I wish I could get the joy out of picking up an animal turd that Steve Irwin had. Every time I walk the dogs.
"Our wildlife"
It's not ours, just like the planet isn't.
it is the same thing as saying my community/our community/my class/my girl/boy friend/ my favourite cafe/my dad etc. Does not necessarily mean you own it, just a short hand way of expressing a more abstract form of relationship than physically owning something.
I miss Steve
But since we shape our own environment, we are guest and shouldn't be everywhere on the planet.
Fortunately, there's enormous swaths of the planet that are totally inhospitable to human life.
Unfortunately, we've managed to deposit all sorts of toxic waste from the depths of the ocean to the hottest corners of the desert to the peaks of mountains.
Evolution just needs to kick the rest of the animals into high gear and do some defcon 1 shit, like making seaguls venomous and thirsty for human blood, or inventing funnel-webbed Taipans that can fly and open doors. New airborne bacteria that feeds exclusively on the human optic nerve, and daffodil pollen that causes category 5 cytokine storms.
Level the fucking playing field.
Absolute Legend.
Rest in peace.
Love it to (your) death, Steve.
I wonder if he was vegan
Eating meat is very much a part of nature, if you're implying he would be a hypocrite for eating meat
Humanity’s ability to repair and control is far from being able to keep up with its destructive power
Everyone in here acting like farming and livestock hasn't been the cornerstone of human population since 400k years ago...
It hasn't. Livestock farming started about 10,000 years ago (give or take 1000 years), although this keeps getting refined with DNA studies and I'm not sure what the consensus is. But that also doesn't mean it's necessary in the modern era with modern agricultural practices.

Agriculture began in fits and starts, but the first permanent farms we knew of are even newer- taro farms in New Guinea about 9000 years ago.
Also, homo sapiens have only been around for less than 300,000 years.
10k years is longer than recorded history. That doesn't change anything that I said.
Thank you for the corrections though.
But it was not filmed.
Yeah, right. As if the Flintstones documentary wasn't on TV for multiple seasons.
