It’s refreshing, at least, to see some stupidity in this thread that isn’t political or politically-tinged. Just some good old fashioned humans vs. wildlife stupidity. I long for a return to the time when that sort of thing would be what threads like this were filled with. ---

I am a bit amused by how we have a proliferation of “Stupid \_\_\_ in the News” threads that by now are each all over the place topic-wise, as people post whatever they want to share in the first one they run into. Not counting the material that is not really “Stupid …” but just evil or despicable or bad (or simply Republican 😝 ) ---
