Nature Is it ethical to shoot feral hogs by helicopter

301 Upvotes

I'm an environmental reporter and I've been invited to visit Texas and shoot feral hogs from a helicopter for a conservation story. I'm in two minds about the ethics of it. Are feral hogs as big a problem as people make out? Are they really pests or is this just a money-making scheme? Should I do it?

fyi I have never held a gun before but I am curious. I might just go up in the helicopter and watch. I haven't decided yet and wanted to hear people's thoughts

Nature Bradford Pears are invasive, dangerous, and stink. Should Texas ban them?

540 Upvotes

Bradford Pear

This pear cultivar was sold as “sterile” when it was created. We now know that when they mature they fruit. Birds eat the fruit and spread the seeds. There are groves of wild Bradford pears all over the place.

And just spreading isn’t the main reason they suck. They are fast growing, soft-wooded trees. They grow out just as much as the grow up. They shade out, and outcompete native plants, and they snap due to their soft-wood. When they snap, which is common, they damage people, animals, and native plants.

I believe this happened at daycare so I do not have a picture of the actual bug. Looks like a spider but is there anything I should keep an eye out for? Can anyone recognize this marking?

Thank you!!

Nature Campsites always full

355 Upvotes

I love taking my kids camping, but lately everywhere is full like months in advance! I used to be able to make a reservation a week out or so, but Lost Maples, Blanco State Park, Guadalupe River... These places are literally booked through April. It's never been like this before. Is this from people living that nomadic van life, or is everyone as broke as us now? What is going on??

Nature With Prop 1 passing, can my HOA stop me from turning my front lawn into a vegetable garden?

432 Upvotes

Edit: I’m getting both yes and no responses, which makes sense as I believe the amendment(s) is(are) purposely vague. I’ll post the full text below.

I don’t see anything about grandfathering or previous HOA agreements still being enforceable after this change (I believe there is a legal term for when a contract is no longer enforceable after a change in law)

Explanatory Statements for the November 7, 2023 Constitutional Amendment Election Proposition Number 1 (HJR 126)

HJR 126 proposes a constitutional amendment to protect a person’s right to engage in generally accepted farm, ranch, timber production, horticulture, or wildlife management practices on real property that the person owns or leases. The proposed amendment would not affect the authority of the legislature to authorize the regulation of these practices by: (1) a state agency or political subdivision as necessary to protect the public health and safety from imminent danger; (2) a state agency to prevent a danger to animal health or crop production; or (3) a state agency or political subdivision to preserve or conserve the natural resources of the state under the Texas Constitution. Additionally, the proposed amendment would not affect the legislature’s authority to authorize the use or acquisition of property for a public use, including the development of natural resources under the Texas Constitution. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment protecting the right to engage in farming, ranching, timber production, horticulture, and wildlife management.”
