Ka’ena Point is also a breeding ground for the Federally protected Laysan albatross, where 45 nests were being carefully monitored by the non-profit Pacific Rim Conservation. The oldest Laysan albatross was last seen raising a chick on Midway Atoll in 2016, at age 66. Who suffers for these crimes?

By weird things I don’t mean human weird things, like for example wasting their time in wild places looking for unusual feathered animals and ticking them off a list, but things that fall outside of their usual repertoire of normal behaviour. But no one told this young albatross that. And the hole looks fairly fresh.

That’s why I went for an albatross, because it wasn’t my BBOY, but it would at least tweak Corey. A lot of Asia’s storks are threatened by human activities. Honestly, I love albies and all, but they aren’t exactly rare down here. All you need is a boat, or a scope on a windy day.

There are are presently thought to be five species of kiwi with a possible sixth extinct species, all of which have suffered varying degrees of range contraction since the arrival of humans. The Bay of Islands is a very popular area for tourists, both those looking for natural history and for human history.

I know on some level, I think that’s something almost all of us can get behind…no one, except the most callous and cold-hearted of the human race things its fine to torture animals, or deny that they are capable of pain and suffering.

I think this ridiculously happy looking Laysan Albatross was as stoked as it appears. Non-human beings have traditionally thought of on a basically immoral level…they lack any intrinsic values, are incapable of thoughts and emotions, and are only worth how good of a coat they make or how good they taste. I believe in science.
