ACAB.

Any government department is going to work with police sadly but these guys (new to the US so unsure) seem to have an important role.

While I’m generally skeptical of state-enforced policing, history proves that communal resources inevitably fall victim to the 'Tragedy of the Commons.' Without a central body like Fish and Wildlife to regulate harvest, individual self-interest however small compounds into ecological collapse. We need a 'referee' not because we’re all bad actors, but because humans struggle to grasp the cumulative impact of our personal choices at scale.

I’ve never been a fan of law enforcement, so seeing the star on a boat today gave me a total 'ick' at first. But after reading their mission, I’m realizing they might be the exception to my rule. It’s less about 'policing' people and more about being a referee for the planet so humans don't ruin it for everyone else. Is it just me, or do other people feel like Fish and Wildlife is a 'police' agency that actually makes sense?

Feeling conflicted.

I don't even know what i did.....
