Possums are wee holy men and I will not speak ill of them.
Possums eat ticks, which is great.
Also, they don’t play tricks on you. If you encounter one, you’ll be grimaced or played-dead at, but that’s all. They don’t come into your tent at night to mess with you.
And they’re very sweet to hold! Just don’t startle them, the claws are sharp and they’ll try to run up your arm with said claws.
y’all dumb as shit wildlife preservation isn’t a zero-sum game smfh
also efforts to save panda habitats have helped other animals in the area too
wildlife preservation isn’t a zero sum game but an absolutely obscene amount of money and attention has been given to panda conservation where it could be better spent elsewhere. also the chinese govt makes a massive amount of money off them so they’re definitely not just breeding them out of care for the species
Pandas are cute, amphibians (often) are not.
It really doesn’t need to be more complicated than that, conservation isn’t a moral imperative in and of itself.
Salmonella is a life-form, if it were going extinct, should we try to save it?
It is perfectly reasonable to choose which animals to shield from evolution’s merciless scythe.
Preserve the cute ones, let the others die.
Mr Human Pet are you really going to sit here and tell me that frogs aren’t cute
cute dont keep ecosystems were destroying in balance either
If evolution is allowed to work its ways on those creatures not cute enough to merit saving, eventually new and cuter variants might evolve to fill the niches left vacant. The entirety of an ecosystem can be cute if we allow the ugly ones to die.
NOT ON MY POST YOU FUCKING DON’T.
Do I think we should shield things from evolution? No, not really.
Do I think we should shield things from ourselves? Heck yes.
Oh, and evolution only works when you don’t KILL EVERYTHING IN THE ECOSYSTEM FIRST.
Ft. my brother’s arm and me snickering and egging him on.
I unfortunately ended the video about 2 seconds too early to hear me go “aww-AGH” as she adorably peeked from the end of the bag before lunging at my earbud cable.
A friend of mine posted this. Reblog to save a life!
goodrx.com will find the cheapest pharmacies in your area for your prescriptions and offers a discount program at no cost for some pharmacies (some don’t require the prescription to be cheaper at that pharmacy, it will provide a link to the discount card if it’s needed to get the cheaper price).
obviously not applicable to here but reblogging for americans because your health care system gives me second hand anxiety for all of you
GUESS WHOSE GETTING THEIR ABUTEROL!
Goodrx is pretty much solely responsible for me being able to initially try triptans for my migraines, since at the time my insurance didn’t cover them.
I use goodrx for my dog’s seizure medications, it’s a lifesaver, if I didn’t I would be playing $150 a month, when it’s reduced to about $70 a month
