  • Well there’s this case where Monsanto sued a farm for replanting seeds they had a patent on.

    And there’s several other cases similar to that where Monsanto has sued farmers. For instance in “David vs Monsanto”, when a farmer found out some canola plants were roundup-resistant and propogated them on his farm. Monsanto sued him for not having them removed, especially since Monsanto had a program where if they were informed, they’d removed them for farmers.

    So while it’s not exactly as deceived above, it’s not far off.





  • I view that aspect, the motive, as being added specifically to provide a reason for those who haven’t acquired empathy yet, Such as many children. If you simply say ‘don’t bully people for being different’ the immediate rebuttal will be ‘why not?’, and if you don’t give some concrete answer, then the lesson will potentially not stick.

    These tenets of kindness and goodwill are most powerful and propagateable when concrete, calculated explanations can be provided on top of reasons which rely on empathy, because empathy works for some, but when empathy is lacking logic must suffice.

    I do not know where you’re coming from here. Pinnochio wants to be a real boy. He’ll be what he eats, so he’s going to eat a real boy so he becomes one himself. Nothing about that matches curiosity or innocence. Pinnochio has a dasterdly, horrific plan, which he aims to enact. Sly is more apt, if not alittle understated.

    Mountain lions cannot catch cats and dogs easily. Also, plenty of people would straight up murder mountain lion with a gun or their car to save a dog or cat.

    Catch, Neuter, Release diminishes wild cat populations dramatically over just a couple generations, and it doesn’t involve having to facilitate their deaths.

    Edit: I am a fan of the motorcycle idea. We should make sure they’re electric to cut down on their driving volume.
