Edward James Corbett CIE VD (25 July 1875 – 19 April 1955) was a British hunter, tracker, naturalist, and author who hunted a number of man-eating tigers and leopards in India.

A Large-Hearted Gentleman
https://www.damninteresting.com/a-large-hearted-gentleman

In 1875, there were more than 100,000 tigers in the world. In 2007 there was only one tiger alive for every fifteen that lived during Jim Corbett’s childhood. Had it not been for the intervention of this large-hearted gentleman, it is almost certain that there would be far fewer—if any—of these remarkable animals alive today.

It's important to keep cats' teeth clean.

To check, ask the cat to open its mouth and have a look. Like this:

For entertainment, this contraption cost $13 or so from Kmart. The top piece spins around and the ball goes around inside. Good entertainment for the cat and the noise drives humans crazy since there's a bell inside the ball.....

The British history on killing elephants does not look good. In today's world the finger points to Australian laws:
Are Australia’s ivory laws contributing to elephant deaths?

China, the US and France have also implemented tough laws to restrict the trade of ivory within their countries.
Ms Singh said Australia needs to ensure it is doing the same.

According to the new legislation, all ivory trading in the UK is banned, with only a few exemptions for rare and important items more than 100 years old, and for items with a small amount of ivory in them.
It will also impose a maximum five-year sentence for offenders.

The Rhino Gold Bar initiative began in early 2020 when B2Gold announced the ground-breaking donation of 1,000 ounces of gold produced from the Company's Otjikoto mine in Namibia to support the preservation of the black rhino population in the country and the communities that protect them.

Proceeds from the sale of the bars are managed by the Rhino Gold Bar Advisory Committee (RGBAC), which includes representatives from B2Gold, Save the Rhino Trust Namibia (SRT), Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation (IRDNC), the Namibian Chamber of Environment, and the Namibian Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism.

A portion of the proceeds is being used to assist conservation actions in the field, including support for patrols, intelligence activities, and to rural communities for whom the protection of rhinos is their birthright.

Am I the only one who has difficulty posting tweets (it usually eventually works, but surrounded by lots of garbage text) and also cannot read some tweets like the above. Nothing happens when I click on it. I'm on the latest Safari desktop if that is relevant.

I have no problems with Twitter when I access it directly. It is only from ASF that I have those issues.

Best go to Joe's forum and put the problem to him.
