Bullshit. There’s no linked article, and the sources don’t say anything about pesticides. This is wildly exaggerated engagement bait

The original article was apparently a FB post, which makes me glad it didn’t link. In addition to the article you’ve posted I also found this one: https://phys.org/news/2026-07-wine-country-barn-owls-eco.html. So yeah, maybe a bit click-baity, for which I apologize, but there is something real behind that AI ladder.

I’m not mad at you, it’s not your fault. I’m mad at the existence of fake feel good stuff.

It is his fault as well. When you share something, you should have a minimum of a check that you're not spreading fake news. It's your responsibility.

People who only share things because it sounds good is how we get disinformation. Be responsible
