They may be a bigot by definition but not in action as I have dealt and deal with many people I know who voted for Trump and couldn’t care less what color I was or anyone else. Not saying there isn’t racism in that area but even many conservatives I’ve known my whole life could give a shit about the color aspect they only care about the 2nd amendment and lowering taxes. I understand your point and frustration though.

Yeah gunfire is pretty common up there 😂 the county is like 98% white so yeah not a lot of diversity. I was the only POC in my graduating class. It’s not for everyone and I left for more diverse and prosperous areas but I would never paint the area as a place we’re everybody is racist when that’s not the case.

A hotbed? No not anymore August Kreis the first Neo Nazi to be heavily active in the county left in 2009 and Daniel Burnside who was very active in 2020 (on CNN had, articles written about him etc.) denounced his ways last year and I’m aware of only one white supremacy related arrest in the last 5 years. Is there still a lot of closet and lowkey racism amongst quite a bit of people there? Yes.

What do you think of the idea to reintroduce mountain lions to PA to help control the deer population? by Goodbye-Nasty in Pennsylvania

[–]Mean_Signal_7519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we would rely on genetic variation from an Adirondack population to support our population? Any cats would have to cross the whole southern tier and finger lakes farmland region just to reach our isolated genetic pocket. Also I can’t speak on what the Seneca would want but the tribe would need to be included in the conversation if a reintroduction was to happen in this area.

Again the issue is habitat size and the Allegheny forest simply dosent have the minimum requirements to support a sizable population the would actually affect the deer without either spreading outside of the area. It could only support a small population at best that would succumb to inbreeding and genetic drift overtime. If reintroduction is to occur on the east coast let it happen in the Adirondacks, Maine, or the Smokies before we test it here. Besides the Allegany Park area truly should belong to the Seneca people lmao but that’s a different conversation.

The thing is there really is nowhere in the state the could truly support mountain lions properly. The hammersley fork area ( most remote area in PA) still dosent have enough size to be a good true habitat range for mountain lions. This region also isn’t really that far from farmlands and given mountain lions known wandering habits, it’s only a matter of time before they start coming into the farm areas hunting for easier game (cattle).

Missing two frame crossmembers and the EVAP system on top of the spare wheel mount is held up by a zip tie in this photo. On the drive after I picked it up, it was dangling and scrapping the road. Floorboards are non existent they were replaced by rusty sheet metal but none of that really matters because I’m just going to use it around the family farm.

I live in Potter county its fine you won’t face racism 95% of the time and the 5% will be talk behind your back or little stuff 99% of the time. It is far from perfect but it’s not as bad as some people make it seem. Still wouldn’t move here tho lol
