  • Sorry mate, but any first year biology student learns that the higher up the food chain the more concentrated the heavy metals are. Take Tuna. As free range as you can get but it is advised to minimize consumption, particularly when pregnant, due to the high mercury content.

    While lifestyle does affect palatability of the meat (Bear near the dump always tastes ‘off’) it is more a question of ‘what’ is being bioaccumulated, not ‘if’. In your example scavengers are bioaccumulating pesticides and preservatives, whereas the successful predator accumulates all the heavy metals its prey, and their prey, and their prey (repeat until the bottom of the tree) consumed.

    You can’t get around it. All high level predators have shitty meat, whether it tastes bad or not.






















  • ;tldw Rightwing nutjob makes a video about some rich guy’s legal battle with New York bureaucracy. Woman fell on the sidewalk, sued the owner and city, and the city claimed not liable as it is dudes property. Property lines reinforce this so no schenanigans here. Dude builds a fence extending out onto sidewalk and street claiming it is his right as property owner and now the city wants to fine him for the fence (which it probably can due to public sidewalk accessibility laws).

    IMO this is the equivalent of other rich assholes doing shit like fencing to the water line on their property to prevent public access to a community beach.
