While the message is none the less important, I feel like this is staged. Look at the size of the piece of wheel left on the grinder, and look at the piece stuck in the face shield. The piece on the grinder looks like a 4 inch disk on a 7 inch grinder, while the piece stuck in the shield looks like a 7 inch dick.

By popular demand posted:There was an actual debate on importing hippos to the us. For livestock. at one point there was the option to let cheetahs loose in texas or something. Because there's no cheetah equivalent that's going for the insanely fast antelopes, they went extinct. Cheetahs are basically a kind of dog tho.

Before the hogs took over, that woulda been a good option. I have a feeling they'd destroy the kittens too quickly to be of use now. God, can you imagine cheetah bayin' hog? "Rawr, cough. Nah, ain't gonna gently caress with you, just stay there. Not like you can outrun me anyways. Oh poo poo, here come the dogs! Sorry about your lu-uuck. Bye now!"

I think there was a push to repopulate the southwest with elephants as if that would replace niche left by the mammoths going extinct.

You got a source for this because that sounds like some massively made up bullshit. The American antelope is a different species who already has natural predators and in Texas is the focus of restoration work after facing massive die offs several years back.

Yeah I had it in a book that was talking about the "rewilding" movement, I'll see if i can find it. The basic concept of the book was that it was inherently arbitrary, because you'd have to figure out how far to try and turn back the clock. Ornamental Dingbat posted:I think there was a push to repopulate the southwest with elephants as if that would replace niche left by the mammoths going extinct. This was also discussed in it. Like do you try and restore ecosystems to 1400CE, or do you try to restore them to 140,000BCE? Why? The other part was that it would probably be a good idea to you know take care of biosphere. They were for sure talking about introducing cheetahs because the cheetah equivalent of north america was extinct, but some prey animal or other that was adapted for high speeds like that was still around, and the existing cheetah was closely related to the extinct one. I might be wrong about if it was an antelope or not. e: in https://www.nature.com/articles/436913a there's a guy talking about releasing cheetahs and elephants quote:n a paper published in the August 17 issue of Nature, Josh Donlon, a graduate student in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, at Cornell University, is proposing a program under which wild African animals such as lions, elephants and cheetahs could be introduced to the Great Plains of the United States, which includes part of Minnesota. The book was about guys like this but also about the basis for the movement in general and a lot of other stuff. SniperWoreConverse fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Sep 4, 2021 |

there's a dude trying to do this in Siberia, as well (in advance of cloned mammoths, is the idea (since they only died out 3600 loving years ago  ))

Maybe we should start with A) continuing to reintroduce wolves and B) letting them loose on the people who kill the reintroduced wolves

Their ideas are all based on wanting a time machine and ignorance of actual ecological systems that exist now.
