Don't care about the massive damage done to native ecosystems by the constant release of vast numbers of invasive pheasants for shooting?

Maybe you'll care about catching Lyme disease instead.

Wasn't there a London study where they let a population of foxes alone for some years and followed it by some years of culling. It made no difference to the fox population. They found their own level either way.

In a characteristically Israeli act of revenge against the Sumud Flotilla, the IOF bombed the Gaza port today, murdering several children in the process.

Quds News Telegram post with a picture of the dead being transported. The faces of the dead are covered with orange rectangles:
Breaking | In an initial toll, Seven Palestinians were killed, most of them children, and others injured after Israeli occupation aircraft bombed a displacement tent in the Gaza port area, west of Gaza City.

Repairs may take months because of sanctions limiting access to parts and tech.
