I hope PETA wins the fight to prevent them from being hunted to make whiskey stones. ๐Ÿ˜ข

I passionately support them on this. Sadly so many people are ignorant of how cruel whiskey stones are...

For real. Who the hell wants cold whisky?

They've actually all been ~~murdered~~ cut up into little curling stone memorabilia actually. $89 to own a tiny piece of the Olympic stones

I just picture a couple of them seeing a therapist holding a stone doll asking where the bad Canadian man touched them.

Every ecologist knows curling stones don't hibernate, they migrate to Canada for mating and birthing and the young one's education.

I believe they return to their spawning grounds in Scotland.

Much like monarch butterflies, those are actually two separate species. The species of Curling Stone which returns to Scotland is actually on the IUCN Red List.

I love this kind of quiet, nerdy humor. Turning sports equipment into little creatures with a seasonal life cycle is oddly wholesome and very clever.

World championships start on the 27th!

I want them to curl wombats.

Nature is so beautiful

Hope they get all cozy after they curl up in their den.
