I’m not sure exactly why, but East Germany holds the exact same mental headspace to a specific type of communist as Rhodesia does to a very specific type of White nationalist.
@Xhatoid I’ve been trying so hard not to spend money on video games recently and playing my giant backlog of games that that I’ve never finished but every day I feel the temptation and this has made it worse than anything else has
The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters.
Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow.
Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations.
The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species.
The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west.
A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.
