Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Or you could just not let dumb tourists into the national park
God forbid there be one place humans don't humanspread all over
I will die on this hill; The number of tourists killed by megafauna, even in the US, is very low and does not justify wildlife interventions beyond basic measures like securing trash bins and re-locating problem animals away from people. Public awareness campaigns like "DON'T GO IN TO THE WOODS ALONE EVERYONE WHO DIES IN THE WOODS DIED BECAUSE THEY WENT IN ALONE AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP THEM WHEN THEY GOT INJURED OR MAULED" are worthwhile and should be implemented.
Wolves can have little a tourist. As a treat.
I thought it was sus that there were wolves in Swamp Germany so I looked it up. 55 sq km. FIFTY FIVE SQUARE KILOMETERS. That's not even a tenth of the range needed for one family of wolves! The wolves aren't approaching people, they're penned up in someone's back garden! Wolves can have ranges of THOUSANDS OF SQUARE KM. There was a pack in Alaska that controlled SIX THOUSAND SQUARE KM.
Fucking hell. It's not a park it's a petting zoo! What the hell do they eat there's no way that garden plot can support a healthy ecosystem for wolves?!?!
trash i guess, like most animals that live near people? but yeah, far more people freeze to death each winter than die from wolves, but they for sure arent gonna do anything about that, are they?
