Absolutely disgusting. I am continually reminded of how few shits are given about animal life.
To any Swiss folks reading this, please contact your elected leaders right away before something heartbreaking is done.

A Swiss canton has applied for permission to kill 4 wolf packs in a misguided attempt to prevent livestock attacks. They also want to kill wolf pups.
Parliament approved a hunting law in 2022 that allows ppl to kill wolves before they attack livestock.

This was a lot of fun to do!
I used a stencil carefully cut and and adjusted to conform to the curbed surface, and then etched to go almost but not quite all the way through.
Awooo!!

@Whiteayote Excitingly, tails - at least neurally integrated mechanical ones - are some of the first things we'll probably see! We're actually actively working on that in parallel with the more hardcore biological research we do.
@NiallPyro (2/2) We have several scientists with PhDs working together. I'm a biochemist graduating with my PhD in a few months, and I've performed our first wet lab experiments on the Wnt pathway, which controls hair follicle growth - a necessary step in convincing skin to grow fur. ^;..;^

Age 8: "Being a werewolf would feel awesome!"
Age 11: "Being a werewolf would solve my problems."
Age 12: "Being a werewolf would be the real me."
Age 14: "I Iong for this, but it feels hopeless, I give up"
Age 20: "Wait a second, the science is almost there..."
@IsaacG_2002 @Yoteperson That is true, and it's why we've assembled a team of scientists to get started! Transformational biotechnology is possible with present technology, but requires significant R&D. It's not something you'll see in 2024, but it *is* something you could see in the late 2030's~

Age 27: "Woah, there's a foundation dedicated to transformation research! This is possible?!?!"
Age 28: "I feel driven to use my skills as a biochemist to make this happen." (elected to FFF board this year)
@Marksnow1332363@FairplayDesigns@HamiltonPolice That's some next-level mental gymnastics. It must suck to make your whole personality about disparaging minorities while deceptively moving goalposts.
Thank you for having the decency and courage to face the issue head-on.
The rise in anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment in this country is disturbing, and we need to stamp it out.
#TransRightsAreHumanRights
Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country โ you are valid and you are valued.
@FairplayDesigns@HamiltonPolice Glad to hear it. It seems this is usually the case, and the bigots are mostly just a small group of angry people who aspire to exert control over others.
Said bigots are going to have a hard time existing in the modern world where common decency is a basic fucking expectation.
@HamiltonPolice People campaigning against trans rights are not "protesters" - they are criminals professing the worst kind of hate speech, and that is illegal in this country. Arrest them.

Hamilton Police have deployed the Public Order Unit due to escalating behaviour between two groups of protestors.
Upper Wentworth in #HamOnt has been shut down for public safety.
Police remain on scene and continue to monitor the situation.
Traffic will be affected, so please select alternate routes.
I have a hard time stomaching the opening of an app labelled X and run by our favourite criminal billionaire, Felon Muskrat, so I've finally made the jump to a certain alternative!
