When your learning about the evil chemical anhydrous ammonia (UN number: 1005) concocted in the pits of hell by satan himself that will suck the mosture out everything until it dissipates and if it gets on you it'll suck the mosture out of your skin and then turn acidic and burn you and if you breath it in it'll DESTROY your lungs and it can incapacitate someone in a matter of seconds (we watched a video) and it's also used in meth; and you ask your instructor what it's used for and why tf people have it and transport it and he says it's used as fertilizer:

I'm so proud of my school

I was walking through the dining hall today and overheard a group of kids standing around our new green "food waste compost" bins.

One said to the rest, "Wow they got new compost bins finally, that's so bomb!" to which the rest replied with "I know right?" and "That's awesome!" and "I'm glad Pitt cares about the environment."

One replied back "Why does that matter? It seems like a waste of space."

As I walked away I heard his friends reply in a joking manner "You seem like a waste of space!" and proceed to go into explaining why it mattered to them.

You go, random group of students.

So was looking up some archery stuff, and discovered some things about Hunting regulations.

Primarily that if you’re in a state that actually gives a fuck about wildlife? These licenses and regulations aren’t some sort of “go kill all the animals” but instead attempts to not only keep hunters from overdoing it, but to make it more fair.

Which I like. I like that the hunting regulations are going, “Yes, you can hunt, but let’s cut down on the amount of advantages you have, okay?”

Framed the right way, it’s just extra challenges. Things to make it more interesting. Oh, you’re using a bow, okay you have a longer time frame to hunt since it’s more difficult. You have a gun? Yeah, wait a couple months.

They also have certain regulations for not only ammo, but also bow draw strength to ensure the animal dies swiftly and doesn’t suffer.

There’s also population control hunting, which given what we’ve done to wolves, is actually really important. Too many deer will actually ruin an ecosystem due to the amount of vegetation they eat. So having people able and willing to hunt them? Actually important. And there’s regulations for that too!

So yeah, in places that aren’t horrible to wildlife, hunting regulations aren’t some boogieman, but actually a bunch of regulations designed to make things more fair to animals, with minimal suffering. And that’s good.

Yes, most people will never need to hunt for food.

But.

We also need to acknowledge that until we can restore equilibrium in habitats, there’s a lot of population control that needs to be done. Especially of invasive species. Or of sick animals. Since we kinda took all the predators out of the habitat. Yes, dropping in the right predators would be best, but there’s a lot of reasons we can’t just do that in all situations in all areas. So until then? People who have trained to kill animals in an ethical & swift manner it is.
