DOGE just froze funding to vital Federal and Indigenous conservation programs devoted to supporting the very delicate and tenuous existence of the black-footed ferret.

I fell in love with these animals as a kid traveling to our National Parks. Their rarity and ferocity made me sharply aware, even as a child, of just how much of a responsibility we have toward our environment. I can't bear the thought of them being a fucking casualty of Trump and Musk.

Look at them! They do war dances.

Shit man, this bunny war is fucked. I just saw a bunny clap his paws together and say "the ten hays" or some similar shit, and every one around him was surrounded in hay, loafed on the ground, and then started eating. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting flop and level 2 binky. I think I just heard "power word:thumper" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

Hello friends, it's the real and important time to help. The war has ended, but the suffering has not ended. The suffering has actually begun now 💔😭 Everything has become difficult and extremely difficult, but we will not lose hope. I am now in dire need of your help. Now there is hope to leave the sector and start a happy life again, but my transfers on gofundme have stopped for a long time and I have only received about 10 thousand of the total amount 😭💔

So now I am in dire need of your donations and your help again on my new campaign chuffed. Please, I am in dire need of you 🙏❤️

Mosquitoes actually are not replaceable in any ecosystem that naturally has them and that includes replacing them with any of the non biting species because these are the traits that make them so core to food webs:

Tiny

Can use every single pool of moisture to raise generations no matter how dirty and stagnant and low in oxygen

Can fly

Males get by on just sugars

Females take protein from larger animals to manufacture thousands more eggs

All these things combined allow thst ecosystem to make huge volumes of insects from conditions barren to most other macroscopic life. You might think there are other insects that seem to make huge massive swarms out of nothing but there's really nothing that hits all the same qualities *except other insects that also suck blood.*

It's the precise combo of being able to "prey" on things millions of times larger and breed in nothing but a few drops of filthy rainwater or the moisture in a rotten log. That's the most efficient combination for anything that size to multiply that rapidly where nothing else can even survive, except of course the things that can move in because they eat them :)
