Such a good boy 🤎

This is doubtless because of his experience of the trenches in the Great War.

Like, this is what things looked like to soldiers who fought in that war (image in black and white of a solitary soldier walking across a muddy wasteland pocked with puddles):

Here’s Delville Wood, the site of a battle in 1916 (sepia image of a wasteland dotted with broken and dead trees):

Here’s an image from the Battle of the Somme, in which Tolkien participated (image of soldiers standing above and inside a trench or earthwork in a grey wasteland; smoke from artillery is on the horizon)

One of the most biodiverse countries on the planet according to the UN, Uganda has seen the population of several species more than double between 1983 and 2021 “due to enhanced integrity of the protected areas,” minister Tom Butime told reporters in Kampala.

The number of elephants has grown from 2,000 to 7,975 while the giraffe population increased nearly sixfold to 2,072.

The buffalo population has risen from 25,000 to more than 44,000, according to the ministry’s statistics.

The “government has been able to successfully reintroduce rhinos back to Uganda that had gone extinct in (the) early 1980s,” Butime said.

But the threats of poaching, habitat loss, climate change and retaliatory killings were causing the numbers of other species including lions and chimpanzees to shrink.

When we say “crime is a social construct”, what we mean is that you as an individual, can go to jail for littering, but a corporation can poison the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jail.
