BEYOND THE GALLOWS - ERADICATION [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO] (2025) SW EXCLUSIVE
BEYOND THE GALLOWS "ERADICATION" OUT NOW!
Day 2 of being harassed by what I assume is the exact same pigeon, just "has to be" on my doorstep at all costs apparently even though nothing at all there for it.. On the plus side I've found that butterflies LOVE peppermint oil as several have landed on the wall I've sprayed yesterday and today..
There's been a 10min break since I've seen the pigeon so far, it was coming back after being chased off every 1-2minutes over the last 2 hours..
Just so you know, peppermint oil does _NOT_ repel Australian pigeons, not in the slightest. I've now gone through an entire concentrated bottle in my sprayer, the most recent use was almost totally peppermint concentrate with a few drops of water.. nada.. The only thing buying peppermint oil to *get rid of pigeons* achieves is more money for the peppermint oil companies & a very smelly entranceway/balcony to the point of making the inside of your nose twitch.

“The kiwi, a… flightless bird from New Zealand, is disappearing, largely because of invasive species brought to the country’s islands by humans. So New Zealand has set a goal of exterminating rats, possums and other invasive animals that threaten the country’s biodiversity…”

Polio was nearly eradicated. Here’s why it’s making a comeback
The World Health Organization and partners embarked on their polio campaign in 1988 with the bold goal of eradication — a feat seen only once with smallpox in 1980.

@dubh When it's done right, people can make a huge difference to NZ's environment by spotting emergent weeds as they're beginning to establish.
My favourite recent example is Dave Holland's discovery in 2020 of wild black swallow-wort on the edge of the Timaru Botanic Gardens. That was the first wild record of the species anywhere in NZ, and it's a wetland weed overseas. Timaru Council and Environment Canterbury staff stepped in with control, over several years, and now it's gone.
That's one environmental weed nipped in the bud before it could get started.

The eradication of smallpox is one of humanity's greatest triumphs. An enlightening small documentary, which is a must-see for the current Minister of Health of the USA, Kennedy. Facts about the impact of vaccination he can learn from. Cows (Vaca) can save human lifes 😉

On the neocons all over again – Amir Tibon in Haaretz:
The experiment would ‘go something like this: American companies will begin operating in southern Gaza, under the supervision of the Israeli military, in a "humanitarian compound" surrounded by barbed wire. Two million Gazan citizens will be concentrated in this compound to get food and aid, while Israel will take over the rest of Gaza and use the pressure put on Gaza's population in order to topple the Hamas regime.’
(…)
‘If all this sounds familiar to you, that means you've probably lived through the Iraq War and the "happy" days of American contractors operating under military guidance in an attempt to "separate the local population from the terrorists" and replace the regime, but it's unclear with what exactly.’
(…)
‘Two decades later, they are promoting their Gaza plan in similar fashion – and so far, despite all the rage about the "neocons disrupting his agenda," the president seems to buy it.’

"They also had his copy of “History of the Negro Race, 1618-1880.” It was the first comprehensive history of African Americans from slavery through Reconstruction.
“It is an assault on Black folks’ humanity, their ethnic and cultural identity, and is downright inhumane,” Brown said.
“It’s erasing or trying to hide past, a Black history. And I think it shouldn’t be hidden or erased. I think it needs to be highlighted,” Williams said."
Le claptère aptère des cimes était, comme son nom l'indique, un volatile non-volant parce qu'il n'avait pas d'ailes. Il vivait dans les hautes montagnes, avec les marmottes et les bouquetins. Son grand bec lui permettait d'émettre un cri très puissant "CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAAAP CLAP !" qui effrayait les skieurs de fond. Pour cette raison, le SyNaSSCaF, le Syndicat National des Stations de Ski Calmes et Familiales, a fait procéder à son éradication totale.

Dogs are being unleashed on #KangarooIsland Dudley Peninsula to get rid of #feralcats, which kill native wildlife and spread diseases in sheep. They're the latest tool in one of the world's most ambitious and high tech feral cat eradication programs. Only a couple of hundred cats left it's hoped an attack on all fronts this year could almost wipe them out. #evasivespecies #eradication #SouthAustralia

"During the horror 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires, which tore across more than half of the island, destroying countless native animals and protected plant species, it's believed feral population #pig numbers were also reduced by an astonishing 90 per cent —an unexpected but welcomed outcome"
