I see the raccoon and all I think is this.

I snuck meds into cheese for my dog one time, and she is now forever suspicious of any and all cheese whether it’s cubed, shredded, sliced, whatever.
What a horrible way to live, to be suspicious of cheese
While i do think humans caring for nature is best done by not touching it, this is one thing humans can do for nature.
The notion that human beings are separate and apart from the natural world is colonialist nonsense.
Yes, but also no. In a very literal sense, human beings are animals, and our modification of the world is technically the same kind of thing as, like, a bird building a nest. But I think there is some utility in distinguishing between human activities and non-human activities. We are uniquely capable of altering the environment in ways that no other creature can.
Those poor raccoons. I don’t know what an autistic raccoon looks like, but these scientists should be ashamed of their… hmmm. I actually have no idea what the conspiracy behind animal vaccinations would be. Big science profiting just doesn’t fit right.
They’re turning the freaking racoons gray!
I used to work in veterinary medicine, and there are plenty of vaccine conspiracies in the pet owning community. They cause everything from seizures, to allergies, to autoimmune diseases, and more, according to some of these people. Breeders are a huge contributor to this, which leads to plenty of arguments with vets and pets running around unvaccinated.
It’s expensive to get litters of puppies vaccinated, and whackadoodle (I used “doodle” for a reason) theories are a great cover for why you are sending home a puppy with zero medical history outside of hand written worming dates. Unfortunately, it’s harder to educate people when it’s way cheaper to believe bullshit.
