Currently I’m listening to “What It Means to Be Moral” by Phil Zuckerman on Audible.
I like how it contrasts why some people might do the things that they do based on their beliefs and what it can lead a person to do or not do. It doesn’t force any conclusions on to you but it does make you think about things to come to your own conclusions.
Fireworks and red pandas have both existed at the same time for hundreds of years. Red pandas first discovered in 1825 by a French zoologist. One would assume it didn’t just blink into existence (however, I can’t prove it). Fireworks came about around 200 BC.
One would presume that there’s been a lot of overlap.
It’s possible the fireworks exacerbated a problem but it’s not the root cause.
