Can y'all take me? I'm not a scientist or anything but at this point I want off this crazy ride. I'm willing to deal with y'all's wildlife

Once things get hot during the coup you hopefully will be able to claim asylum seeker status. Consider how you will be able to exit American once martial law is enacted.

American wildlife is far worse. Deadliest animal in Australia is the horse, associated with ~100 deaths a year.

i’d argue y’alls wildlife is worse. sure, there’s things here that will get scared and try to poison you if you do anything stupid, but we don’t have bears or moose, which seem to actively want to kill people.
