Video out of Bowmanville, Ontario, shows Southeast Asian men (do with that what you will) flipping salmon out of a small stream during the annual salmon run back to their spawning locations.

Early September is peak salmon-fishing season. Fisherman across the continent catch millions of fish as they return upriver to spawn.

But it is highly illegal to catch salmon near their actual spawning sites (especially with nets), which includes Bowmanville (upriver from Lake Ontario). It is also unsafe, as the fish die off in mass numbers after spawning, making the meat inedible.

Despite this, migrants have been seen poaching fish in the area for several years (at least).

In the comment section, some people shared stories of their own, including this anecdote from Port Hope, Ontario.

Over the summer, SE Asian men went viral in Muskoka, Ontario, for filming themselves shooting up a local bridge and river. Locals say they have reported such incidents for years, but despite the danger and the leftover environmental pollution, authorities have been slow to act.

Pollution in SE Asian countries is a serious concern. A 2021 study published in Science Advances noted that 58% of all global plastics pollution enters the ocean from SE Asian nations.

Major rivers like the Ganges in India are also severely polluted by human feces, bodies, and trash. In the 1980s, the Indian government released flesh-eating turtles into the Ganges to deal with the rotting bodies, but locals poached them.

SE Asians are now bringing their religious rituals to Canada. Here is a recent video from Richmond Hill, Ontario.

I've been told for decades by liberals that protecting nature is the most important priority for our civilization - that protecting our animals, our pristine waterways, and our overall climate is our most important duty as human beings.

Why don't they seem to care about the impending destruction of the environment by hundreds of millions of migrants who don't share our values?
