First Lady Jill Biden took delivery of the official White House Christmas tree just before the Thanksgiving holiday — but her announcement about where the tree had come from raised eyebrows.
Biden explained that the massive Fraser Fir had come from a family-owned Christmas tree farm in North Carolina — and that the family had nicknamed it &#8220;Tree-mendous&#8221; when it remained standing after thousands of their trees were lost during Hurricane Helene.

&#8220;Their farm is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, a region that was recently devastated by Hurricane Helene,&#8221; Biden said of the more-than-60-year-old farm. &#8220;The Cartner family lost thousands of trees to the storm. But this one remained standing—and they named it &#8216;Tremendous&#8217; for the extraordinary hope that it represents.&#8221;
But critics were not impressed with Biden&#8217;s remarks, arguing that if the tree was a symbol of &#8220;extraordinary hope,&#8221; maybe the political elites should have left it where it stood.

&#8220;This is the sort of tone deafness that cost the Democrats this year. They cut down a tree that survived Helene and want you to know it &#8216;remained standing&#8217; until the government showed up ready to help,&#8221; Erick Erickson posted.

&#8220;So, let me get this straight. The one tree that remained symbolically standing in an area on the receiving end of the unprecedented destruction, having earned the nickname &#8216;Treemendous&#8217; for its fortitude in surviving and standing as a symbol of resilience, was cut down and dragged to the White House to be put on temporary display before getting tossed aside as, for lack of a better term, garbage?&#8221; another posted. &#8220;Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/utah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah</a> lawmakers advanced a bill this week to prevent the granting of inherent rights to nature, a movement gaining momentum among environmental activists.
<a href="https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/static/HB0249.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Bill 249</a>, the “Utah Legal Personhood Amendments,” declares that only mankind may enjoy the legal rights and obligations of personhood. The Utah House passed the bill on Tuesday; it now faces consideration by the Senate.
The bill expressly prohibits the granting of legal personhood to any artificial intelligence, inanimate object, body of water, land, real property, atmospheric gas, astronomical object, weather, plant, nonhuman animal, and “any other member of a taxonomic domain that is not a human being.”
Republican State Rep. Walt Brooks brought forth the bill amid efforts by environmental activists to leverage current U.S. law to grant legal personhood to the Great Salt Lake.
Brooks <a href="https://le.utah.gov/av/floorArchive.jsp?markerID=124928" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> during the House floor vote on Tuesday that a constituent brought the movement to his attention, a request he believed was in jest until he did his own research. Brooks said the bill was “common sense.”
“I had to explain to my kids that, you go to a dairy, those cows are pregnant because they need to be if they’re going to give milk. But, did anybody get the permission of a cow to get them pregnant?” said Brooks. “So, if they were a person, that would be sexual harassment.”
Democratic State Rep. Joel Briscoe indicated that nonhuman entities and beings should enjoy the legal rights of personhood, since corporations may have legal rights under U.S. law. Briscoe said he wasn’t sure whether granting personhood to the Great Salt Lake would be a good idea or not.
“What I do know is this: before I put into code, and vote to put into code, a prohibition against something that I’m told is dangerous without any examples, I would really love to see some detail[,]” said Briscoe.
In closing, Brooks impressed on the importance of definitions that reflect reality. He compared the hesitation to decline personhood for nature to the ongoing confusion over defining gender.
“What I do know is this: a person is a person, and a tree is not, neither is an animal, neither is a stream, neither is the air,” said Brooks. “I bet you if you went back ten years ago, no one had a question about what a woman was and what a man was, but we do get confused.”
Last month, Brooks <a href="https://www.kuer.org/politics-government/2024-01-23/lawmakers-looking-to-close-the-door-on-legal-personhood-for-the-great-salt-lake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> KUER that assigning personhood to something nonhuman wasn’t an appropriate preservation effort.

“We value animals. We value our rivers and streams, wetlands, whatever it may be, our lakes, and there&#8217;s ways that we can preserve them and go forward,” said Brooks. “But trying to mix the idea that it&#8217;s actually a human person is not appropriate.”
Environmental activists have already undertaken similar measures in other states.
Last October, Milwaukee County in Wisconsin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/milwaukee-county-passes-resolution-granting-nature-equal-rights-to-mankind" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a resolution granting nature equal rights to mankind with the aim of securing greater protections for the county’s bodies of water.
The movement to grant inherent rights to nature links back to the 2012 establishment of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
IPBES considers granting inherent rights to nature a significant public policy instrument.
The bill passed out of the Utah House with overwhelming support on Tuesday, with 58 members voting for it and 11 against. Only one Democrat voted for, not against the bill: State Rep. Ashlee Matthews.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) will focus their resources on bringing in more non-white visitors to their state parks.
MDNR issued a renewed commitment to diversity following their latest quinquennial survey: the <a href="https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/aboutdnr/reports/parks/2022-state-parks-visitor-study-summary.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 State Park Visitor Study</a>, released Tuesday. In a press release, MDNR Parks and Trails Director Ann Pierce said the state agency needed to do more for inclusivity, in reference to their data that only 11 percent more visitors weren’t white.
“The visitor study shows that Minnesota DNR is making progress toward our goal of inclusivity, though there’s still more work to do,” said Pierce. “We will continue our efforts to expand access to public lands for traditionally underserved communities and to welcome new visitors to outdoor recreation in state parks.”
The study reported an increase of non-white visitors from five percent in 2017 to 11 percent last year. The survey may or may not reflect an accurate demographic of state park visitors, since it relies on voluntary participants; MDNR pulled their data from 2,000 interviews last summer.
The study divided participants into two groups: white and BIPOC (short for Black, Indigenous, or People of Color). Biracial and multiracial individuals were classified as BIPOC, along with any participants who reported to be American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian or Asian American, Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Middle Eastern, North African, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.
According to the study, state park visitors were more likely to be white, high income, and more highly educated than the rest of the Minnesota population. The study also reported that the visitors they interviewed had expressed a desire to “decolonize signage” and input more Indigenous history and voices in park programming, as well as expressed concerns over potentially experiencing microaggressions and the lack of diversity during their visit.
The results of this latest study echo prior MDNR recommendations to increase the focus of resources on diversity.
In April 2020, the MDNR convened the Minnesota Outdoor Recreation Task Force. In March 2021, the task force <a href="https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/aboutdnr/outdoor-rec-taskforce/minnesota-outdoor-recreation-task-force-recommendations03-24-21-final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> final recommendations that MDNR make diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) a greater focus. The task force claimed that diversity was an economic asset since more the state’s BIPOC and “gender identity” populations were growing, and claimed that the state was losing $16 billion GDP annually due to racial disparities, citing a <a href="https://www.policylink.org/sites/default/files/MNT_032514.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2014 report</a> from PolicyLink and the University of Southern California (USC) Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE).

<a href="https://www.policylink.org/about-us/equity-manifesto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PolicyLink</a> is a left-leaning California-based nonprofit that pulls in tens of millions annually ($83.4 million per their <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/943297479/202213199349327871/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest</a> tax filing) and advocates for progressive causes, such as expanding the welfare state and government-controlled health care.
In the weeks leading up to the first anniversary of George Floyd’s death, MDNR <a href="https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/aboutdnr/outdoor-adventure/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> a social media campaign encouraging DEI on public lands and waters. MDNR partnered with Share the Mic MN, one of the many racial justice activist campaigns that launched following Floyd’s death.
Share the Mic MN had black and brown women “share the mic,” i.e. take over the social media accounts of white “allies.” The Edina Community Foundation manages the campaign and serves as a partner, along with the U.S. Bank Foundation, Minneapolis Foundation, and Allianz.

MDNR also co-manages a collegiate career <a href="https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/careers/idec.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">program</a>, Increasing Diversity in Environmental Careers, that excludes white males. Only individuals who <a href="https://conservationcorps.org/programs/increasing-diversity-in-environmental-careers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identify</a> as women, BIPOC, and/or disabled are eligible. MNDR partners with the Conservation Corps Minnesota and Iowa, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources to manage the program. 
In an interview earlier this week, the principal planner for MDNR Parks and Trails, Gratia Joice, <a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2023/08/16/diversity-in-minnesota-state-park-use-increases-but-still-doesnt-reflect-state-demographics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Minnesota Public Radio that she and other state workers were encouraged by more non-white visitors frequenting their parks.
“This is something we were really excited to see,” said Joice. “The survey shows increasing diversity among state park visitors, specifically visitors of color, from five percent in 2017 to 11 percent in 2022.”
However, Joice also shared that MDNR is attempting to achieve parity between the population demographics and state park visitor demographics.
The Census Bureau <a href="https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/MN/PST045222" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimates</a> Minnesota’s white population (not Hispanic or Latino) at around 77.6 percent, black or African American at 7.6 percent, American Indian and Alaska Native at 1.4 percent, Asian at 5.5 percent, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander at .1 percent, biracial or multiracial at 2.8 percent, Hispanic or Latino at six percent.
Per MDNR’s classification of BIPOC, the benchmark for racial parity would be at or above 23.4 percent.
“While it is an improvement, there&#8217;s still work to be done,” said Joice.

An apex predator is an animal that has no natural predators and sits at the top of their food chain. Animals that qualify are lions, bears, crocodiles, giant constrictor snakes, wolves, sharks, and, of course, humans (unless they get attacked by any one of those other apex predators).
Another animal at the top of its food chain is the orca, also known as the killer whale. They can grow to 26 feet and weigh up to 22,000 pounds, have a maximum speed of 35 mph, live 90 years or more and have a bite force of 19,000 psi (nearly five times that of a great white shark) with 56 three-inch-long teeth.
And they&#8217;re smart: &#8220;Orcas are some of the most sophisticated pack hunters in the world,&#8221; one website <a href="https://a-z-animals.com/blog/orca-vs-great-white-who-is-the-superior-predator/">wrote</a>. &#8220;With their advanced communicative abilities, orcas put other well-known predators that hunt in groups to shame. A pod of orcas can coordinate complicated strategies to isolate, ambush, and disorient prey to ensure an easy kill.&#8221;
Now, apparently, they&#8217;re coming after us. Reports have emerged that orcas are attacking boats, like this one in the Strait of Gibraltar.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Orcas normally never attack boats It is assumed that an Orca was sliced by a ship a few years ago and in excruciating agony attacked the boat Other Orcas were watching and learned to view these boats as a threat and to attack Do not blame the Orcas <a href="https://t.co/SF9wLbmX5M">https://t.co/SF9wLbmX5M</a>

Several reports say a killer whale called Gladis is teaching other orcas to attack yachts and has already struck three boats, sinking two of them. &#8220;Researchers believe that a female orca called White Gladis is seeking revenge after being traumatised by a collision with a boat, or being trapped in illegal fishing nets,&#8221; one report said.
Gladis&#8217; attacks are being copied by younger whales. “A clearly larger matriarch was definitely around and was almost supervising,” Stephen Bidwell, whose boat was attacked by a pod of orcas, <a href="https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fworld-news%2F2023%2F05%2F23%2Fkiller-whale-gladis-gang-orcas-sinking-yachts-gibraltar%2F">told</a> the Telegraph.
“It’s an experience I will never forget,” Bidwell said. &#8220;I kept reminding myself we had a 22-ton boat made of steel, but seeing three of them coming at once, quickly and at pace with their fins out of the water was daunting.”
The attack lasted for more than an hour.
Another hour-long attack left boater April Boyes, 31, in shock — and she captured it all on video.
Boyes said her four-person crew on the 66-foot-long sailboat saw a pod of orcas and turned off the boat&#8217;s engine, but the whales began ramming the rudder and smashing into the hull, Yahoo <a href="https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/video/sailing-crew-rescued-orcas-attack-160600870.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKJaJ7dH89kx5rCBIt59bt9ponbgWUPfSUJsAJ5LlEhtHG95TIBl-2gs30RKb-SI-IFPBQV4AjnyVZMJ4Vvaii0JzWOiViSRlG6i5i_jQ9n9fHalYcZor-KruZco76laLSk0Vv1ac8N_5XWz_W-RsiQb_Zp7dDmP9JFhgtvkGzIW">reported</a>. The crew, again traveling through the Strait of Gibraltar, had to call Spanish authorities, who towed the badly damaged boat back to port.
&#8220;What started off as a seemingly unique encounter ended with orcas breaking off our rudder from the boat, then proceeding to tear bits off the boat for an hour,&#8221; Boyes said.
&#8220;A huge hole in the hull meant we had water ingress to other parts of the boat and the engine room and I can honestly say it was a scary experience. We are all safe, I&#8217;m feeling grateful for the coast guard,&#8221; she said.
A pod of three orcas also attacked and sank another sailboat, breaking its its rudder and piercing its hull. Captain Werner Schaufelberger said he saw the two smaller whales imitating the ramming tactic of the largest orca, the Telegraph reported.
&#8220;The little ones shook the rudder at the back while the big one repeatedly backed up and rammed the ship with full force from the side,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The two little orcas observed the bigger one&#8217;s technique and – with a slight run-up – they, too, slammed into the boat.&#8221;
In all, hundreds of incidents between orcas and boats off the coast of Spain have occurred since May 2020, but most have been minor. Now, orcas have learned how to badly damage boats, even sink them.
Marine biologist Alfredo Lopez Fernandez <a href="https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-sunk-3-boats-in-europe-and-appear-to-be-teaching-others-to-do-the-same-but-why">told</a> Live Science that Gladis suffered a &#8220;critical moment of agony.&#8221; &#8220;That traumatized orca is the one that started this behavior of physical contact with the boat,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;We do not interpret that the orcas are teaching the young, although the behavior has spread to the young vertically, simply by imitation, and later horizontally among them, because they consider it something important in their lives,&#8221; Fernandez added.

A very thirsty <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian</a> black bear broke into a woman&#8217;s car, damaging the vehicle and absolutely destroying several cases of soda that she had been storing inside the car.
Sharon Rosel, the car&#8217;s owner, said that the incident occurred on the night of April 13th — and she was alerted to the bear&#8217;s presence when her dogs began barking at 3 a.m., waking her. When she looked out the window, she saw that the bear had shattered her car window and was happily drinking the sodas, one can at a time.
Rosel <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/soda-car-bear-1.6812541" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) that, over the course of the next 90 minutes, the bear used its teeth to work its way through 69 cans of Orange Crush, root beer, and cola — and only slowed down when it got to the diet soda.
WATCH:

Rosel went on to say that she had attempted to drive the bear off — first by throwing cold water on it from the balcony above, and then by alternately threatening it and attempting to reason with it.
&#8220;You could hear him, slurping it the whole time,&#8221; Rosel said, adding, &#8220;I explained to him how important the car was and that I had to go to work the next morning. That didn’t seem to affect him whatsoever.&#8221;
&#8220;Then I tried psyching him out by telling him I was a bear hunter. That didn&#8217;t do anything either, so I had to stand by and just watch him devour my car,&#8221; she continued.
In addition to drinking 69 of the 72 cans of soda Rosel was keeping in the car, the bear managed to break one of the window rollers and tear up the vehicle&#8217;s white leather interior. &#8220;Of course, white leather interior goes really good with orange Crush,&#8221; Rosel joked.

Noting that she had been raised around bears, she said that she had never known them to be able to smell soft drinks through the aluminum packaging.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been around bears since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, and I have never seen them go after pop,&#8221; she said.

Family members of a man who reportedly went missing earlier this month in southern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/south-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a> allegedly identified his tattooed dismembered arm that two fishermen discovered inside a captured school shark.
According to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/argentina-law-enforcement-fish-news-media-4568b7e30da640bb1bee8f10783c3219" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local media</a>, Diego Barría, 32, an oil worker and father of two children, was last seen driving an ATV along the coast in the southern Chubut province on February 18. Two days later, authorities located the damaged vehicle on a beach near Rocas Coloradas.
Barría was nowhere to be found.
Daniela Millatruz, the leading law enforcement officer in charge of the search, told local media that two fishermen alerted coast guard authorities after catching three school sharks nearby where authorities had located Barría’s ATV.
“When they were cleaning them, they found human remains in one of them,” Millatruz said, adding that Barría’s family members were able to identify they belonged to their kin “due to a tattoo that appeared in one of those remains.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/28/dads-remains-found-inside-shark-family-ids-him-by-tattoo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> hours before authorities were notified of Barría’s remains, a pair of sunglasses were discovered near the area where the ATV was found, which Barría’s mother confirmed belonged to her deceased son.
Millatruz said authorities have begun investigating if another vehicle was involved, presuming Barría was involved in an accident.
José Mazzei, a Civil Protection spokesperson, told local media the agency has two hypotheses about Barría.
<a class="c-link" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-4883">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“One, that he was injured,” Mazzei said. “And the other, which has more weight to it, is that due to the damage to the quad, he was knocked unconscious on the coast, and the strong high tide dragged him away.”
Comodoro Rivadavia Police Chief Cristian Ansaldo told local media that the shark carrying the human remains measured around 4.9 feet, and he hypothesized Barría “had an accident and was dragged.”
&#8220;One of the strongest hypotheses is that it collided with a rock and the body was carried away by the sea, but we are going to handle all the hypotheses with the evidence found in the place,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.adnsur.com.ar/policiales---judiciales/una-busqueda-desesperada-por-7-dias-y-el-macabro-final-de-diego-barria--su-muerte-conmociona-al-pais_a63fcab219799590a89c945bb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Authorities will conduct an official DNA test of the remains to confirm they belong to Barría.
Virginia Brugger, Barría’s widow, wrote on Facebook Sunday, “My heart went with you!”
“I love you forever,” she said.
The investigation into the accident is ongoing.

Over the last few months, roughly two dozen whale corpses have washed up on the Atlantic Coast of the United States. The unexplained increase in fatalities is happening as the state of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-jersey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Jersey</a> is constructing a massive offshore wind farm, which some conservationists claim is affecting whale navigation.
Federal scientists insist that no evidence has directly linked the construction to the spike in beached whales, but some local lawmakers, environmentalist groups, and conservative commentators have insisted the wind turbines are the obvious culprit and are demanding action.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has tracked 184 “<a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/marine-life-distress/2016-2023-humpback-whale-unusual-mortality-event-along-atlantic-coast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unusual mortality events</a>” for Humpback whales in the area since 2016 — roughly 25 per year, but over the past few months, there have been <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2360641-why-are-so-many-whales-getting-stranded-on-us-beaches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at least 22 large whales</a> stranded in the region, including 15 humpbacks, rivaling last year’s annual total.
“It’s an alarming surge,” said Sheila Dean, director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in New Jersey.
Roughly a third of the corpses have washed up on the shores of New York and New Jersey — that’s significant because a massive wind farm is being constructed off New Jersey’s coast. The state has committed $10 billion to the project, which they hope will generate 11 Gigawatts of power by 2040. But now, there’s a growing effort to stop the project.
Thousands of protesters gathered on Sunday — “international whale day” — at Pleasant Point Beach in New Jersey to lobby for a moratorium on offshore wind developments. The group spearheading the effort, Clean Ocean Action, was initially supportive of smaller wind projects, but has expressed concerns over the impact larger developments could have.

“At this point, there is no evidence to support speculation that noise resulting from wind development-related site characterization surveys could potentially cause mortality of whales,” according to the <a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/new-england-mid-atlantic/marine-life-distress/frequent-questions-offshore-wind-and-whales">official website of the NOAA</a>, “and no specific links between recent large whale mortalities and currently ongoing surveys. We will continue to gather data to help us determine the cause of death for these mortality events.”
While investigations have not connected the construction of the wind farm to the excess fatalities, some employees of the NOAA had raised concerns about the risks it may pose before the surge began.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
Sean Hayes, chief of the protected species branch at NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-18/why-are-whales-dying-in-new-jersey-some-blame-wind-farms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> regulators last year that “additional noise, vessel traffic and habitat modifications due to offshore wind development will likely cause added stress [to whales and] result in additional population consequences.”
Whales and other cetaceans often rely on echolocation, a sort of natural sonar, to sense their surroundings, and excess noise could distort their perceptions and lead them into dangerous waters.
Advocates of the turbines have argued that the ships involved only account for 2% of the total traffic in the area — the port of New York and New Jersey is the <a href="https://container-news.com/top-10-the-busiest-container-ports-in-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">third busiest</a> in the United States — and whatever minor marine disruptions that are created would be offset by a decline in greenhouse emissions.
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dozens-nj-mayors-call-immediate-offshore-wind-moratorium-latest-whale-deaths" target="_blank" rel="noopener">30 mayors of coastal communities</a> in the area, and several sitting members of Congress, including Chris Smith (R-NJ), Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), and <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-wind-farms-killing-whales-environmentalism-sean-hannity-1781312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) have called for a moratorium on the project. Tucker Carlson of Fox News also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foVo6GP8Vmw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a> the issue to a national audience.
The office of Governor Phil Murphy put out a statement in response to the public outcry, expressing sympathy for concerned environmentalists while insinuating that some critics were not concerned with whales at all and were merely capitalizing on the situation to shut down a project they had already opposed.
“We know that many residents, both in our shore communities and across the state, share our genuine concern for marine life and its survival,” the statement said. “But we also know that there are those out there who are motivated not by a concern for our environment but by their own political ideologies and opposition to the very efforts that will preserve and protect our environment for generations to come.”
Other observers were even less charitable.
“It’s just a cynical disinformation campaign,” Greenpeace oceans director John Hocevar told <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/02/11/whale-deaths-and-windmills/11178432002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USA Today</a>.
Still, while the cause of the surge in stranded whales has not been firmly established, the phenomenon is indisputable.
“I’ve gotten lots of information from different sources,” said Kim Wetzel, 57, an Ocean City resident who attended Sunday’s rally, “and you can’t argue with the fact that 10 whales have washed up.”

City park workers shocked themselves — and passersby – when they dragged a four-foot-long alligator from Brooklyn&#8217;s Prospect Park Lake on Sunday morning.
The <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/police-snipers-protect-rescue-divers-in-alligator-infested-pond-after-florida-car-accident/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alligator</a> was reportedly spotted by park visitors early on Sunday, floating in the lake in an area that was often popular with children. The animal was lethargic, authorities say, possibly in shock because the cold temperatures in the lake did not meet those of the animal&#8217;s natural habitat.

According to a <a href="https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/02/19/4-foot-long-alligator-rescued-from-prospect-park-lake?cid=id-app15_m-share_s-web_cmp-app_launch_august2020_c-producer_posts_po-organic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Sunday by Spectrum News NY1, the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/alligator-bites-florida-wildlife-park-directors-hand-resulting-in-amputation-second-alligator-attack-in-ten-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alligator</a> was taken first to an animal care center and then to the Bronx Zoo. No one was injured by the animal while it was in the park.
Authorities appeared to suggest that the alligator could possibly have been someone&#8217;s pet — and that the person had attempted to release it into the wild — and they warned against others who might be tempted to take similar actions.
&#8220;Parks are not suitable homes for animals not indigenous to those parks-domesticated or otherwise. In addition to the potential danger to park goers this could have caused, releasing non-indigenous animals or unwanted pets can lead to the elimination of native species and unhealthy water quality,&#8221; a spokesperson for the department said in a statement, adding that such actions could prove dangerous for the animals as well.
The alligator, at the time it was retrieved from the lake, was &#8220;very lethargic and possibly cold shocked since it is native to warm, tropical climates.&#8221;
A man — who gave only the name Moses — <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/19/gator-aid-4-foot-alligator-hauled-from-prospect-park-lake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The New York Post</a>, &#8220;If I saw that gator, I would have kicked it back in the water! You’d never expect to see something like that here. But man, I feel bad for it. It shouldn’t be in a lake. Animals are like people, you know?&#8221;
&#8220;What? An alligator?! OK … oh, my goodness,&#8221; 37-year-old father Vijay Jacob told the Post. &#8220;That’s pretty terrifying since this part is a pretty kids-dominated section of the park. We come here a lot, but I’d never expect to see an alligator here. Maybe that’s why it’s so abandoned here today.&#8221;

On Tuesday, a five-year-old boy was attacked by a mountain lion in northern California when his mother stepped in to save him.
The boy was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/01/child-attacked-mountain-lion-northern-california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transported</a> to a medical facility on Tuesday after the attack was carried out. The attack happened right before seven o’clock in the evening in San Mateo county in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a>, the sheriff’s department reportedly said. Officials said the boy was not conscious when he was taken to receive medical care.
The boy’s mother and grandfather were <a href="https://abc7news.com/mountain-lion-attack-child-injured-san-mateo-county-sheriffs-office/12758053/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accompanying</a> him on a hike when a mountain lion attacked him, forcing him to the ground, authorities with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DWF) reportedly stated. 
His mother saved his life by grabbing him and bringing him out of harm’s way. A Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said the young child was going to be “okay” but had puncture injuries. The DWF noted that the mountain lion was gnawing on the child.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is looking into the mountain lion attack, according to authorities, per the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/mountain-lion-attacks-child-in-san-mateo-county-17755626.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco Chronicle</a>. They will also be speaking with the boy’s mother and taking a sample of the animal’s DNA from his clothes to see if they catch the right mountain lion. 
Game personnel were in the region on Wednesday searching for the mountain lion with the plan “to capture and remove the animal.” 
The San Francisco ABC News affiliate spoke to a person who lives close by to where the attack took place and he said he was the first one to arrive at the location. 
&#8220;They were pretty calm when I pulled up, they&#8217;re my neighbors so I asked them if they were okay. They were very &#8230; they were good. They said everybody&#8217;s fine, but they had to talk to fish and game, and a warden pulled up right as I pulled out,&#8221; Chad Conover <a href="https://abc7news.com/mountain-lion-attack-child-injured-san-mateo-county-sheriffs-office/12758053/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Typically the mountain lions avoid people, so it&#8217;s not often you hear about an attack on a human.”
He said the child was on the rear side of the property, which was a house where his parent was working. 
“Our coastal community had endured so much these past few weeks. Our entire agency is saddened of this news and sends many warm wishes to the child for a speedy and full recovery,” San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/mountain-lion-attacks-child-in-san-mateo-county-17755626.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/mountain-lion-attack-leaves-child-unknown-condition-trauma/story?id=96812050" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>. “Our thoughts are with the family at this time.”
In the fall of last year, a mountain lion <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/child-hospitalized-after-california-mountain-lion-17755673.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bit</a> a seven-year-old boy in southern California, but the boy’s father scared it off. The boy received treatment for relatively non-serious injuries. 
Mountain lions attacking people are not common and are often not deadly. There were just 64 <a href="https://a-z-animals.com/blog/do-mountain-lions-attack-humans-heres-what-the-data-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authenticated</a> mountain lion attacks from 1890 until 1994, but by 2022, there have now been 126 such attacks.

Scientists have <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/01/17/dead-sperm-whale-oregon-coast/11069020002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined</a> the cause of death of a sperm <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whale" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whale</a> that washed up on shore in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/oregon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oregon</a> over the weekend. 
A necropsy was finished on Monday by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who determined that the whale was hit by a vessel. NOAA spokesperson Michael Milstein said that the whale passed away after being hit by a ship as internal bleeding revealed that the whale had been struck. 
“The whale then apparently floated a while before washing ashore on Saturday,” Milstein <a href="https://www.koin.com/local/oregon-coast/scientists-determine-what-killed-washed-ashore-whale-on-oregon-coast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> KOIN 6 News.
The Seaside Aquarium noted that the whale was not alive prior to when it arrived on the shore. The necropsy also showed that the whale was a 20-year-old male and was mostly healthy when it was hit. 
The aquarium noted that male sperm whales can live as long as sixty years and get up to 60 feet long. The site said that people can go see the whale, but they should avoid touching it to prevent the spread of diseases. 
&#8220;It’s a little alarming, but it’s nature, so it’s interesting,&#8221; Kay Schilliam, who visited the whale on the shore, told <a href="https://www.kptv.com/2023/01/15/sperm-whale-carcass-washes-ashore-fort-stevens-state-park/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FOX12 Oregon.</a>
“This is one of my most exciting days. I’ve dreamed about seeing a whale washed up since childhood,” Amber Limb, another person who went to see the whale, said. “I had to take a pause and take it all in before I started taking as many pictures as I could.”
“I thought about the line from Moby Dick. Captain Ahab says a dead whale or a stowed boat, well you have both right here,” Dan Limb, another sightseer said.
Over the weekend, Milstein said it was “40 to 50 feet long,” which is fully grown. 
“They are endangered, so they are protected,” he added. 
“It is a bit unusual to see a sperm whale here this time of year, so that’ll be one of the questions you know, we’re asking,” Milstein said. “Does this help us understand the population and distribution of sperm whales off the West Coast?”
This isn’t the first time that ocean wildlife has come up on the shores of the United States. Just recently, on Wednesday, a female orca <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/dead-sperm-whale-washes-oregons-fort-stevens-state-park-unusual-encounter-expert-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came ashore</a> on a beach in Florida. The orca was a female, measuring at 21 feet long. Authorities said the orca had probably died because of “various illnesses.” 
In New Jersey and New York, seven deceased whales washed up over the course of several weeks. Their deaths were also being investigated.

Scottish-born actor Gerard Butler said in a recent interview that he had a very different career path in mind if he hadn&#8217;t been able to make a living in Hollywood.
The actor spoke with <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/01/14/gerard-butler-reveals-his-job-choice-if-acting-didnt-work-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entertainment site</a> Page Six at the premiere of his new film &#8220;Plane&#8221; — and he said that he could easily see himself working an outdoor job, something that would require him to spend most of his time in nature.
&#8220;Going to work in a national park as a land commissioner or something. I like the idea of being forced into — not forced into nature — but to have that as my everyday experience, to be in nature,&#8221; he explained.
With more than five dozen <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0124930/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acting credits</a> to his name, the &#8220;300&#8221; star doesn&#8217;t appear likely to transition to a <a href="https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1030891-gerard-butler-shares-surprising-alternate-profession-if-acting-doesnt-work-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second career</a> as a park ranger any time soon, but he told Page Six that his love of the outdoors was part of the reason he loved Scotland and tended to vacation in out-of-the-way places.
&#8220;I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world,&#8221; he said of his home country. &#8220;And often my holidays are to places like Iceland, into the middle of nowhere.&#8221;
Butler&#8217;s one complaint about Scotland appeared to be the food — which he described as &#8220;interesting,&#8221; &#8220;historically fascinating,&#8221; and &#8220;definitely an experience for the palate.&#8221;
“But no, I think we’re known for other things,&#8221; he added. &#8220;You know, we have our whiskeys, we have our music, our bagpipes, you know, we have our kilts, but the French have their cuisine. The Italians have a cuisine. I would not say that it would be our first choice to say, ‘Let’s go to a Scottish restaurant’ if we’re talking about amazing, delectable cuisine, right?&#8221;
Butler&#8217;s assessment appears to align with the joke about traditional Scottish foods — delivered by comedian and actor Mike Myers — in the 1993 film &#8220;So I Married an Axe Murderer.&#8221; Upon being asked whether he liked haggis, Myers replied, &#8220;No, I think it&#8217;s repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.&#8221;

A killer whale beached itself and died on a Florida beach Wednesday morning, an event that researchers say they’ve never encountered in the Southeastern United States. 
Tourists and locals in Palm Coast, Florida, 30 miles north of Daytona Beach, were given the opportunity to see a massive 21-foot female orca up close as waves crashed into it. The orca, also known as a killer whale, is the “ocean&#8217;s top predator,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 
“This is extremely rare,” NOAA’s Blaire Mase <a href="https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/killer-whale-dies-after-becoming-stranded-on-florida-beach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, adding “We&#8217;ve never had a record of a stranded killer whale in Florida or the Southeast United States.”
A man was taking a morning walk on the beach around 6 a.m. when he came across the orca <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/21-foot-killer-whale-dies-after-beaching-florida/story?id=96383586" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimated</a> to weigh three-and-a-half tons. The man believed it was alive but was unsure because it was still dark outside, so he called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), <a href="https://www.wesh.com/article/orca-palm-coast-beach/42460315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WESH 2</a> reports. 
“We saw something large in the water. It was about 25 feet off the shore,&#8221; the man told the outlet. He added that the white color on its underside was a sign that it was an orca, so he sent a picture to a biologist who confirmed his suspicion. 
Authorities arrived on the scene to attempt to save the orca, but it died before they could reach it. The Flagler County Sheriff&#8217;s office shared that SeaWorld and the FWC would perform a necropsy, an autopsy for animals, on the large marine mammal. Video and pictures shared by the Flagler Sheriff show the orca lying on the shore with waves crashing into it. They cautioned people to avoid the area and even closed the road because of the large crowds that gathered to catch a glimpse of the rare sight.

It was quite a task getting the orca off the beach, requiring dozens of people, a bulldozer, and compact loaders, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/21-foot-killer-whale-dies-after-beaching-florida/story?id=96383586" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>.

Researchers have so far been unable to determine what might have caused the orca to beach itself, as there were no immediate <a href="https://www.foxweather.com/earth-space/ocra-rescue-recovery-mission-florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signs</a> of a shark attack or a collision with a boat. But an NOAA official has said it did show “signs of various illnesses” according to the <a href="https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/news/environment/2023/01/12/dead-florida-killer-whale-go-to-smithsonian-for-possible-display/69803039007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daytona Beach News Journal</a>.

Orcas “very rarely become beached unintentionally,” the group notes. 
Killer whales are found in every ocean in the world and are the largest member of the dolphin family with 50,000 across the world, according to NOAA. Most of them are found in colder waters around Alaska, Norway, and Antarctica, but they can also be found in subtropical and tropical waters.
