Greater capitalist assaults on wildlife.

Cyanide bombs:

” Imagine your child or dog running outside, exploring nature, only to accidentally trigger a hidden cyanide device designed to spray deadly poison. That terrifying scenario is now becoming more possible after the Trump administration reversed a ban on so-called “cyanide bombs” on public lands.
” These spring-loaded traps, known as M-44 devices, are meant to kill coyotes and other predators. But they are indiscriminate, dangerous, and capable of harming far more than their intended targets. But wildlife experts warn they don’t discriminate between a coyote, an endangered wolf, a family dog, or even a curious child. Experts have repeatedly warned that these traps poison wildlife, threaten endangered species, and put people, pets, and ecosystems at risk.” (Care 2)

The indians who were called savages by the white men knew the relationship between animals, human beings, the earth, and the ecosystem.

Indigenous communities maintain a profound, reciprocal relationship with the ecosystem, acting as environmental stewards for millennia. By utilizing Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), such as controlled burns and rotational harvesting, Native Americans actively shape healthy landscapes while protecting roughly 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity.

Native American ecological stewardship is rooted in several foundational concepts:
Interconnectedness: Indigenous cultures historically recognized that humans, animals, plants, and even geographic features form an interdependent web of survival.

The Seventh Generation Principle: Practiced by the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy), this philosophy mandates that the ecological and societal impacts of current decisions be carefully evaluated to ensure the well-being of descendants seven generations into the future.

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK): Rather than just adapting to nature, tribes actively shaped their environments using empirical knowledge. For example, California tribes like the Yurok and Karuk use prescribed, low-intensity controlled burns to clear brush, enhance biodiversity, and prevent catastrophic wildfires.

Current Global Impact: Despite making up a fraction of the population, Indigenous peoples manage roughly 20% of the world’s land, with their territories often outperforming government-managed protected areas in terms of ecological health and carbon capture

In California, a whole town had to be evacuated due to poisonous chemical leaks and a possible explosion. The profit system is killing human beings and animals, and we are still capitalist lovers
