2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

It was your choice to camp there and potentially interrupt nature by shooting apex predators. Don't bring up the safety argument if you're going to do that
I've also had a black bear cruise in my dog door, presumably, according to the regional Fish & Wildlife guy, to eat my pet mini pig. Guess I have no business living on the edge of town?
Also, had to shoot a wild boar that was tearing into my property and terrifying my pet. How, pray tell, would you have dealt with that situation? And keep in mind, the civil authorities all told me, "Not our problem, we don't handle wild pigs, all on you."
So where exactly am I perfectly safe? In the white-bread suburbia where you live with your parents?
And if nothing else, gun laws always have been wildly racist in their origins and enforcement. Bet you're A-OK with all that! (Or more probably, don't know or care.)
You must be real proud of yourself with that one. I live in a rural area on a large property with wild animals, it is possible to hire people to deal with the threat posed by wild animals, forgoing the risk of having firearms in your house
And what tools do those people who deal with the threat use to deal with the threat?
