World's Rarest Bird, Madagascar Pochard, Gets New Home (bbc.com)
The rarest bird in the world -- a species of duck called the Madagascar pochard -- has been given a new home in time for the new year. From a report: An international team of researchers released 21 of the birds at a lake in the north of Madagascar. It is a step towards the recovery of a species that just over a decade ago was thought to be extinct. Rescuing the species could also be a first step in protecting Madagascar's threatened wetlands. When it wasn't seen for 15 years, the Madagascar pochard was believed to have been wiped out completely. Then a tiny group of the birds was rediscovered in 2006 at one remote lake. These were the last 25 Madagascar pochards on the planet. Wetland habitats in the country have been so polluted and damaged that these few remaining birds had been forced into this last untouched area.
You got to be shitting me. Your president wants to spend 2 billion to build a god damn wall like we live in east germany, and you have the gall to say "at least it isn't my money". You know there was one time when republicans stood up and said "take down this wall" because they knew separating people was not a good thing. Now we have scared little children repubtards who own all the guns but still need daddy government to build them a wall so they feel safe at night. Fucking children.
Why is it when something is meant to preserve life, the repubtard is totally against it. But if it's something that is meant to harm others they don't like, hey money well spent.
Conservatards are the biggest hypocrites I've ever seen in my life. All those hoarded guns and talks of protecting your freedoms. Yet you are scared shitless of a thousand refugees? Fucking pitiful.
