>>4794850If you don't placate us we will kill off another animal species Ayy/Archon anon.
wow scientists just now managed to discover what the Bible was saying for thousands of years amazing!!!"And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered."-Genesis 9:2>hurdur it was obvious back then!! its just stating the obvious!!Yeah I'm sure it was obvious to everyone back then that animals feared a shepherd boy with a sling more than they feared a lion or a crocodile. UFOs etc are counted among fowl of the air btw you have OFFICIAL dominion over them you can do WHATEVER you want to them.

>>4794920Anon pagan retards know this. Africans have been getting meat by chasing lions away from kills for tens of thousands of years. It’s probably what humans did before developing proper hunting.
A fly got in and my cat can't even catch and kill it, what are cats good for
>>4791839>keep cat all day indoors>feed it kibble or other processed slop all day instead of letting it hunt and hone its skills>cat becomes overweight and is not as nimble anymorewtf why is my cat so useless???
>>4793435>Cats are useless animals.My 12 years old cat which had previously never killed anything in its entire goddamn life just rid me of my rat problem. Traps caught 3, cat got 11/ They aren't like fucking spaniels but they are still useful.
>>4794939This
>>4795117You still have ratsThey are smarter than cats. You only killed the uneducated ones.
>>4794939>let cat outdoors>husky eats it>you seethe and set out poison to no effect, dog was already miles away>someone notices you set out poison and posts photos on facebook>your home is vandalized>you get another cat 3 days later>husky returns, bypasses the poison, and eats that one too>you instantly get another cat and stuff it full of dog poison>the husky does not return, cat just dies in the middle of the street, your neighbors figure out its yours and you are arrested for killing your cat and accused of making up stories about huskies to explain your disappearing catsRULESOFNATURE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacienda_NápolesEscobar kept four hippos in a private menagerie at Hacienda Nápoles. They were deemed too difficult to seize and move after Escobar's death, and hence left on the untended estate. By 2007, the animals had multiplied to 16 and had taken to roaming the area for food in the nearby Magdalena River.[8] The National Geographic Channel produced a documentary about them titled Cocaine Hippos.[9] A report published in a Yale student magazine noted that local environmentalists are campaigning to protect the animals, although there is no clear plan for what will happen to them.[10] In 2018, National Geographic published another article on the hippos which found disagreement among environmentalists on whether they were having a positive or negative impact, but that conservationists and locals — particularly those in the tourism industry — were mostly in support of their continued presence.[11] In January 2021, scientists proposed to euthanize the now approximately 100 hippos, as they have dispersed over the Magdalena river basin.[12] Some scientists have suggested castrating the male hippos to prevent further breeding. [13] In February 2022, the Colombian government announced that hippos will be declared an invasive species. The hippo was officially added to the list of invasive alien species on March 25 2022.[14] On November 3 2023, Environment Minister of Colombia, Susana Muhamad, said that, of the 166 hippos descended from Escobar's herd, 20 would be sterilised, others would be transferred abroad - and "some" would be euthanised. Colombian experts have long warned that the hippos' uncontrolled reproduction poses a threat to humans and native wildlife and estimates suggest that the population could reach 1,000 by 2035.[15]
What animals would you have in your drug funded menagerie?

>>4795180Whatever is the most theoretically damaging to the local ecosystem and human population. Some cocktail of insects, rats, and diseased bats.It is vitally important that a kill switch be implanted into my heart that remotely releases these animals upon my death.

my 8mo old won't leave a dog alone even when it's snarling and snapping at her, she keeps trying to lick its mouth and play. wut do? im worried she's gonna annoy the wrong dog.
>>4795125Tell her no the first time, smack her the next time, then put her in time out the third time.
>>4790547Luv me colliePain in the arse for how quick she learned to open doors.
>>4795197Do not hit your dog for interactions with other dogs dumbass animal abuser. >>4795125They are a puppy. You shouldnt have them around aggressive dogs at this age unless you want “le heckin corrections” from aggressive german shitturds and amerimutt shitbull terriers to turn them into yet another bite risk

>>4794950Not him but the cu/ck/s seemed to like it. It was a good thread and apparently the chicken came out well, just needed better/different sauce.

Relentless
>>4763297This is a very old question but I believe if the chicken is happy throughout, and is slaughtered in a way that doesn’t cause stress or pain, then it’s not the worst way to go. I’d worry that the sudden change of scenery may stress? You could perhaps achieve the same thing by giving it its own special extra meals too while letting it hang out as normal without the cage.I’d say they should be allowed to walk, hunt and peck for the entirety of their life though.
can flock of 30 laying hens be alright with single cock? what colour would be best for big, nice looking and not too agressive cock?
So should I worry about the talk of mass extinction of bugs, birds and other critters or is it just fearmongering?
>>4794440>>4794442>>4794455Not the one I was talking about.When trees took over land they set off a mass extinction.Any organism which goes unchecked causes mayhem>nothing you can doWho knows, human beings seem to be the greatest enemies of themselves
>>4794668That would be the first one.Not only did they kill anything that was not them, they also turned the entire planet into a snow globe for a few billion years.Although, this might be a reason for optimism. It seems like every time there is a disturbing creature on this planet, it seems like life is more and more resilient.
>>4794674There's a likelihood all the weird poisons we put into the planet kills off humanity because we're too cucked by our own creations and morals to stop it even when it's in front of us. Everything that comes after us may evolve to be resistant or capable of consuming and surviving the harsh environment we created assuming we don't somehow completely wipe the slate clean.That's the hope, at least.
>>4794681>That is the hopeNot really, it is not us specifically that cause these problems, but the general trend of Cenozoic animals.We are special for getting to this point first, but, even if we were wiped out last ice age, another animal will take our place.>Hawks that hunt using controlled fire>Octopi which are ridiculously smart, only handicapped by their short life span>Cetaceans that have complex knowledge and social structures, disturb nature for fun, and even have their own fashion>Ravens who can carve sticks into tools and domesticate wolvesWe can blow ourselves up or die from BPA deactivating our hormones, but the next creatures around might be just as destructive. We only took a few thousand years from the point when we could farm to the point where we could cause serious damage by terraforming. The next animal around would face the same problems.The best solution we can hope for is for proper competition to take place. Competition is what keeps nature in balance. Hopefully, human beings are enough of a pain in the ass to one another for it to be enough.
>>4794382The idea that the Quaternary Extinction was solely caused by humans is a total joke and just romanticizing the big game hunters who occasionally hunted something big at most.The most common blood found on ancient clovis points is either rabbit or white tailed deer.Yeah, proboscidean kill sites are a thing but outside that and rhinoceros. There aren't any other kill sites of megafauna. Both are also less common than ordinary elephant kill sites.And finally, ancient humans probably got to the rest of the world WAAAAAAAY before the proposed date of arrival and didn't radiate rapidly and cause extinction to animals "unprepared"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerutti_Mastodon_siteThe Cerutti Mastodon site in California is very likely the earliest activity we have found of humans in North America and features cobbles with evidence they were being used against the mastodon's bones.The age of the site? 130,700 years ago. The Quaternary extinction at the latest in North America started 3,000 years ago and was noted to be fairly spontaneous.Notably, ancient humans also seemed to have been affected. There is a sharp decline in human artifacts right around the younger dryas and it takes several thousands of years before it gets back to how it was before, this is indicating a mass die off.Comment too long.

Why do we even bother trying to save these incels?
Because they're cute and China uses them as bargaining chips
It funny when bears are shitty at being bears. China has a lot of shitty bears, maybe their ancients killed all the dangerous ones or something
>>4794686>poonlmao, that bear has poon on the mind
>>4793905Just force them to eat nutritional food, whether that means sticking a tube down their throat while sedated or starve them idk.
>>4795136Bamboo is nutritional. The shoots are so high in protein that a panda’s macronutrient intake resembles that of a wolf or cat, which means their energy derived from protein is higher than a grizzly bear

new polaris outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zucot1Y7QmEYour thoughts?
can we have a wolf thread...pls
Whats the saying? Youre inside of two wolves?
A few days ago, one of my juvenile cichlids jumped out of the tank overnight. I found his dry corpse behind the tank. I feel very saddened by his death and I wish there was something I could have done to prevent it. I taped some plastic to the opening on the lid but I don’t think it’s enough. Is there anything I can do?
Try reviving it anon
>>4794438Just put the dried up fish back in the tank, it will hydrate and come back to life
>>4794438>I don't think it's enoughWell, there are either gaps or there aren't anon. Which is it?
>>4794438As long as it's covered, it should be fine
>>4794759>>4794773I already threw it out. I believe it was there for around 24 hours, so I don't think I could have done anything to revive it. Did I do something wrong?
