifting news but that picture raises my bile. I would rather see those thieves impaled on that horn.

    Edit: In case it’s not obvious, I didn’t read the article before commenting. I saw the image and was unhappy with how it made me feel so I didn’t read the article at that time. If you read the article the context is this is dehorning to reduce the incidence of poaching. Still the image is distressing if you don’t have the context.
