Biological rodent control initiative Owls Eat Rats was crowned this year’s winner of The Hatch: Taronga Accelerator Program, taking home a massive $50,000 cash prize.

Unfortunately the AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) on this article is unavoidable.

    Where are you seeing owls being enslaved in the article? It says the initiative builds and expands habitats for owls.

    And even if they were being enslaved, that’s better than minefields of (artificial) poison in our (natural) environment. Even if you’re a vegan, there’s enslaved hordes of plants behind your survival. It’s always what’s better.

      To be honest I only read the title, bumped into a paywall when i clicked the link and couldn’t be bothered to put more effort in it.

      And even if they were being enslaved, that’s better than minefields of (artificial) poison in our (natural) environment.

      I do agree on this.

      Even if you’re a vegan, there’s enslaved hordes of plants behind your survival.

      But not on this, although i am not gonna argue why slave animals is a thing and slave plants is not a thing.

      It’s always what’s better.

      You’re right, it’s finding the balance - that was the topic of my comment basically.

        Argh, I chose this AMP article over one that displayed properly because it didn’t seem to have a paywall. Guess that was just my browser extension. I’ll see what I can do.
