During the construction of the transcontinental railroad, trains departing from Fort Hays, Kansas, would frequently encounter large herds of bison as they traveled westward. In response, the trains would either come to a halt or slow down to match the pace of these slow-moving creatures. At this point, the train windows would simultaneously open, and a barrage of bullets would be unleashed from the locomotive, resulting in the killing of the bison on the spot. Some passengers would even venture onto the train's roof for better aim. Regrettably, the majority of the bison carcasses were left to decay. By 1867, the Kansas-Pacific Railroad even promoted "hunting by rail" excursions.
However, this marked only the initial stage of the bison extermination process on the Great Plains, where their population once exceeded 30 million. As the 19th century drew to a close, the number of remaining bison in America had diminished to such an extent that the U.S. Army had to intervene to safeguard a herd of only 25 bison in Yellowstone National Park to prevent their extinction.
@progressvoice If you really need to focus, just having it out of sight and in another room will help. It’s a reflex so it helps more the further it is, or harder to get
@SSursom@CNN The ratio would probably be like 90% guys and 10% girls in there. So they charge for guys to be able to have access or perks. Like dating apps. It’s good for business and that is what a club is. It’s not a public pool.
@hubermanlab@elev808designs Do you think it’s a net positive or negative to allow the govt to add fluoride in water? Contaminated isn’t the word I would use if it’s purposeful and for public health purposes
“Thousands of ducks are herded into a pit to be buried alive, following an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza The growth of industrial farming brings with it increased densities of animals, and with that, zoonotic diseases. In recent years, millions, or perhaps now billions of animals have been killed ahead of schedule when a virus has been detected on a farm.”

@1776Jimmy@SBakerMD Lionesses hyenas wolves etc. hunt in packs because they’re are Not stronger than their prey. Cheetahs are fast but still only have a 40% success rate when hunting
@MsPabloSnackbar @NeilGinger @HutchensRS @SBakerMD Most of what I said is common sense, and it’s a lot, so I’m wondering what you have trouble understanding and then I can provide some information
@MsPabloSnackbar @NeilGinger @HutchensRS @SBakerMD a study that says that grazers graze and stand all day? While lions are always lying around, since they can eat 15% of their body weight at a time? That people get sick from eating raw meat? Or salmonella from eggs? That saturated in meat increases cholesterol?
@justintrouble22 @SBakerMD Good thing most people who are reading this with smartphones likely live in a modern society and don’t live off the land. Unlike when our ancestors lived off the land and lived to like 30
