"Digging dams in sensitive environments"

"A commercial farming company (Green Leaf Australia Group) and one of its directors have together been fined close to $300,000, for constructing and using dams without approval and impacting a "nationally significant" freshwater wetland in northern New South Wales."

"...The court found that some of the offences involved removing vegetation and clearing land, which caused harm to the environment, including nationally significant freshwater wetlands listed as endangered ecological communities.

"It's not just the environmental harm but also the Aboriginal cultural harm that's occurred though this offending, which Magistrate Scott Nash described as 'reckless and motivated for financial gain,'" Ms Stockley said."

As the vicious #attack ended, the ducks were thrown to the ground, flapping and writhing in pain for as long as three minutes. The now emptied shed became littered with the bodies of those ducks who meant nothing to #Gressingham now that they could not provide any #FinancialGain.

The 9,000 #birds who were shoved into crates then endured an arduous 180-mile journey to Gressingham's #slaughterhouse in #Suffolk, where they would enter an #ElectrifiedWaterBath

It's college athletes taking the wheel
Who want to earn a financial deal
No longer need they be quite as meek
For now they can capitalize on their peak
Sponsorships that go with their fame
Bring both fortune and a certain amount of shame

How Sponsorship Deals Are Transforming College Sports

Now that college players are allowed to cut sponsorship deals, some of them are raking in the money — but at what cost to the rest?

Nothing is actually proven about the outbreak. There's a lot of innuendo that its the dirty #Chinese and their dirty ways are to blame, a common #warCry. In the same breathe, #globalists, who once labelled anyone with a bad word to say about China as racist, now are happy to talk about #overpopulation, #climateChange and #habitatLoss.

In Jan 2020, US #congresspersons used knowledge from #intelligenceBreifings for #financialGain and are currently buying assets back at #bargainPrices.
