unlike ostriches,
we DO hide our heads in sand,
baking hopes and dreams.

“They held a natural cure for mankind but don’t worry CFIA took that also”

No they did not. Quite the opposite in fact.
The deed is finally done. Let's all move on.

“which they raise to produce medically valuable antibodies.”

Erm no. That is what they claim without any published research to support. And a claim that was thrown out in court because they failed to provide evidence.

Ostriches on B.C. farm temporarily spared from cull

Does it really make sense for the #CFIA to cull the ostriches now, regardless of whether the law gives them that right?

Dear Friends of seven swans, 🦞
Yesterday the seven #signets on #Tooting Common were still #swimming with their parents. #Daddy swan was with the #toughest/largest and the other six were with their #Ma. Will they all make it? Well #nature is tough. Swans are #delicious, like crispy duck no doubt to quite a few felons/predators. As a #commoner and #pleb they are not on my shopping list. ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​

A flock of swans flying sounds like a UFO or whatever they are called now. UAP? Crop Circus #Fakery? #Special #effects of the bird/third kind?

In the UK, only Q (Queen #Camel and guests) are allowed to eat the Royal #Mail, White Swans etc and provide a franchised product #endorsement. Fortnum & #Mason is their #delivery #nub.

Black swans are rarer and may be exempt from Regal #gnashers.

Some farmers in the UK are #rearing #ostriches but that is a #specialty.

Have a great day. Look around. #Sky, #Earth, #Nature. #Changes. ❤️

A Houston public school district will edit out chapters "about vaccines, human growth, diversity and climate change" from science textbooks.

Good idea. That will keep vaccines from killing people, keep kids from growing too much, keep the population homogeneous, and prove that climate change is a myth.

Here is another example of #smallart for those of you with wall space issues. I started a #meerkat series a long time ago and so far only have two in the series. I plan on adding some more real soon but this one cracks me up! #funny #art #ostriches #wildlife #cute #MastoArt #Fediverse
