      It reminded me that in elementary school, one of the people that "make sure kids don't bash each others with rocks outside during recess" brought her dog with her at work. It was known by the officials and everybody loved the dog because it was a dog and a Retriever.
      The amount of kids that needed to be told "Don't throw rocks at the dog or else the dog might be mad at you because *you* attacked the dog and after that the dog will get killed because *you attacked the dog* and it was defending itself."
      Basically drill in their head that they will be the reason the dog dies and everyone will hate them for it.
      Edit for clarification : I spoke in past tense of the dog because it was like 5-6yo, 15years ago. I am just assuming it passed away from old age at this point.

      And the town that capped Freya didn't even contact any zoologists, they just decided they didn't want to deal with her anymore, and one of the cops shot her. The main scientists that took care of Freya ended up learning when everyone else did.
      Freya wasn't killed because she trusted humans, she got killed because she got viewed as a nuisance.

    I grew up on a small farm with foxes living under our shed. Sometimes when our cat caught like 10 to 12 mice on a single day she would just let them lie around and the foxes would pick them up later. My dad insisted that foxes don't hunt too close to their home, and interestingly we lost a surprisingly low amount of chickens.
    A restaurant owner in the next town had a slightly less friendly agreement with a fox. The fox would regularly tear open the garbage bags, but if she left some treats out the fox would leave the bags alone. Basically she payed protection to the fox mafia

Every morning the crow would wait for her in her front yard, and then they would walk to school together.

She named him Nevermore and he had a goofy (and somewhat painful) way of showing affection: sitting on her head and pulling strands of her hair out of her ponytail. Well, turns out Nevermore started ignoring her after she married my oldest brother and moved out because he thought she abandoned him. Smart bird.

    Ngl Freya story kinda reminded me of Wally the Walrus that stayed in the Tenby Harbour in South West Wales. Although he didn't end up becoming a past tense his story is a little similar. With him arriving from somewhere up north (Newfoundland way I think) he swam to the British Isles from Scotland and then took up residence in South West Wales.
    For a pretty long time, he became quite a celebrity to the point where (like Freya) gained a following of locals and tourists gathering to him just to watch him be like any Walrus. He got that popular he basically became the towns new mascot, with his own merch being sold, from books to clothes and even poetry (I have seen this when I went to holiday there)😅
    However he did cause problems by resting directly by the Lifeguard boat ramp (they used a method of playing Polar bear noises to scare him off) and him chasing boats. He did eventually leave further to Spain before apparently heading back up north where he hasn't been seen since. Sorry for the long comment I just thought I'd share this as Freya kinda reminds me of Wally, albeit less tragic than what happened to poor Freya, thanks you, you are amazing👍

    More on Harpy eagles:
    Hunting them is extremely easy.
    Most of the time, the hardest part is to find them. Then all one has to do is point, shoot, and retrieve the corpse.
    That's why they're favorites among "hunters" because they can go back home, show the pictures to any clueless person they meet, and they'll immediately assume, based on looks alone, that some Dark Souls shit went down, that an epic battle happened and all.
    But it's not just hunters, there are also uneducated people in rural communities that hunt them because "Big bird, me scared" and then come up with excuses like "they attack children" or "they're hunting my pets", all based on nothing, all lies.
    This beautiful creature used to live all over my country, I should be able to see them flying around on the daily, but thanks to deforestation, trophy hunting and braindead people, I can only know of this magnificent beast via photos on the internet.

      @@togglemutt9892 I mean, when you hunt a bear, there's the risk the first shot won't kill it (like, if it hits a fatty area or something) which might give the bear enough time to fight back. There's a risk that you'll get killed by a bear, or lion when you hunt them.
      This risk does not exist with harpies, a shot pretty much anywhere will kill it, if it doesn't, the fall will.
      Also, most animals usually run away if they spot you first, a Harpy just stays put.
      Not saying you're wrong, armed hunting is indeed pretty easy, but hunting Harpies is the disability access version of hunting.

    Honestly once you've been to Tasmania and actually gone bushwalking and get to see just how much of the island is impenetrable woods, so dense that humans can't enter; you can understand how the Tasmanian tiger may not be extinct. Tasmania has a very small population for a large land mass, and unlike most of mainland Australia; it is cold, wet, and heavily wooded forest. I can imagine the Thylacine simply retreating into the dense woods far away from humans. Yes, there have been expeditions to try and find them; but these are incredibly expensive to sustain for any decent amount of time, given that people and supplies have to be dropped in via helicopter to attempt a prolonged search. It is very difficult to try and justify the funding for such a search in what amounts to a very expensive, very uncomfortable camping trip to try and find an animal that presumably doesn't want to be found

I love them all, the feral cats in my area play with them, hang out with them and occasionally hide and jump out on them which is hilarious and usually ends up with them taking turns of chasing each other around the gardens. I feel honoured to see these guys at night and my family of crows and flock of pigeons and other wild birds daily. They certainly made lockdown more bearable! My crow family already call on me to make sure I know they are outside and really like cat treats, cheese and nuts.

    When I was working in Yellowstone I was standing outside the shop talking to some of the guys waiting for my shift to start and this badger just walked by us with no fear at all.
    Tourists at the hotel had been feeding it and it had associated humans as a source of food. This was bad because the humans all go away in the winter, when food is hard to find. Also an animal like a badger can be quite dangerous to humans. This is an animal that will pick a fight with a grizzly bear and win. Imagine what an animal that can kick a grizzly bears ass could do to a person!
    So, NPS set up a live trap and transported the badger 50 miles away and let it go into the wilderness. The next night it was back.
    NPS set out another trap, planning to release the badger much farther away but badgers are smart, and he was not about to go into that trap again.
    In the end NPS had to put the badger down.
    Think about what you are doing if you feed an animal in the National Park. You are literally killing it. Because by feeding it you are showing it that humans are a source of food. When that happens, they expect all humans to provide food. Maybe they will become cranky of they don't get any and they might hurt the person.
    For this reason, the NPS can't allow these animals to stay near where people are. If they can't get the animal away from people they have to put it down.
    So, aside from the health reasons not to feed the animals, you may be killing the animal as effectively as if you smash its head with a hammer.
    Our National Parks are wild places. The animals that live in these parks survive without human intervention. And they do not survive with it.
    You don't need no stinking badger selfies. Leave these animals alone.

Which only makes them being hunted mainly for the belief they would prey on livestock even more tragic.

The biggest differences being 1) that ours was badly emaciated and weighed barely half of Freya; and 2) we tried to get the thing to our national Zoo Korkeasaari but the walrus never made it there. One of our national museums is currently preserving her bones and hide to put on an educational display and tracing her DNA to learn of her lineage and the enviroments she lived in.

    KPassionate, who is a marine biologist who works with marine mammals, did a video about this. You could see her simmering with rage about what happened with Freya, which isn't surprising considering that walruses are one of her favorites to work with.
    Like I said in a comment on KPassionate's video about Freya: we should start arresting and heavily fining people who harass wild animals. And if the idiot human gets hurt, arrest them the moment they get discharged from the hospital.

    Foxes may "mate for life", but they are far from monogamous. That being said, they're still better dads than about half the human race. Even when a male fox has multiple mates, he'll travel between dens to visit them all and stay with the family for a few days to play with his kids and care for them. Seeing how a vixen can have about a dozen dens to take her kids to, I think that's dedication for dad to not only track his family down, but multiple families down to make sure his kids are alright.

    What you left out, pertaining to the experiment in Russia involving the domestication of foxes was, it started with the fur farmers. They would breed and raise foxes in enclosures for the purpose of selling their fur. They started noticing that although a lot of the foxes would remain feral with their wild instincts, some would show great interest in their feeders. They would get excited and would show signs that they were happy to see the person who was feeding them. They got the idea to see if these reactions were a genetic trait, and decided to see if domestication was possible. So they started breeding the friendly foxes with other friendly foxes to hopefully get more friendly foxes. Turns out that it was a genetic trait, seeing as how their offspring showed the same lack of fear like their parents. The only care they gave these animals was feeding them, and gave them no real social interaction for the first couple of generations to make sure that these behaviors weren't because of their treatment. Turns out, they just had a genetic disposition over the other foxes that would just snap and stay at the other side of their small enclosures. Generations of breeding these friendly foxes has now brought up other mutations in our now domesticated foxes. The biggest of which is color variations in their fur that would not be useful in a wild environment. This was all done to try to gain a better understanding of domesticated wolves, a.k.a. dogs, and why we have dogs, and still have wild wolves.

    We claim to be a country with beautiful nature and and exciting, good wildlife, but it seems the government will do ANYTHING to make sure that is not the case, at least regarding the animals.

    Every few years wolves in Yellowstone get euthanized for trusting people. Sometimes it's because the wolves grew up near people, but that usually results in them simply not being horribly afraid of being within 100 yards of people, or they aren't very afraid at all but can be easily turned to being afraid of people. The majority of wolves that aren't afraid of people that get euthanized aren't afraid because people FED THEM and they couldn't resist going back. None of these wolves ever hurt people
    Also a wolf once stole someone's tripod back in 2020 or 2019 and as far as I know he's still alive
    Edit: Holy spaghetti this is a lot more popular than I remember

      I've heard about this. The wolf population gets murked, the deer population explodes, the landscape itself starts breaking down from overgrazing, and wolves are reintroduced to fix the issue. And repeat forever.

      @@Chubbasaurus This is kind of different. I'm not talking about the wolves being hunted; that's a whole other can of worms. I'm talking about wolves being euthanized because people feed them and they trust them.
      I don't blame the park rangers and such for euthanizing wolves, because of multiple things. They always start with scaring the wolves into being afraid of people so they don't possibly hurt someone or trust people when they leave Yellowstone and get killed. Also, wolves can hurt people, and more often steal things from people. No wolf has ever attacked anyone in Yellowstone but that's because they never let the wolf get to that point. Plus, it's a lot better for a wolf to be euthanized peacefully than shot and left to die or be made into someone's trophy, which is what could happen if a wolf was around people if they left Yellowstone.
      I blame the people throwing food at the wolves and making them comfortable.
      On another similar note, a wolf pup once died because of people. A wolf pack had a rendezvous site (a place where wolf packs move puppies after they get too big for the den) in Lamar Valley that was about a mile from the road. A few people started walking towards the rendezvous site. The pack quickly moved to another rendezvous up in the mountains. This wolf pack had moved other puppies to this rendezvous site before, but usually a few puppies at a time. A wolf puppy was separated from the group, and started to wander, probably making it hard for the pack to find him. He was never seen again after that, and he likely starved or was killed by an animal. All because some idiots weren't happy with their view.
      That's all I have to say right now, there are plenty other times wolves have been screwed over by people in the last 27 years in Yellowstone specifically but this is some of the more related stuff

      The wolf population in Yellowstone is only about 100. Probably less now that they were taken off of the endangered species list and are being legally hunted again.
      I don’t recall ever hearing anything about a wolf being killed for the reasons you stated.
      Wolves are notoriously shy of people and avoid them.
      I guess it’s possible that an unhealthy wolf could become habituated to humans in order to secure an easy predictable food source, but I think that scenario would be very, very rare.
      Stories, or videos, about black bears in neighborhoods pop up occasionally and usually get broadly covered. I would imagine an event like you describe, especially as wolves just came of the endangered species list, would be much bigger news.
      Maybe it was and I just missed it. I guess that’s possible.

      @@4strokes I was curious and decided to do some googling on the subject, and while I agree that wolves aren't being killed specifically because they got comfortable around humans, they are still being overhunted at an alarming rate for scientists and conversationists. And the reason for them being overhunted is just as garbage as the ones mentioned in the video: it's all for the sake of sticking it to the libs. Republicans are refusing to follow the advice of scientists and other experts in the field purely for the sake of 'defying liberals' (and basic common sense). There are even stories of people killing wolves just to use their corpses to flank a "Trump Pence 2020" banner for a facebook photo. It's a different kind of human bullshit, but it's definitely still human bullshit.

    Not long ago a walrus ended up in southern Finland, which if you look at the map isn't that easy to do. It ended up dead during a transport to a wildlife hospital that operates at a zoo. Now it's being conserved for public display at the Finnish Museum of Natural History. There has also been a sighting of a big whale near Finnish archipelago, but hasn't been seen again so it either realized there's not enough food for it in that pond and left, or it was too sick and died.
