When we lived in Leeds on a small estate of 60s bungalows, we had a neighbour from hell. He was a small aggressive man with a small aggressive border terrier called Yorkie. Anyway, when his large aggressive wife went to work on nights, he would pass the night in his garden. Barking like a dog. The gardens were small and close together so you can imagine this roused many of us from our slumbers.....He would also hurdle his neighbours fences in an impromptu mini grand national, causing fear to several elderly ladies and a great deal of annoyance. Records were kept, the council (useless) informed but things came to a head when he began making physical threats to the other men on the estate. And him nobbut a midget! Of course we can all recognise a complete lunatic when we see one so.....In the end the police came and took him away for some quiet, personal time in the cells. Problem sorted 🤣
Anyway, to the point: HH the Dalai Lama suggests that a most effective way of building up good karma (to even the balance if you like) is to acquire (buy in our case, I should suppose) many worms and then release them. Besides the obvious horticultural benefits the unit cost is low cf e.g. hares , and their lives post release relatively long as they quickly evade predatory birds through burrowing into the ground; hares are quickly picked off by airborne predators, etc. and, as well as being fewer in number for your money, don’t survive as long in such numbers (each one a life). I am not sure of the prevalence of moles and their kin in the high plateaus - but I assume they are factored in vis à vis the worms.
Haha, as Bill would say, “let’s kill all the lawyers.”
Why didn't one of them think to just take the doors off the fridge and see if it wouldn't just slip right through?
Hey, if we didn't have wacky neighbors, you might have to write about lawyers and venture capitalists. Talk about bad karma.

You have a thing about lawyers?

I haven’t tried it myself yet.
No lawyers were harmed in the writing of this essay.
That reminds me. This is wonderful. Sadly, we aren't allowed them as pets: https://rewildingeurope.com/news/released-wildcats-thriving-in-the-scottish-highlands/
We CAN buy enormous, slobbering ferocious hounds from hell entirely legally though, and they will chew a toddlers face off quicker than any wildcat.
But itz da owner!!! Not da dogz! My Tyson wud lyk u 2 def!!!!1
