While fringe media sites are iffy on details, this article would explain the ~2 hours of domestic violence that is Civil War and how one of the greatest anti-war novels of all time got turned into a pro-war trilogy with rabbits pulling a sled.
More studies explore how pesticides kill bees. In some ways this is complicated, such as how chemicals behave once released into the wild. But in the most fundamental way, it is very simple: poisons kill things. No matter how safe people claim a toxin is, it's still a toxin and that tends to cause problems. Here's another thing that's very simple: bees pollinate about one-third of the human food supply, including almost all the high-value fruits and vegetables. We are fortunate that many staples are wind-pollinated, but let's face it: if the bees die, a great many humans will follow. So let's hope the idiot humans can learn faster than Coyote and his anus.
