I was thinking about how the buffalo were massacred today. I saw a post showing how big a skinned buffalo was when hanging. Thought about 3000 lbs of meat.
Now imagine 60 million of them; 5-10x more than there are Canada geese.
What a tremendous waste of food, a horrific crime against nature and an insane reduction in biomass. Wildlife biomass today is a fraction of what the herds alone accounted for
Yeah, I get the politics and genocide and all that. I get it. But the waste, the utter destruction of the ecosystem!
I could go on and on, too depressing. Since I was born 74% of the animals on the planet are gone. Just disappeared. Young people cannot grasp what they’ve been robbed of, the depth of the tragedy.
When I talk to other middle-aged guys, they’re shocked. “Remember when…?” Hell, even younger people are blown out when I ask, “Remember 5-years ago when…?”
I’ve seen the ecosystem crash on my fucking front porch in 5-years. Am I’m fighting like hell to being it back!
Anyway, saw a green tree frog for the first time in 4 years! 🎉

Unfortunately, back then, two and only two facts mattered:
There was land to be taken and profit to be made. The buffalo were just in the way.
Love the way you think. We should be friends.
