Literally. The climate implications of the US military alone are apocalyptic.

Oh no! I decided to use the barred owl as my mascot.

I find it strange that we consider them invasive. If an animal flies from one part of the country to another and sets up shop, that seems like a pretty natural process that shouldn't be interfered with to me (unless maybe a huge truckload of owls was brought out West which started the whole thing I guess).

The US sure loves their genocides. I'm hoping for a protracted owl war against the regime. Maybe Dirt_Owl can help set that in motion.

If they're killing the invasive species, that's actually a good call.

It's not hard to properly identify an owl, and they typically hire really good people for that stuff. Source: my [relative] used to work for the forest service as an ornithologist.

Also: if they accidentally kill some non invasive birds by accident, that's still less destructive than letting the invasive species crowd out the original ecosystem.

Thank god it's not like some fish where half.the juvenile stages look the same.

This sounds like a betrayal equivalent to if Jane Goodall used her skills to help exterminate a tribe of gorillas

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Do you know what the forest service does? They are a conservationist organization within the US government. It's one of the most unambiguously positive parts of the government.

My relative would tag specimens of protected and endangered species of owls, note their locations, and then prevent loggers from destroying those habitats. [Relative] is a hippie environmentalist, and they literally would not have taken a job that harms animals.

Killing invasive species protects countless other species from extinction, so it has to be done. Those invasive species have their own habitat elsewhere, so they're not threatened, and they have to go.

Of course the feds are in awe of comrade dirt_owl's power. This is the only thing they know, violence. Dirt_owl if you need refuge this community has your back

barred owls are OP and must be nerfed

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net Might as well tag them.

Nobody should talk behind someone's back, even as a joke.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

They can turn their head 360 degrees so it's not my fault.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

It's all your fault.

In fact, Adam and Eve? That was your fault too.

So like ther was this one time some mice got into some nuclear waste bags and consumed like Cobolt 60 contamination.

The the owls got a hold of the mice and the base personnel had to track down the owls because their poo was leaving radioactive waste all over.
