Public records about North Cork Creameries - a company that's a "leading supplier of butter to the internationally renowned Kerrygold brand" - paint a disquieting picture of how regulators are performing

@Moviddy I think plenty of people wouldn't be able to tell you what a pied wagtail is -- myself included until a few years ago. As (modern) humans we just often don't see things going on in nature, even if they are right in front of our eyes.

@KennysBookshop So very sorry to hear that. My condolences to her family and friends.

Great round up as always from @think_or_swim including wolves, badgers and climate collapse

@catlowry54 I volunteer at the rescue and she was a happy girl munching away this morning. She is a sweetheart,, thanks for getting her out of a bad situation.

@BryanVanNorden Appreciate the share.

@vioreldpopescu @EU_Commission @hwctf The original title was "wolves have a people problem," (didn't make the final cut) but yes, your suggestion is spot on too!

[Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway]

"wolves have just as much a right to be here as we do"

Wonderful piece that gets to the heart of the debate around wolves (and, by extension, the biodiversity crisis), from @noraw_1

@JonnyStuteley1 Thanks Jonny :)

[Nora Ward @noraw_1]

@outdoorspodcast Point taken! And it’s also definitely the case that no one study could capture the complexity of the issue and peoples (evolving) views on it

[Nora Ward @noraw_1]

Thanks to the Conversation for letting me write about deep ecology and wolves -

@ConversationUK @galwayCASSCS @UniOfGalwayPhil and maybe especially important to think about the philosophical values behind rewilding in light of yesterday's EU commission proposal on wolves @whittledaway @ArielBrunner @RewildingIre

[Ariel Brunner🇺🇦 #Xdissenter @ArielBrunner]

A populistic and wrong measure.
Hunting wolves blows up the social structure of wolf packs. It is more likely to increase predation on livestock than decrease it. Unless done at levels that eradicate wolf populations. Damage to ecological balance almost guaranteed.

Looking forward to meeting the primary school thinkers who came to campus last year and had philosophers and artists visiting them to create this publication @eavanod @MichelaDianetti @uniofgalway

@coolydoody @RositaSweetman @IrishRainforest I am not trying to make that point, but simply saying that things are complicated in nature and definitions are fluid and at least we need self awareness and openness when approaching these issues.

[Nora Ward @noraw_1]

@coolydoody @RositaSweetman @IrishRainforest Red deer and sika can also interbreed and produce fertile offspring, so under the argument that humans are not invasive because they interbred with Neanderthals the same point could be used to argue that sika are not invasive.
