Maybe this can be viewed through the context of all types of restaurants closing and the issues in SF? I find it expensive to eat at Veggie Grill these days.

Re: Wildlife Services has outstayed its welcome
???? Somebody back in the day thought it would be a good idea to have the State regulate and manage agriculture and wildlife. Now, decades later, we're once again dealing with the unintended consequences of misguided government intervention. Both Wildlife Services and the Department of Agriculture should be abolished. If government has any legitimate role, it is to protect life, liberty, and justly acquired property. When it tries to stick its hands in everything, waste, fraud, abuse, and unintended negative consequences are the norm.

Exploring how our food system impacts wildlife, communities and the environment.
Issue 39 | September 2024
|
|
|
In Northern California, just a few counties away from where I live, biologists recently released beavers into the wild for the first time in nearly 75 years. These critters are critically important as nature¡¯s engineers. Beavers transform ecosystems, building wetlands that provide wildfire breaks and rich natural habitat for countless other species, while also improving water quality. Yet , a unit of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is killing them by the tens of thousands.
?
A 2022 study about called beaver restoration ¡°a cost-effective means¡± of repairing wetlands that provide homes for nearly three-quarters of wild animals in the United States. While scientists are calling for habitat restoration, Wildlife Services kills wildlife on our dime, largely on behalf of meat producers.
?
You see, Northern California is well known for its outdoor spaces, public lands, and natural beauty. But it¡¯s also known for its agriculture. And it¡¯s not just grapes and apples grown here. It¡¯s beef, chicken, and eggs, too.
?
On this beautiful landscape, factory farms and industrial agricultural sheds are an eyesore and local pollutant. In the grocery store, producers market their wares as locally grown meat and dairy. As a result of their presence, these hills blessed with coastal fog and ancient redwoods are besieged by powerful ag lobbies that contract with the Wildlife Services program to kill the coyotes, mountain lions, bears, foxes, birds, and other native wildlife who they perceive as a threat to livestock production.
?
In 2023 the program killed across the country, including 305 gray wolves, 68,562 coyotes, 430 black bears, 235 mountain lions, 469 bobcats, 2,122 red and gray foxes, 5,054 black-tailed prairie dogs, and hundreds of owls, otters and osprey, along with tens of thousands of other birds and wildlife. It also killed 24,603 native beavers.
?
When I testified against Wildlife Services programs at a local board of supervisors meeting, the ag lobby derided us. Even with sound logic, evidenced-based science, and the rights of communities to native wildlife, they dismissed the value of bears and coyotes and lions, relying on fear-mongering mythologies of carnivores as villains that prey on children at bus stops.
?
But the reality is that agricultural destruction of ecosystems, predator-prey balance, and watershed pollution is the real threat, not scary stories about the big bad wolf.
?
Many food producers, including some meat producers, delight in the wildlife they share the land with. And they¡¯re as outraged as we are about Wildlife Services. That¡¯s why counties neighboring mine have . It can be done.
?
It¡¯s well past time for the rest of the country to walk away from Wildlife Services too. The agency in charge of agriculture should not also oversee wildlife management. It¡¯s a conflict of interest, at least until we shift our framework of how to build policies that support a just, sustainable food system. Instead, policies encourage overproduction at the expense of people and wildlife, and the average American eats three times as much meat and dairy and four times as much beef as the rest of the world. That¡¯s not sustainable, and neither is the wildlife killing on behalf of those industries.
?
Given the wildlife and habitat destruction inherent to current meat production practices, the USDA should be working on a just transition away from meat and dairy overproduction.
?
Healthy wild ecosystems will never require the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of native wild animals, but they do require changes in western ranching and a reimagining of the American diet. ?
?
How You Can Help
- Ask your county supervisors to end contracts with or agree not to contract with the Wildlife Services killing program in your area.
- Build support for nonlethal wildlife coexistence in your area through gardening groups, at farmer¡¯s markets and city and county policy meetings, and among farming communities.
For the wild,

?art?
"Alfredo Meschi is an animal rights activist, artist and living artwork, who decided to tattoo on his body 40,000 Xs to represent the animals that humans kill, every second, for their palate. He then started tattooing (less) Xs on everyone who wants to join him in what has become a wider work, and a movement itself."

?restaurant dish?
"Probably my favourite dish ever (after pizza, of course), these rough, handmade spaghettoni (thick noodles) are covered and floating in a dense, dark brown sauce made out of peanuts, sesame, garlic, ginger, soy, chili, Sichuan pepper and probably happiness itself."

"It was 2020 when I discovered what would eventually become my signature recipe: the best vegan ramen EVER.

Re: From Ctr for Biological Diversity: Let's elect climate champion Kamala Harris
Such wonderful choices we have. Either an Anti-animal rights, slavery supporting animal hater vice president who supports murdering other species cause they look different then ugly humans or a rape supporting, anti-woman's rights wannabe dictator. Neither Republican party nor Democratic party support getting slaughter houses out of Point Reyes and let the Tule Elk roam freely on their own land and neither party is against Horse racing, I mean horse killing. Also why did both parties release over 100,000 balloons at their political party, I thought all the garbage and pollution and climate effects from this one act alone of letting this many balloons off would be a good item to not support.

Harris has the potential to be a transformational leader and true environmental champion during the most critical time in our history, when time is desperately short to end the extinction crisis and avert climate catastrophe. Her record as California attorney general, U.S. senator and vice president, her environmental platform in the 2020 presidential primary, and our conversations with her team make clear that Harris understands the gravity of the environmental problems we face and will rise to the challenge with bold action.
?
A second Trump term would be an unmitigated catastrophe ¡ª much worse than the first. He¡¯s promised to ¡°drill, drill, drill¡± for oil everywhere on our precious public lands and destroy international agreements to thwart global warming. Following the Project 2025 manifesto, he¡¯ll strip life-or-death protections from gray wolves, grizzly bears, salmon and countless other endangered species. He¡¯ll roll back regulations banning wealthy trophy hunters from massacring elephants, lions, leopards and other wildlife around the world and importing their heads and skins back to the United States. He¡¯ll unleash corporations to pollute our air and water with pesticides and chemical waste.
? Trump will escalate the war on women¡¯s right to choose when and if to have children. Access to contraception will be cut. Victims of rape, no matter how young, will be forced to bear the children of their rapists. Women will die from lack of access to medical care. ?
American rights, freedoms and expectations of fair, nonpartisan courts were torn apart more rapidly and fully than anyone imagined by Trump¡¯s first-term judicial and Supreme Court appointments. A second term will install dozens more partisan federal judges, end the budding movement to reform the Supreme Court, and increase the Court¡¯s power by weaponizing it and aligning it with the Department of Justice. It may also result in even more Trump-appointed justices.
?
To be sure, Harris is not perfect. No presidential candidate has ever been or will be. We will undoubtedly have policy disagreements with her administration, just as we¡¯ve had with every Democratic president. But we fatally misconstrue the purpose of elections when we treat them as ideological purity tests of the candidates¡or of ourselves. ?
When we vote, we vote for the wildlife that will live or die depending on the outcome of this election. We vote for the women and girls whose fundamental rights are at stake. We vote for poor communities and communities of color that will suffer more pollution, loss of healthcare, loss of education equality, and even loss of voting rights if the wrong candidate wins. We don¡¯t vote to preserve the imagined perfection of our personal consciences.
? Our work in the coming months will be to promote Kamala Harris, whom we wholeheartedly endorse for president of the United States, and to educate those who may be inclined to sit out the election. ? Sincerely, |
