Literally. The climate implications of the US military alone are apocalyptic.
They heard that the owls support Palestine
(The real reason is that barred owls are invasive and are pushing out the native owls. It’s still pretty sad though because it’s not the barred owls fault)
Oh no! I decided to use the barred owl as my mascot.
Thought your pfp was a Northern White-Faced Owl
Oh, my PFP is just whatever came out of Dall-e when I told it to make me a screaming owl.
I meant whenever I actually release a game and need an actual studio logo, the barred owl was the most obnoxiously loud owl I could find, so that’s what I was planning to use
I find it strange that we consider them invasive. If an animal flies from one part of the country to another and sets up shop, that seems like a pretty natural process that shouldn’t be interfered with to me (unless maybe a huge truckload of owls was brought out West which started the whole thing I guess).
Maybe it’s more about protecting an endangered owl than the actual invasiveness. Idk, sometimes natural processes fucking sucks. Anyway, humans are a part of nature so if we help out a struggling species, is that not a natural process?
sometimes natural processes fucking sucks.

New Front in the liberation struggle! Solidarity with the Owltariat.
The US sure loves their genocides. I’m hoping for a protracted owl war against the regime. Maybe Dirt_Owl can help set that in motion.
another amerikkkan genowlcide
what the fuck, what is the excuse for this

If they’re killing the invasive species, that’s actually a good call.

It’s not hard to properly identify an owl, and they typically hire really good people for that stuff. Source: my [relative] used to work for the forest service as an ornithologist.
Also: if they accidentally kill some non invasive birds by accident, that’s still less destructive than letting the invasive species crowd out the original ecosystem.
Thank god it’s not like some fish where half.the juvenile stages look the same.

This sounds like a betrayal equivalent to if Jane Goodall used her skills to help exterminate a tribe of gorillas
Do you know what the forest service does? They are a conservationist organization within the US government. It’s one of the most unambiguously positive parts of the government.
My relative would tag specimens of protected and endangered species of owls, note their locations, and then prevent loggers from destroying those habitats. [Relative] is a hippie environmentalist, and they literally would not have taken a job that harms animals.

Killing invasive species protects countless other species from extinction, so it has to be done. Those invasive species have their own habitat elsewhere, so they’re not threatened, and they have to go.
Of course the feds are in awe of comrade dirt_owl’s power. This is the only thing they know, violence. Dirt_owl if you need refuge this community has your back
Ty comrade
barred owls are OP and must be nerfed
@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net Might as well tag them.
Nobody should talk behind someone’s back, even as a joke.
They can turn their head 360 degrees so it’s not my fault.
It’s all your fault.
In fact, Adam and Eve? That was your fault too.
Aww Pluto, you’re so thoughtful
Yay!
This is a Futurama bit
Not beating the Poot allegations
What?
So like ther was this one time some mice got into some nuclear waste bags and consumed like Cobolt 60 contamination.
The the owls got a hold of the mice and the base personnel had to track down the owls because their poo was leaving radioactive waste all over.
Aren’t unpredictable consequences just awesome?
wut
no more half measures walter
So this has got to be barred owls, right?
