So, the entire internet is angry at Wombat kidnapper woman.
Meanwhile, they happily cram Burgers and Pizza into their mouths, adding to the 80 Billion animals killed by humans each year.
This is a holocaust in plain sight and because it's the NORM, it's largely invisible.
Bycatch alone, we kill 5 fish for every 1 eaten, and more than half of that doesn't even make it to consumer due to spoilage from broken cold chains.

If H5N1 can screw up Antarctica, It can screw up America. Buckle up.

Something is very very wrong.
There are no birds outside. And it's already reasonably warm.
Nature is dead. We've killed it.

Korea on fire.
At least 26 people have died and hundreds of buildings destroyed in the south-eastern province of North Gyeongsang, with the country’s disaster chief saying the fires had exposed the “harsh reality” of global heating.
About 37,000 people have been displaced, the Yonhap news agency said.
The military has released stocks of aviation fuel to help keep firefighting helicopters flying to douse flames across mountainous regions in the province, where fires have been burning now for nearly a week. More than 300 structures had been destroyed, officials said.
As of Thursday morning, authorities were mobilising more than 9,000 people and about 120 helicopters to battle the fires, the government’s disaster response centre said.
The fatalities include a pilot whose helicopter crashed during efforts to contain a fire and four firefighters and other workers who died after being trapped by fast-moving flames driven by strong winds.
Authorities have not disclosed details of the civilian dead, except that they are mainly in their 60s and 70s.
Last year was South Korea’s hottest year on record, with the Korea Meteorological Administration saying that the average annual temperature was 14.5C – two degrees higher than the preceding 30-year average of 12.5C.
Again.. The business of "fighting fires" with "Gasoline."
Turn around, forget, repeat.

Mass stabbings now, guess 5 is a pretty big number in stabs, he's gotta run pretty fast to catch people vs mass school type shootings.
