Remember when RFK drove hundreds of miles with his family in the car to cut off the head of a beached whale and take it home?

Or when he left the corpse of a bear in Central Park?

Or when he was both a heroin addict and a heroin dealer?

Or when he claimed a brain worm to avoid child support then when ex wife died (suicide in part due to his infidelity) had her interred against her family's wishes (legal battle, he won) in the Kennedy plot. Then had her exhumed and reinterred elsewhere after buying the 50 surrounding plots.

They care more about some ostriches rather than human lives...

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago

They don't even care about the ostriches, just want to push their "bird flu is just a cold" propaganda.

Either I'm having a slow day or that's a really bad headline, had to read it 3 or 4 times before I could parse it.

Could also be the bonkers content the title is trying to convey. I would not be the least bit surprised to see any of these three on one of those rich-people-trophy-hunting-beloved-and-endangered-animals safaris, and yet, our health secretary is trying to bring flu ridden Canadian ostriches to Florida. Because of course he is.

Meanwhile, American billionaire John Catsimatidis said in a statement that he, along with Oz and U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., are seeking a "diplomatic meeting with Canadian officials" about the fate of the ostriches before irreversible harm is done."

Yeah, really awkward. CBC must be low on staff.

Same. Thought it was just my ADHD

If "Dr." Fuckin Oz kick-starts the next pandemic ...

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

That’s absolutely what’s going to happen

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They are going to fuck those birds aren't they?

Allegedly...

American idiots with IQs the level of my shoe size call upon Canadian science based org to don something incredibly stupid

Yeah, that makes sense
