Environmentalists love nature so much they leave dogs to starve and/or freeze to death

I think it's easy to see that the professional lefty protests against the North Dakota Access Pipeline was never about anything other than promoting chaos. After all, the protests continued even after the Sioux tribe protesters were supporting were told by the tribe to go home. The tribe and the protesters have been dishonest from the start about their motives and the facts underlying their "protest." This has nothing to do with tribal rights -- the pipeline never crosses tribal territory -- and everything with green hatred for fossil fuels.

Of course, this green desire to rid the world of fossil fuels would force us to freeze to death in the dark since they oppose the only viable energy source with no carbon emissions, nuclear power. So we can only conclude that these people don't hate progress that makes peoples' lives better, they just love nature so much they are willing to take on for the team, right?

Yeah, well, maybe no so much. Last time I checked, dogs are part of nature, and these nasty ass professional protesters left a bunch of dogs to freeze to death. Or starve to death, whichever came first:

Dakota Access Pipeline protesters who caused an environmental catastrophe at the Oceti Sakowin protest site left more than heaps of human waste, garbage, and petroleum-leaking vehicles. They also abandoned poor, defenseless puppies.
A total of two dogs and six puppies were found abandoned at the site and rescued by local nonprofit Furry Friends Rockin’ Rescue, local news reported on Saturday.

Yeah, the animal rescue group said the animals found were in bad shape, with frostbite and mange, and had been left with no food. Thank God these protesters love nature so much. Otherwise, they might have left things in much worse shape:

The reports of the cast-aside canines follow news of the grave environmental threat to the Missouri River posed by the almost unfathomable amount of waste left at the site by protesters, a threat so grave it compelled North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to sign an emergency evacuation order.
Authorities estimated that protesters left enough garbage and human waste to fill 2,500 pickup trucks.

Can you imagine how bad things would have been if the protesters didn't love nature so much? Fuck, they'd have left an entire zoo behind to freeze to death.

 

Mighta jumped the gun on hope for Turkey

Not looking good for the home team in Turkey:

ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey's prime minister issued a "final warning" to protesters on Thursday, demanding they end their occupation of a park next to Istanbul's Taksim Square that has ignited the largest political crisis of his 10-year rule.
Despite the ultimatum by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, thousands of activists camping out in Gezi Park dug in for a potential culmination of their two-week standoff with authorities.

The Associated Press seemed hopeful that a Rodney King moment could be reached and that everyone would just get along, because the dictator "was to meet late Thursday night with some representatives of the protesters occupying the park."  The AP did not seem to notice what it reported later in its own story:

"We have arrived at the end of our patience," Erdogan told local party leaders in Ankara, the capital. "I am giving you my final warning," he said, directing his comments toward the protesters."

No offense, AP, but that doesn't sound like he wants to sing "Kumbaya" when he meets with protest leaders. Sounds to me like he is going to tell them to go home or get ready for him to go big.

Don't they look like they just want a hug?
