An amusing little tidbit I thought of while drinking my morning coffee out on the porch, and got so pissed off I started googling if I'm legally allowed to shoot these guys.
Do you live in the following red areas?
You're probably familiar with this everyday menace:
- Obnoxiously loud, won't stop screaming, and have annoying intonations.
- Thrives in cities, the more bughive-like the better, and have incredible population densities.
- Violent bullies who kick natives out of their own homes, so they can occupy them en masse. Often the native's offspring are killed, and homes are hijacked.
- Carry disease and parasites.
- Congregate in large communal groups.
- Threaten the native population because of their predilection for lower quality of life and therefore lower needs, mass breeding and violent takeovers.
- Are considered one of the world's worst invasive species.
-
Were introduced to other countries for a specific purpose, at which they failed spectacularly and instead wrecked unimaginable havoc.
I'm not talking about Indians. I'm talking about
Indian Mynas.
Fucking Satan in Bird Form. Imagine you live in an infested area: every morning you're awoken to their endless screeching. They form large familial groups, and are highly territorial. They walk around like they own the place, and bully every other animal in site. I've seen them bully cats for literally no reason, they're just assholes. But more importantly, they're an existential threat to native bird species. Mynas violently defend their territory (which is ridiculously large, and yet they have no problem co-populating with other myna families, hence their absurd population density) they kick out native birds, steal nests, and kill the offspring so they can lay their own eggs. When they do build their own nests, they do it in the worst places, often blocking air vents, gutters, drainpipes, etc. It has been declared among the 100 worst invasive species, out of all animals.
How did this happen?
In the late 19th century, the French and British decided it would be a great idea to introduce Indian mynas to their colonies, to act as a form of agricultural pest control. Instead, they made catastrophic damage to the ecosystem, aiding the mass spread of destructive weeds and destroying produce and crop.
So what is the moral of the story?
Fuck you Brits, fuck you French, but most importantly fuck you Indians. They can't even export useful animals
proud to be indian" this is where they're posting from.
