I feel like this is a rape or pervert situation waiting to happen to this lady. It sounds like she has good intentions.

I guess it's a low capital business to get into. ?

"There's a saying we have among biologists — You don't go far enough, you don't
get the data. You go too far, you don't go home. The same is true with some
wildlife enthusiasts."

Who knew biologists were so bad ass?

Maybe not "weird" per se, but certainly out of the ordinary, and a cool thing.

As a species, should we really be allowed to survive? OR should Darwin be given a free hand and a train conductor's license?

Iget there is a risk. I wonder how many actual deaths have resulted from texting & walking. I would gather very few. Probably many broken ankles / wrists / arms from tripping or falling though!

Pion is facing a slew of charges including gross negligent operation -- leaving the scene of an accident. Pion is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday.
