If other species had their equivalent of billionaires, like monkeys hoarding more bananas than they could eat and refusing to share, it would be used as clear evidence of human superiority to a primitive species. In the modern world such psychotic behaviours are celebrated.

Dire wolves are not back.
Pups created by gene editing grey wolves are not true dire wolves, say canid conservation experts. Recreating the Ice Age sounds exciting, but it won't save what's still wild. #Conservation #Biodiversity #GeneEditing #direwolf

Tamworth’s yearly revenue is £1.6m?
So unfair for the small clubs!😔

This change in approach has been informed by research led by Professor @RosieWoodroffe, who has been investigating the effectiveness of farmer-led badger vaccination for many years. zsl.org/news-and-events/news…
