Meet The Man Who Shoots At Birds All Day To Keep Them Off A Toxic Pit | World Wide Waste 

okok

Stop with the lies there is NO climate change. Anyone with half a brain can google images of any city a hundred years ago and now comparing and seeing NO rise at all in sea levels. You guys just want to take away our human rights to force us to limit our water use, banning humans in forests, and forcing us to eat corporation soylent green ie plant based meats. The green movement is hijacked and have these large youtube influencers to push propaganda lies.

no

Great Episode ! This focus and decade long struggle, how it evolved, but of course the rifle way is still there, all techniques used as needed- birds personality, and the only two time used big 'um. This is such a juicy chunk of some sweet stewardness in the heart of mankind.

Cover the lake with floating solarcells. bit by bit. Ask for money from people like Gates etc.

@@meowwaffles6040 But its stupid AF - they should sue the company, close this shit and its fine bruh - i mean that stuff also happens to the ground water so wtf

Instead of making the mining company to clean the mess they created, someone spend millions to scare birds. Weird.

@@georgisimeonov243 well it’s a bit difficult to clean up something this large.

Wonder why these idiots dont just put a layer of nets over the lake

@@aaaaaaa4821 I can see the reasoning but I think with how large the lake is, it would make it impractical. Also I think the birds would have the ability to actually chill on the nets but they would, 1. rather find a way to the waters edge and 2. Probably have a high likely hood of getting caught in them.

LOL!

Aaaa aaa Exactly!

🤣

was the "person" who told you this story a goose, perhaps? Sounds like classic goose trickery

Dang now we need goose poop water instead of this filtered crap

The microbiome is one of the most important things to helping the environment, and people often don't recognize its significance. If you'll recall the BP oil spill... well, the main way that was cleaned up was not by siphons or solvents, but by dumping tons and tons of nitrate fertilizer into the waters. This helped blossom up the microbes, which would eat and process the crude oil.

The person worked for the Environmental Protection Division of the State it happened it. It was probably about 30 plus years ago. No. I'm not making this up. She's legit. Maga Nerd. She would not make up the story. Believe it if you want. I believed her, as she wasn't trying to BS me, just part of a conversation we were having about another topic.

Baaahahaha, I see what you did there 🤣🤣

You are pretty smart fella aren't you

you would think it would be cheaper to put a whole net over the area?

They can’t fill it in because it’s flowing ground water. Plugging it would cause a pressure imbalance which could theoretically cause a sinkhole and make shit a lot worse. Not to mention the millions it would cost to drain it and it’s not like you can just dump it because it’s toxic water so you’d have to safely get rid of millions of gallons of water… That is expensive and not easy. I know retards like yourself like to get angry at things you can’t comprehend but it’s not healthy.

The job market in Montana is horrible so even if a permanent solution was cheaper I think MT government and voters would still vote to keep these jobs funded. That’s just how people are up here.

@@mixeddrinks8100 A net over a mile wide lake? Yeah....no. And all that would happen is birds would start nesting on the net, which wouldn't exactly solve the problem, and eventually the net would degrade, then you'd have even more pollution from the giant net needing replaced. You'd also need to have pillars installed all over the lake to support the net over the water, with enough room to get out there under it to do maintenance. And we're talking a mile wide. We're talking about a whole skyscraper worth of materials and construction needed. Those bullets might cost a couple of dollars a pop. Maybe they fire it 5000 times a year....over 20 years, that's still vasty cheaper than a net or anything else.

There's a couple things you don't know. First - jobs in Butts are almost impossible to find. Most ppl I know that live there have remote jobs. Second - Berkeley Pit for better and for worse has been used in areas of studies for years - thankfully it's very rare to find a lake this messed up. Thirdly - this is groundwater that's been contaminated. It would be almost impossible to drain with how much water passes through there and if it was just filled, the groundwater would disperse. That is a very good question and there are some resources out there if you are interested in further research!

Bro fr, I wish I could have a job like that 😔

thats funny

@@Semi_Successful Well you gotta do what you gotta do for money. Doesn't have to mean he really cares about birds.

@@Semi_Successful Hunters contribute between 1.5-2 billion dollars a year to conserving wildlife and habitat. They also volunteer their time and labor to maintain local state parks and lakes keeping them beautiful and clean for wildlife and future generations. Far and away more than any other demographic. The fact that we have an intact suite of megafauna can almost solely be attributed to recreational hunters. For the most part outdoorsman understand, and care far more about deer, birds, and fish than city dwelling hippies who don't interact with or see wildlife other than to drive through Estes Park to see elk from their car. If you actually care about wildlife you should be ecstatic about hunters and hunting. Just the facts.

@@Semi_Successful Hunting is totally fine if you put the food to use. The only hunters I despise are those who don't make use of their prey. There's nothing wrong with protecting birds from literally melting due to human activity and then hunting some for food, those are totally separate things.

Well to be fair, his job does look like fun lmao

Who wouldn’t love that job. Saving animals while getting to experience nature. I respect these men for doing this type of work and wonder if that water is safer to be near for humans. If it can do that to birds I’m sure humans cannot be safe near the water either

@Custos Luminis the mine is so deep and the water touches the rocks that are making the water acidic, so you'd need to neutralize all the rocks touching that water. It would be a lot of baking soda... a lot

Hunting is horrible!

My thoughts exactly!

Interesting thought. I looked up some information and the pH of the water there is 2.5 which means it is highly dilute sulfuric acid. The pH of CocaCola is 2.5 as well. So yeah, it isn't good for animals to hang out in it for hours but it isn't quite as dangerous as I was expecting. At that low concentration, several plastics and rubbers are compatible with sulfuric acid, so the idea could work.

Yeah, I was wondering I they’re didn’t covered it with a huge net or something. It’s likely cheaper to just keep things as they’re.

legit feel the same as an avid fisherman, nothing pisses me off more then people tainting the nearby lakes and rivers by killing every non "food" fish they catch and not removing their old fishing lines and plastic garbage from the surrounding area, too many a time have i had to remove shitloads of braided fishing lines left behind by careless "fishers" that would otherwise surely have caused devastation and/ or death to the wildlife in the area. This all seems ironic since i like fishing myself and in doing so hurt the fish caugt on my line but atleast i do my part in trying to keep the fish and nearby seafowl population somewhat healthy for future generations. As you stated, hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen are usually the people who are the most educated in and try their best to keep the ecosystem at a healthy rate so that other generations can experience and be part of it in the future, as ironic as it may seem to some.

That solely lays on the back of the rich owners that know it destroys everything but still do it to make a few extra dollars they don't have to live there they buy mansions in New York while the workers are left fucked because they are locals actually affected by the greed of the rich

@@vincentpol its much more ethical to kill and eat an animal that has lived free its entire life in its natural environment than eat meat from a McDonald's that has lived in a barn its whole life being pumped full of steroids. Besides hunting is an important aspect of conservation, sometimes invasive special need to be culled to ensure biodiversity and the security of endangered species.

@@TolerablyInterested I agree. In a world with maybe 1 billion people. But as our population grows hunting is becoming less ethical because the populations of said hunted animals has dwindled dramatically.

@@vincentpol Hunter's care more about wildlife habitat and conservation than almost anybody in this country. Most hunter's want to see healthy habitat and healthy animals to support their sport. A portion of all ammunition sales goes to support conservation and makes up a large part of that budget. Hunter's are the ones who sound the alarm when animal populations are declining. Hunters in the 1970s were the first to recognize that they needed to change what kinds of deer they shot and began shooting either bucks or does depending on the local need to control the population. Hunting is essential to manage herds and certain species so that biodiversity is maintained. Hunters support wildlife study and the outdoors. The people most passionate about preserving the wildlife in this country want to do it so they can kill it later. Wildlife is a resource and we need to be stewards of it. People who don't support hunting have never been to the woods or know what animals are like. A guy can nurse a baby squirrel back to health and also go shoot them. Educate yourself. You'll find that the people most knowledgeable support responsible hunting. Poaching and hunting endangered species are deplorable to a good hunter.

Preservation is key. Every hunter wants their kids to have the same experience they had...

That money then goes into monitoring & conserving wildlife on the entire continent and not just from hunting but also from natural disasters. Read on, i got more... * This then gives jobs to those working in conservation and hunters are the only reason they get paid for having those jobs. * The hunt itself (claim not "murder") also benefits the genetics, disease, and balances life as it should be. * Tags are only issued at a rate that balances the population, not just kills it into some kind of fantasy extinction.
