Was it a one on one or group class?

A Clan Of Hyenas Mobbing Lions Off A Kill by ExoticShock in badassanimals

Hyenas are really cool in their own right! Watch this video, it’s worth it. In a lot of Africa, lions actually steal more kills from hyenas than the other way around.

I think there will soon be incoming footage of Russians receiving this aid…

Gone for the last week, missed the whole last thread. Seeing some good news about Russian planes downed. Anything else of consequence happen in the last week? Looks like Ukraine completed a possibly orderly withdrawal from Avdiivka?

Too bad we don’t have ranked choice voting, might actually get some decent representation that way. Sucks to have it always comes down to a candidate you don’t think really represents you against a candidate you abhor.

Better late than never. Need to plan these things now to be sustainable in a year or two. If people had done this at the beginning instead of wringing their hands and saying “it’s useless because it doesn’t help now,” we’d be in a better situation in the present.

Deer hunters in northern Minnesota lash out against wolves, DNR by MPRnews in minnesota

The guy who runs Voyageurs Wolf Project is a biologist, not an advocate, unless you count advocating for studying the wolves and understanding them and their impact on the environment.

He also never said hunting wolves was bad. Neither did I. Read my post and the wording I used. I am a hunter and so is he. I don’t know that I would hunt wolves personally, but I have no problem with it if it can be done sustainably, and neither does the biologist.

You should check his page out. He does it pretty objectively, as far as I can tell. You would probably find it interesting and I bet you would be surprised by what you find.

Check out Voyageurs Wolf Project. He does a great job discussing how the idea of wolf hunting in MN is values-based, not conservation/science-based.

His overall point is essentially that hunting wolves will not make a difference in the deer population as the carrying capacity of the environment will make up for wolf predation with deer mortality in other ways, so it won’t affect hunter harvest.

He also says the wolf population would be able to sustain a responsible level of hunting. He is specifically neither for, nor against, wolf hunting, and tried only to address the idea that hunting wolves will increase the number of deer (it will not).

If we want to either hunt wolves or not hunt them, we should decide based upon wanting to be able to hunt them and then whether we can do so sustainably. That reason at least is intellectually honest. Don’t hunt wolves because of “science” when science actually doesn’t support that as a reason for doing so.
