It used to be quality, but nowadays it’s just castaways from society who like ranting about the most irrelevant topic possible.
@Yankees fan but we’re overrated One Yankee fan to another, wildlife welfare is not an irrelevant topic. I do disagree with many points this woman presents.
@Michel Samer she wants to freaking govern the animals.
2:20 so by feeding them. i think like animals know that there is gonna be food where you feed them so they go there so instead i would like grow a population of livestock that is able to stabily survive with the polar Bears. You know. make the shortages bigger with the ones that aren’t on a shortage

Wild isn’t a negative
Wild is a positive
Well that’s a big straw man fallacy.
Some people say about their hair as “being a bit wild, today”. Yet their hair is something they manage, they are not mutually exclusive things.

Humans are wild. They must be managed. Religion Fear Money etc etc.
***humans are messed up. The animals will be fine when we’re gone
I clicked on this TED talks b/c Emma is so attractive, lol! Must be my “wild” nature
I could listen to her all day.
Animals aren’t wild, we just percieve them to be wild. If we were to live like the animals, we’d follow the natural food cycle. Human beings are the ones creating this whole scenario of a “civil” nature
Pets are like members of the family? Never put my mom down for biting a child (and she has).
Actually humans are wild animals behave by instinct!
