I’m sorry, that’s totally fair, I don’t mean to sound dickish. They can’t hit zero. Australia is a model for how bad invasive cats can get, and the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak. They either target aggressive goals, which are primarily culling mixed with chemical and some limited physical spay/neutering programs. But when you are talking bang for buck, it’s really easy to look to culling primarily.

Spay nueter programs are much more expensive and usually donor funded. You gotta do a lot to an animal to even modestly safely remove it’s sex organs, especially females. I wouldn’t be surprised if they pop up in NZ, privately funded, in addition to the other programs. Desexing is still is the best way to deal with an active colony with a food source, you are right.

That’s when you are trying to control the population. These are invasive species, worse than that, invasive predators. Eradication and control are two different things.

Neither of those solves the problem entirely, but an eradication aims to keep the population of invasive species much lower than control. Any amount of invasive predators, especially as effective as feral cats, needs to be controlled.

Feral cats and pet cats are just two different things, like feral pigs and wild pigs. Even pet cats need to be tightly controlled, every bird a pet cat kills is multiplied in aggregate, these things we love are absolutely brutal.

Wow, this is significantly better than the notification I got on this:

Right, this is a bit too little too late. I’m glad they’re approaching the correct stance, but damn where we’re you.

Lmao, ok tough guy.

“In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories:”

Yes, crime dramas are good, I also watch them! SVU brought the angry guy back, he’s bald now tho.

Chris Rock is awesome, they hired him to be hilarious and he was. In no world is Will’s 2nd reaction to the funny but lightly tasteless joke (man if they had waited to respond after the Oscar’s, they would have eviscerated Chris Rock instead) appropriate. Again it was another performance, and you fell for it cause somehow you are putting both their actions on the same playing field. They aren’t, no majority of people think that way either. Again that’s why Will is going through this, he is the villain.

Also you need to stop watching TV and movies, police and the DA have the ultimate authority to press charges in the US and they do it all the time. The law isn’t not-broken cause one party didn’t press charges. That’s honestly kinda adorable. The reason he didn’t get arrested is cause he’s more rich and famous than the guy he hit, and arresting him would have been more embarrassing for the event in the moment than doing nothing. As Chris Rock once said “If OJ drove a bus, he’d be Orenthal the bus driving murderer.” A normal person would have received legal consequences.

You are telling on yourself, majority of weirdos have odd opinions on violence!

Will laughed at the joke just as hard as everyone else, looked back at Jada glaring at him and decided to do a bit of performative violence.

He did that as an apology for laughing, he did that because he thought that’s what Jada wanted in that moment. If some asshole does that in a bar, they get the cops called on them. The whole action was not only cringe, it was as much of an act as his entire bullshit speech when they actually let him accept an award later.

The Oscar’s should have stopped the show and had the police escort him out. Instead they awarded him later. Chris Rock made him look like such a bitch in his tour a few years later, it was beautiful. That man acted appropriately, and got his back later.

I can’t imagine looking at this action in the whole and seeing any justification. Which is why he’s finding a come back so hard.

Ya’ll tell on yourselves too much when you say things like “most.”

It’s such a silly and disingenuous argument. The most recent version of gerrymandering arguably began with REDMAP in 2010, which was in response to Obama winning. Before that, it was used almost exclusively to disenfranchise black voters before the voting rights act in 1965. Before that, it was used by both parties in unison to maintain the supremacy of incumbents.

The American system adopted it from across the pond. Rotten and pocket burroughs were frequent in the 18th century and actually started getting outlawed in the 19th century right when the Jeffersonian republicans went hard with it.

The Jeffersonian republican/democratic republican is the father of both major parties, it split into the northern republicans (anti- slavery) and southern democrats (mostly pro-slavery).

Neither of those parties resemble the modern parties, which flipped ideologies during the Civil Rights Movement, among their most recent changes.

So, it would be safer to say that American gerrymandering was created by the precursor to both modern parties.

Shit, how about every Asian during covid for a recent example.

Naw, just move them into publicly traded military contractors not named Boeing. You’ll be making money like its crypto and you’re on the inside.

Jesus, if british comedy didn’t exist, people would think English is just for joyless, shitty, jerks

Neither, they’re giving an anecdotal example of the effects of what I previously noted.

Germany took in a ton of refugees (migrants is the wrong word), some percentage of which have has extreme trouble moving into a very different culture, it was a huge culture shock for everyone and it had led to problems inside the country that are fueling this hatred.

Not fucking rocket science.
