can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.
most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.

On the vulture grub signal ! Moon does point out that a good chunk of creatures are bio-engineered purposed organisms; while it has been a while since the ancients left, evolution is an incredibly slow process. I saw the grubs as being like living beacons to call vultures. Why ? Some people headcanon vultures were for pest control, seeing how they don't necessarily target slugcats, while I personally think they could have been used for transport ! Buying a worm to call your uber driver... Kinda how rain deer will be drawn to spore puffs.
Oh yeah I know that a lot of things have an evolutionary history grounded in specific goal-oriented genetic modification, its more that I personally like to view things from the unchecked evolutionary processes of an ecosystem that would encouraged to flush out traits that are no longer directly beneficial
Evolution is a long and slow process, but very being heavily-locked into behaviors that don't facilitate your own lifecycle is also a fast track to extinction. Even if historically the vultures and grubs were tied to together, from an ecological standpoint this relationship works best if both creatures benefit from it in a natural system. Otherwise from an evolutionary standpoint it would start to shift away from that behavior! Which isn't to say it's /not/ a behavior left over from purposed modification, just that the behavior would shifted and changed with time to be something that is more mutualistic and beneficial than just plain ol' "Trained to respond to the thing".
