In the US, European starlings are one of the only creatures the government pretty much gives carte blanche to eliminate by any means at any time of year.

Mfw I see spotted lantern flies

They’ve recently reached my city, and I’ve killed 4 or 5 so far

I am allowed to smoosh the lantern flies and the horned tomato eaters. But I’m not allowed to smoosh the tomato eaters if it looks like they have eldritch horrors growing from them, cause that’s bad for them and good for us. Good is relative.

This meme went from
“Damn this autistic bitch” To “Eliminate with extreme prejudice” Very quickly

Where did it say autistic? why should an interest in animals indicate autism?

It’s inferred.
There’s a whole subset of people for whom that statement would be an expression of endearment.
I would more just assume some people have a playful relationship with their partners and the subject of neurodiversity.

Just had a moth inside, kinda annoying. Got a box to try to catch him but just so happened the next time I heard him fluttering about he was right by the door. So only had to open the door to and swish him out.
Moth friend is free!
I don’t kill things unless they deserve it… or if they taste good.
