Florida Wildlife Commission has refused to stop issuing permits for aquarium corporations to capture mantas and other marine megafauna.
massive public outcry, extensive rulemaking workshops, thousands of public comments, all for nothing

what's with this growing trend of representatives hopping on to advocate we kill endangered animals
Rep Ryan Zinke@RepRyanZinke
Last week, two grizzly bear attacks claimed the life of a hiker in Glacier National Park and seriously injured two others in Yellowstone National Park. These tragedies are a sobering reminder that grizzly bear populations have recovered well beyond sustainable levels, and it is past time for the federal government to delist them and give states the management tools they need to protect both people and wildlife. Delist the grizzly.

No one likes factory farming, so the meat industry sells the alternative idea of farming animals on pasture.
In the US, most cows start on pasture and end on a feedlot. But globally, most cows are grass-fed.
This is extremely land-intensive.
Here’s what that means in practice:

Man…no words.
"My dad got cancer and my mom's employer collapsed. The executives got paid and the workers got screwed. She didn't have the heart to tell us, even when the bank took the house. And when she took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket."

I don’t believe in capital punishment, but shredding every humanitarian/environmental/transparency law and looting half a billion dollars from hurricane disaster funds to build a racist torture camp in a National Wildlife Refuge should land you in front of a firing squad.

NYT: Florida intends to shut down a high-profile immigration detention center that it opened last summer in the Everglades, according to a federal official and three people familiar with the facility’s operations. nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/…

The oldest red snapper on record was 57. Today, 99% are killed before 15.
They once weighed as heavy as 50lbs. Today, average market size is 5.
The 2024 assessment estimates <30% of 1950s baselines.
We are dismantling decades of recovery for scorched earth nihilistic greed.

At our request, the federal government has given the state of Florida authority over Atlantic red snapper management. With a record 39-day Atlantic red snapper season this year, Florida is empowering our anglers, protecting our waters, and strengthening our coastal economy. And this is just the beginning.

Please help Socorro, NM.
This is a petition seeking to halt to the construction of one of the world's largest data centers, in between two wildlife preserves.

The insanity of fishing regulation is underrated.
This is what’s called “fully recovered” under NOAA’s doctrine of “sustainable fisheries management”.
Since Trump handed the keys to the states, DeSantis has tripled the length of the snapper season.

It seems that some people need to be reminded about when the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil convened to formally request consumers in industrialized nations boycott corporations driving deforestation and Amazonian genocide, specifically highlighting animal products.

The Trump appointee in charge of grazing policy owns at least 5 cattle operations that will directly benefit from the opening of federal lands to cattle grazing.
FactPost@factpostnews
The Trump administration is opening 24 million acres of protected federal land to cattle grazing. This will ravage the natural habitats of at-risk wildlife like wolves, grizzly bears, and salmon.

@ZaidJilani You can tell he’s sincere when he says “I’m absolutely opposed to aminal crooty.”

John Fetterman trying to explain why he thinks cultured meat should be banned.
I guess he couldn't just say he's corrupt and doing the work of Big AG and factory farmers, but man this guy is not well.
Rare W to Bill Maher for challenging him.

You guys love indigenous people unless they're the ones living in the forests being bulldozed so you can stuff your face with big macs

I have a Luke warm take: indigenous people around the world were and have been able to ethically consume meat for centuries. It is possible to eat meat and not ruin the ecosystem

@HarryMudd1974 lol What article?
Elon suppressed hyperlinks, so news pages don’t even link articles anymore.
Capital consolidation — that’s the cancer killing the US.

@Unpop_Science This shit right here is the cancer that's killing America, Bro. Had you read the article, rather than getting asshurt about the headline, you'd know the beaver was positive was positive for Rabies.

@KennyTorrella That’s why I don’t calling it misinformation. It makes it sound like people are being fooled, when they are more accurately being provided talking points for ideological positions they have predetermined commitments to.
English
I don't write about personal meat consumption that much, but when I do, I'm so disheartened by the widespread misinformation around animal ag. Since 2007, I've heard the same tired responses about crop deaths, plant sentience, affordability, land use, etc.

Florida is taking extreme measures to stop cities from passing shark fishing bans, announcing it will now consider them illegal, after nearly 20 years of respecting local regulations.
Meanwhile blatant shark poaching videos fill the internet & FWC refuses to enforce state laws.
