Although the account that would make it easier for some Californians to kill swans is a celery through the legislature, it may soon be a reaction if animal welfare activists should enhance their opposition to the proposal, writes Calmatters. Ryan SabalowS
Born in Europe and Asia, Sum Swans is considered an invasive species in many regions in North America. They displace local birds, destroy plant species that other local animals rely and are aggressive. In 2022, there were about 1150 swans in California in California, according to biologists of state waterfowl. This spring, scientists believe there are more than 12,000.
In order to overthrow their population, a measure at the moment before the state senate would allow Hunters and landowners who shoot swans in 2030S The bill uses a similar approach to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife $ 13 million campaign to control NutriasA large invasive rodent from South America.
- Mark Hennelslobbyist for the California Association for Waterfish, At the time of hearing of the Assembly Committee in March: “If the population gets too large and out of control, it can be beyond our ability, then manage them really effectively. So we want to outstrip the problem.”
The bill is still no official opposition, but other countries on the east coast, which tried to introduce the same methods of eradication against Mute’s swans, were met with strong resistance from anti-a-to-a-toe activists.
Nicole Rivard, a spokesman for animal friends, said the allegations of environmental damage to the species were exaggerated. The swans were also imported into the United States by people by no guilt and should not be killed for it. The bill, Rivard claims, serves as another time for hunters to have another bird to shoot legitimately.

The Trump Administration terminated these grants from the National Scientific Foundation because of the allegations that the university does not do enough to limit anti -SemitismS The judge’s last decision says the administration has violated a Prior order Issued by the same judge in June. This order directed the foundation to reimburse the grants that tried to end in the spring and banned the Foundation from terminating additional grants.
The last order does not refund 500 other grants from the National Health Institutes, which the administration also froze in July. They were not covered by dilution by June. In total, the administration has frozen $ 584 million from UCLA’s grant in an attempt to force the university to agree on $ 1 billion.
The effect of LA immigration raids
As part of Trump’s plan to run the largest deportation campaign in US history, immigration agents have detained about 3,000 people in California to July.
At the center of immigration repression in the state is Los Angeles, where Calmatters’ Nickel dura explores What happened to the cityWho is now entering his third month since the attacks rose in the summer.
What stood out in Nigel was the silence of the city and the empty spaces: instead of stormy neighborhoods filled with vitality, there are now closed restaurants, empty park benches and abandoned food stands.
The emptiness is a particularly acute for a legal counterpart, a 20-year-old Nigel talks with whose father he was detained in an attack in June in the fashion neighborhood. After his arrest, the family shelters on site in an apartment with two bedrooms of fear.
- Conteras: “There are, not like happy things. And when there are happy things like a birthday that have just passed, we become even sadder because my father is not here.”
