Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

They’re already causing a genocide towards Badgers for “environment/health” reasons and it’s done fuck all, except to harm badgers more and its population.
Yes, grey squirrels are invasive to red squirrels, but that’s cuz they’re stronger genetically than red ones, so it’s not exactly you can do much, cuz it’s in their genes.
Best thing to do is protect red squirrels and actually grow a population of them in a safe environment so they are not at risk of extinction. These conservation efforts have proven time again to be effective for this, whilst not causing harm to other populations of species as well.
Difference is, cunty cattle farmers aren't paranoid about grey squirrels, so they, and by extension, our government, doesn't give a shit about them.
