Humans, a really shit species

Just picked up a very informative book about sparrows. Apparently the communist party of China in1958 ordered that all sparrows were killed as they were "pests". The rural population set about the task in every way they could and hundreds of millions of sparrows were irradicated.
The following year harvests across China failed resulting in the Great Chinese famine of 1959 -61 with an estimated 25-40 million people starving to death. Hasty research showed that tree sparrows ate far more insect pests than grain, including locusts, whose numbers soared as a result of drastic reduction of their predators.
We humans can be so stupid.

And hence the well known song - " He's only a poor little sparrow".

Have you ever met a dolphin that was a Scouser or a rag? I highly doubt it! , therefore sir I suggest you should seek medical supervision as dolphins are definitely definitely not cunts
 
Its not the entire species, just a small subset within it that are driven by excessive greed and power.

In light of recent happenings nearer home at sea, plus all the wars kicking off at the moment, pollution, hunger/starvation, poverty, disease...we really are a shit species, we've ruined in a couple of hundred year or less....., what once was a pretty decent planet, it's going to be fucked shortly and hopefully we go first.


End of rant. As you were !!

Cane toads in Australia....bought in to eat beetle grubs and their population exploded. Trouble is they were so venemous they almost wiped out the indigenous species. Nature fought back.

I highly recommend The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn for further examples of Communist insanity.

Capybaras are pretty chill. Never nuked anyone or started a genocide as far as I'm aware

They can be very aggressive against capybaras from outside their herd.

I.e a bunch of racist football hooligans.

Also there's one dominant male at the centre of each group, much like humans.
