Cassowary banishment from tropical forests
Urban sprawl and wildlife translocation

"Only around 4,000 southern cassowaries are thought to remain in Australia, and the species is threatened by habitat destruction, vehicle strikes, dog attacks and climate change."

An "endangered southern cassowary was discovered underweight and with a belly full of tomato seeds and fruits scavenged from compost bins. Several reports indicated the bird had been wandering along roads close to cane fields and was in danger of being hit by a car or truck."

Yahoo News · Tense moment rare 35kg creature lowered into remote Aussie forestBy Michael Dahlstrom

I pretty much have CNN on 24/7 in my bedroom because it is the easiest thing to ignore, and I get breaking news relatively quickly.

When I woke up this morning, the story playing was about Trump's latest case-- the fraud one, if you haven't been playing along at home.

Anyway, it made me think. Since their New York business certifications have been revoked and a third party is dissolving their New York holdings... is this the 2023 version of banishing?

If it is, I'm down.
