.@People_SA is my FAVOURITE magazine! 'Tis a publication not afraid to speak up for #animals. Wish I could give the editor a giant hug!

@EmbassyofRussia @mfa_russia @PMSimferopol @RusConsCapetown @mahasharampedi @SABCNews @ThabisoLehoko @MID_Kaliningrad @RusEmbEthiopia @georgegalloway @calebmaupin Screw you and your murderous leader. You do NOT have the support of the majority of South Africans. That much I can tell you for free.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

I find it absolutely UNBELIEVABLE that Twitter will cancel the accounts of scientists who go against the current health narrative, yet have zero issues with giving a platform to those wanting to normalise pedophilia. Dr. James Cantor PhD is a case in point.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@copenhaver_ae @EcoLitBooks It was MY pleasure interviewing YOU.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@GeorgeMonbiot @fulanivegan And you could just say, ''I have white privilege''.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern Well, YOU should. Because I already am.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern A black voice intimating your dismissal DOES NOT CHANGE whether you see the statement or not. The truth isn't going to change simply because you didn't see it. Don't gaslight. It's an ugly shade.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern Simply because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean the call isn't there. Maybe broaden your circle a bit and you will find them.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern You actually seeing the tweet has NO bearing on your dismissal of black voices. I wonder why a black voice blocked you when you're so gung-ho about inclusivity and equity? Doesn't that speak volumes?

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern The majority isn't always right and you know it. Discussing why we should be calling for the dismantling of the IUCN is WAY to long and complex for a Twitter discussion.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@knowmiun @AmyDickman4 @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern Yeah but what do you know, right? Anyone not brown rimming the IUCN are conspiracy theorists.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern Perhaps you would like to borrow our highlighter to highlight your own contradictions [i.e. believing in black voices but then dismissing them]? I have yellow, green and pink. Pick your shade of colonalist.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern The fact that you actually ASK that question after a black voice pointed it out to you, just confirms that you actually DON'T listen to black voices. Or did your degree not afford you fluency in sarcasm? https://t.co/WJx5Kf83dN

[Amy Dickman 🦁 @amydickman.bsky.social @AmyDickman4]

@fulanivegan Simply untrue that there is 'zero proof' of conservation benefits (see below). As for 'indigenous populations are against it', there is no singular view, as would be expected. Whether or not to use TH should be up to the countries & communities affected https://t.co/U1vtEEHg38

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@fulanivegan @GeorgeMonbiot The evidence also shows those who kill for the thrill and take trophies have SERIOUS psychopathies. Trophy hunting is for repressed serial killers who want to act out their fantasies legally.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@fulanivegan hey @GeorgeMonbiot - how about you as white colonialist, stop telling people of Africa how to run their environment. Stay in your lane and know your place. Please. Your white arrogance is nauseating and unwelcome. Your whiteness doesn't make you smart.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan @LeadersSouthern Yet Amy, YOU are one of those people dismissing African voices - as clearly demonstrated by this conversation and your responses to an African voice.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan PS - expertise can be bought.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan Conspiracy theory? Is that the best you can do? It's a stock standard retort for those who don't like other people disagreeing with them. I am not about to apologize for challenging your brainwashing. STAY IN YOUR LANE. GET IT GOT IT GOOD.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan If you were serious about conservation in any way, shape or form, here is something your degree wouldn't have taught you - LET INDIGENOUS PEOPLE LEAD THE WAY. The time of white saviourism has come and gone. Get with it.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan And Amy, if you think the IUCN is a beacon for conservation, then YOU are the problem, not indigenous BIPOCS whom you obviously consider to be uneducated. AGAIN - STAY IN YOUR LANE.

[Nikki Botha @NikkiBotha]

@AmyDickman4 @knowmiun @fulanivegan PULEASE. IUCN is to conversation what the WHO is to global health - another corrupt organisation upholding the interest of the elite. It needs to be dismantled. Thanks, but no thanks.
