Why I am disgusted by the human species.
Speciesism Part 2: Marine Life
It is estimated that up to 3 trillion fish are caught from the wild & killed globally every year: This doesn’t include the billions of fish that are farmed. Fish account for 40% of animal products consumed
Despite a moratorium on commercial whaling and a ban on international trade of whale products, three countries-Iceland, Japan, and Norway—continue their commercial whale hunts.
16,000 whales have been murdered every year for 83 consecutive years.
Despite citing “scientific research” as a Reason for Capture, no data is ever published by reputable scientific journals.

With over 300,000 small whales, dolphins, and porpoises dying each year from entanglement in fishing nets, bycatch is causing one death every two minutes. It is the single-largest cause of mortality for small cetaceans.
100s of 1000s of these ancient reptiles are caught each year as bycatch. The sea turtle population has now 6 of the 7 marine turtle species currently categorized as "Vulnerable," "Endangered" or "Critically Endangered" globally by the IUCN Red List.
Despite enhanced protection against the gill plate trade, all rays are still being killed in their thousands, and devil rays in their tens of thousands, as victims of bycatch in high seas fisheries.
Approximately 100 million sharks are killed globally each year & one of the major incentives for this is the shark fin trade.
Go vegan and learn to cherish all of these wonderful creatures.

Niger state shares borders with Zamfara, kebbi, Kaduna & Benin Republic. Terrorists from Niger republic and Burkina faso easily move money and arms across the borders of Kebbi, Zamfara and Benin R into Niger state. According to UN over 900,000 people have been displaced in B'Faso https://t.co/65YEMJhqDp
Niger, Mali and Burkina faso are weak countries populated by Shell terrorists who have now found a safe haven in the forests in Kaduna and Niger state. Birin Gwari, Mokwa forest, Nanati forests, Kanji lake areas.
No decent human resides permanently in forests.
We are facing both external and internal threats from these weak and failed countries we are surrounded with. As a senator you know that a FG police system with less than 300k officers can't actively police the landmass and borders in the North.
Form your state police now!
You and other senators should scrap the FG police system and devote the unaudited security votes and constituency allowance to policing your corridors and forests. Let the airforce bomb them and put your rangers in the forests. Issue an ultimatum for those in the forests to leave
You are all living in a dream if you think the current police structure will become efficient overnight.
Budget, Personnel, Technology, Equipment, Surveillance..It's impossible.
Form your state and community police and flush out the terrorists.
I am shocked and saddened by the attack on GSS, Kagara in Rafi LGA that led to the abduction of innocent schoolboys in Niger East. It is appalling that acts of violence against our educational institutions are becoming a norm & perpetrated on defenseless children.

1/Politics thread time.
To me, the most important aspect of the 2018 midterms wasn't even about partisan control, but about democracy and voting rights. That's the real battle.

Bad ballot design led to a lot of undervotes for Bill Nelson in Broward Co., possibly even enough to cost him his Senate seat. They do appear to be real undervotes, though, instead of tabulation errors. He doesn't really seem to have a path to victory. https://t.co/utUhY2KTaR
