If elephants had mug shots, this bull would have one. He was a repeat fence-breaker and his crop raiding activities put the people who live next to Tsavo West National Park in danger. It took helicopter pilots, crane truck operators, rangers and vets, working with KWS, to move him.

If you've been to a slaughter house or watched videos of pigs and cows being slaughtered -- or how they're raised-- you'd never eat dead cows or pigs again. It's bad for your health. They're called "beef" and "pork" so you forget they're cows and pigs. Pigs have the intellect of a 3 year-old human.

This meta control switching the terrestrial carbon sink into a source is one side of the same coin: both ends of hydrological extremes intensifying... Marine heatwaves intensifying both are at the center of the coin flipping ever faster with the net result of drying out continents #climate #earth

Without water, forests lose their ability to absorb CO₂
To survive dry spells, trees stop the water-rich process of photosynthesis. When nature’s natural carbon capture machine grinds to a halt entire forests end up producing more CO₂ than they absorb.
