USFWS

Touching.
I almost started crying.
Can I get a hug? Someone? Anyone?!

If USFWS didn't do things like this, who would?

So glad our money isn't being wasted.

If you view it as a political statement I see your point. If you view it from the perspective of an Entomologist (me) or someone who understands biology it is the proverbial Canary in the Coal Mine.

I agree: If not USFWS then who?

I get being a little jaded with the ESA considering it’s been kind of a political football, but this should be concerning to folks who care about good wildlife habitat. Plants don’t usually pollinate themselves.

Why did this trigger you?

I'm doing my part. I spread milkweed everywhere I hunt.

I don't know what you mean.

Define "trigger".

[mt terry d]

This guy's triggered. I'm not this guy.

 

[Ucsdryder]

This guy's triggered. I'm not this guy.

So you do know the definition. You were just playing coy. Getting worked up enough by something you saw to post a thread on RS filled with “?” And “!” asking for hugs is a pretty damn good example of getting triggered.

So now that we agree on the definition of triggered…

Why did this video trigger you?

So sarcasm is being coy? Or is it triggered? Whatever.
Anyway, now we can agree you are/were incapable of grasping the point I made.

Most likely, the USFWS probably has a wider audience then anyone else.

Yes, is it mushy goosy feel good feeling. But. It also helps the reasoning behind it.
It's like.bees, we need them and they're losing numbers.

Now if they would do videos like these as to the negative sideffects of grizs and wolves that would be amazing.

I live in an area they migrate through and been on hikes where we stumbled across what must have been tens of thousands of them. Pretty spectacular to see.

The one thing I don’t understand is what did they do before the eucalyptus got introduced in Ca? Those trees weren’t here 150 years ago…yet I’ve only ever seen them in large numbers in eucalyptus groves.
