  • Groundhog caught on camera smugly eating all the veggies in this guy's garden 💚
    We're celebrating Earth Day by talking to Jeff, an avid garden whose life was turned upside down when he met Chunk, a groundhog with a big appetite.
    6 years later, he's feeding Chunk and his many children and grandchildren the freshest veggies and he’s about to release a children’s book to recount their very special journey!
    You can keep up with Chunk and all of his adventures on Instagram: https//:thedo.do/chunk, Facebook: thedo.do/ChunkFB & TH-cam: thedo.do/chunkthegroundhog.

    Building a second garden is a win/win situation. The groundhogs get the food they need, and the humans get a huge amount of entertainment from watching the little fellows munch their veggies.
    Watching an animal eat happily is very calming and very satisfying.

      ​​@@garcialopez1369 Who's land and the right of conquest has existed since the dawn of man there isn't a single nation that exists that at one point was ruled or controlled by other group's that got wiped out or conquered it's only today that we don't generally accept or practice conquest anymore and it was the Europeans who started that trend by giving back land and relinquishing their empire's due to their morale and spiritual beliefs and going around the world ending the legal slave trade.
