Hello; I get your point. Around here many coal miners are out of work.
I guess the more clear example could be the slash and burn that has been going on in the Amazon (South America) for decades. The very poor natives need to feed their families so they cut down and burn off a few acres. The crops grow well for only a few years and use up the little amount of nutrients in the thin soil. ( the jungle ecology recycles dead organic material quickly so that at any one time most is in the living biomass and not in the soil.) The native farmers move on to another patch to slash and burn.
Another thing in the demise of the rainforest (some call it the lungs of the world but I think ocean algaes produce more oxygen) was the building of the Trans-Amazonian highway. A fellow I know helped build the initial road. There are time lapse photos showing the decline of the rainforest as side roads come off the main highway.

I'm not talking about that. That definitely needs to stop. Our neighbors sell beef that they've raised from calf to steer and they got protesters saying they were going to shut down their farm for "inhumane killings".
 
Some of the protesters are way out of hand.They carry on like raving lunatics;destroying property and assaulting people who do not agree with them.If no one has seen it already take a look at the video footage of the president's pick for education secretary as she was leaving a building and trying to get to her vehicle....one guy was seen running from a distance as he then jumped in front of the secretary and began screaming at her.I thought for sure that he and his cronies were going to attack her.
 
day starting alright, ragnar got a almond stuck on his beak and flew around the house pissed off about it, quite funny. water change Saturday so, about to shower and get that going.
 
If an animal is raised comfortably and killed humanely then there isn't an issue. Cattle were bred for hundreds of years for this, and now it's unnatural to farm them? come on.
 
Forgot the specifics of this story but there was a construction project to build a bridge or highways or something. It was cancelled due to some fish that breeds near the proposed site.

Cmon man people need work and some fish's breeding ground is going to stop it.

Before anyone tries to flame me make sure your not living near any paved roads or industrialized areas.
 
Just read that Angela Merkel is proposing to pay millions of pounds to the millions of Syrian refugees in order to persuade them to leave Germany and go back home.....LMAO!

Hello; I fear it is true that some groups wish to stop traditional animal farming. Some animal rights groups appear to have such an agenda. I see an AD for a group fighting against this, I believe it is called "Protect the harvest" or something similar. I have not checked them out so cannot comment about the exact stand they take.
Some groups do not want us to keep pets as well.

Its amazing and almost frustrating that something like that alone doesnt shut up all these people apposed to trumps plans.

Best part is from the way i understand it. Its nothing new and based off of a bill congressed passed in the 50's that grants the president the right to do such things
