I think it's more likely that there is a holistic aesthetic that transcends senses, i.e. that which looks beautiful also smells, feels, and sounds beautiful if you have the appropriate organs to detect it.

Post and discuss livestock.
>>5121564find! don't give them fines please
more pigs!
>>5113665Are you feeling any pressure from the big companies? As far as internet tells me, small farmers are getting shafted in favour of big companies. In my mind, I would never become a farmer for the profits, but instead only for the ability to make myself less reliant on the food industry. But I'd love to hear a first-hand account of what its like to - and whether it is worth - sharing a marketplace with big food companies.
>>5122616This is the boar when he was a wee lad. He still flops over like this when you scratch him. Idk if you knew this but boars grow armor plating on their shoulders. It's like a half inch thick layer of what feels like veg tanned leather. Apparently it can even stop some low velocity bullets.>>5121564TY.>>5122695Still too small to feel that, and my area appreciates local small farm type stuff so we have a good angle to try and sell at some of the nicer markets. Already have one market that wants to buy a whole hog.What we have felt is when the other farmers market meat guys started selling pork again. They've been around a lot longer than us and have better brand recognition. The sucky part is that our pork is better than theirs.Endgame for me is low volume ultra high quality pork sold to butchers, fancy supermarkets and high end restaurants at a premium. I know I can do it. It's just a matter of developing my land for it and establishing the consistency to provide pork monthly/bi weekly.
>>5122616This is the boar now. All grown up.
They're all full of pitbulls no one wants. They even have to lie and have to label them "Terrier Mix" or "Lab Mix" just so adopters don't nope out. How will shelters survive when they're 99% wild animals that need to be drugged to function like normal dogs?
>>5122672fag
Eurofag here and my local shelter is full of Amstaffs and Amstaff mixes because from the perspective of trashy people it's the next best thing to a Pitbull.

>>5122132>I heard repotting them during late spring/summer isn't a very good ideaI can assure you, leaving them to become rootbound in the pot is even worse.>Is giving them a pot that's too big a problem?It's always best to increase the pot size gradually, if a pot is too large, the excess soil holds too much moisture, significantly increasing the risk of root rot and if you try to water lightly to avoid rot, the water may never actually reach the root ball, causing the plant to dry out and die. (See >>5118298 my advice for the chili plant are true also for your situation)>And I don't really know how I would fix the soil problemIf you have a soil that is too hard, you can always break it up and mix it with vermicompost, then mulch the surface. This will introduce beneficial bacteria into the soil acts as a magnet for earthworms, they will come up to eat the decaying mulch, digging tunnels and tilling the soil for you 24/7.Also, try planting some nitrogen-fixing flowers with deep taproots, like lupins.When these plants start to flower, cut them down at the soil level and leave the roots in the ground, this will introduce organic matter and, as the taproots decompose, leave behind deep channels for air and water, permanently aerating the soil.
>>5122189>I just watered my lucky bamboo with an electrolyte drinkFlush the roots immediately with pure distilled or rainwater, wash the vase, and replace the water entirely. Dracaenas are usually tough to kill, but the high salts content will burn the roots, and the sugar will cause rapid bacterial rot.

I don't get it. Anyone can do that.
Cats are significantly less intelligent than dogs. They are slightly less domesticated and have the tendencies that come with that (more persistent independent action and innate skills that help them in the wild, reminiscent of the ways chimpanzees and orangutans outperform humans on select tasks), but overall, have inferior cognition and a less rich inner world, while dogs are complex social animals with more going on inside their head.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dogs-when-you-count-neurons-have-a-lot-more-than-cats/Some dog breeds, such as german shepherds, can have over 800 million cortical neurons, twice as much as the average mid sized mutt.Therefore, since dogs psychological needs are greater than their suffering is deeper, public policy should prioritize canine well being, while making concessions to a clean society and the natural order and regulating cats as if they are simply less aware of their situation anyways, because they are.Proposed changes:Dogs must have at least 1/4 acre to roam around in at any given timeIt is illegal to crate a dog except under less than ordinary circumstancesDogs must be allowed to roam in a fenced in park at least once a week, for at least an hour, if their behavioral tendencies allow itSpay and neuter must be delayed until sexual maturity for dogs to ensure proper cognitive developmentDogs must be taken to the vet for a physical and psychological wellness check at least one every three monthsCats must be kept indoorsCats must be spayed and neutered as soon as possible to prevent overpopulationWhen roaming cats are third class citizens akin to escaped rabbits

>>5122764Pet dogs have been a constant in all european and proto-european tribes and societies going all the way back to literally fucking ur, the first proper cityOther races have a biological stress response to dogs. They even think they smell different. I have black friends (albeit distant) and they tell me dogs stink when they don’t smell like anything to me. Then again, I can smell cat and they can’t. I can also smell ants and the can’t. But they can really smell dog, even if you own a dog. These homies also get visibly irate when they hear barking. I listen for the same distant barking and don’t care. Its just animal noises, like the birds, deer, and foxes. To them its the worst sound on earth (but they like rap music?)Understandably. jackals and dogs are a predator of africans. Hearing is an old sense so i can see evolution encoding a response to a certain sonic signature. The stat claiming dogs are the third most dangerous animal is mostly based on deaths in africa, india, china, and the middle east. Non pitbull attacks are freak accidents in western societal units.

People say an untrustworthy person is a weasel but why-what have weasels done?
>>5122504Kill every chicken/rabbit you own and eat all the eggs. Even the rabbit eggs.
>>5122504I have never heard that, but I have heard of weaseling your way out of something. Weasels are flexible, slinky and non committal escape artists
>>5122504nothing, people are just racist towards weasels
weasels are known for their ability to slink, dash into tiny crevices, and be sneaky.
>>5122511this is true, I've seen weasels go into small flocks of hens and kill 10 in a night and eat none of them, it just killed them for shits and giggles.

>>5122085Its a holdover from the pre-wolf removal days when hunting almost caused deer extinction on the east coast. We actually need baiting now because CWD deer are dependent on easier food sources and it makes a humane cull more possible and makes confining prion contaminated tissue to a smaller area, and keeping it off healthy deers grazing area, more likely. Big hunting isn’t getting the message and is focusing on making it more sporting instead>we need an extended bow season! retards

thinking about the past extinctions and impending future extinctions (some very soon like the 'akikiki) of hawaii's native bird species again
>>5121155>>5119985>>5115436One of the biggest threat to frogs (and amphibians entirely) is that batrachochytrium fungal outbreak that literally wiped out species in record time. I wonder if there has been anything created to efficiently wipe it out or damage control it As for turtles it seems conservation has been doing well for so far despite the biggest challenge of repopulating them in particular is their slow reproductive rate. Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises have been re-introduced to areas they once lived in, and green sea turtles got booted out the endangered list. As for the biggest culprit to a good chunk of others species, I honestly blame south east asia and their ridiculous sheer amount of trafficking of turtles as a whole combined with other factors around there for why a good amount of species are on the shit-list right now. It's pretty fucked up for them over there.

God fucking dammit. I wanted to make a question, but there are no cat general. Fine, i'll create one editionMy cat will turn 5 years old this month. She never purred. The only time i listened to her purring, was when she fell from my building and disappeared for 3 days. When we found her, and brought her, she purred very loud for some days. She was 1 yar old thenBut lately, in the past months, she purrs a lot when i pet her, give her food, or hold her like a baby. Why is this?
>>5122112Thanks
>>5122065From my anecdotal experience, my female cats have tended to be less tolerant of strangers and more aloof around the house. My male cats were all lap cats who would live by my side or literally on my lap, and enjoyed the socialisation with house guests. YMMV.As for the steep stairs, I rented a flat with some a few years back while one of my cats was a kitten and by the time we let her have free-roam of our place, she could go up and down the stairs without much issue.
Want to a little plant for my desk, what do plant do you guy recommend that won't kill a cat?
This guy is very affectionate to the point of being obstructive

>>5122565is no one going to point out that coyotes are a huge pest and videos of them getting hunted down are quite popular?
>>5122556that's a big yote
>>5122148Mischievous fellas!
>>5122652Coyotes are only a bother to idiots. They’re not exactly wolves that can rip through a pack of guard dogs, tear down a section of fence, and wipe out a herd of full grown cattle. They’re medium large foxes. You have to be genuinely stupid to have an issue with coyotes. Most of what they eat is outdoor cats that are massive pests themselves and hippie hobby farmers neglected free ranging livestock (what, you gotta stand there and watch your sheep? SAY IT AINT SO). They don’t pose a real danger to something that isn’t as incompetent and brainless as a sheep or as small and retarded as a chihuahua - things that should be kept supervised anyways. A coyote nearby is not like a mountain lion nearby. Your idiot neighbors shitbull is 100x the imminent threat. Livestock are dull minded creations that gladly live in pens. Cats are happy in apartments. Dogs live in houses and chill in fenced yards, while you should pay attention to them if they aren’t in a secure kennel/run. Coyotes are bright eyed souls that mate for life and range over hundreds of square miles. And yet morons still think their chickens need total freedom they cant even comprehend or appreciate more than coyotes need to live. I am 10000x more worried about how to get a husky or other normal pet dog away from my livestock without hurting them than I am worried about coyotes. This isn’t the wild west either. I can buy new livestock in a week. They’re not 2 months wagon ride away. People who don’t acknowledge this are just bloodthirsty china-tier psychopaths. If you can’t feel a pang of empathy when 90 IQ hicks murder coyotes minding their own business you’d probably do worse than shoot a dog. My experience with coyote hunters: when they don’t kill any coyotes they blow off steam by shooting a random animal or a pet, even if they see a collar, or their owner. They are psychopaths as logic would demand.
>>5122652>leave food out>walk away>coyote friend thinks you’re sharing, and has a family to raise>kill them a week later while they’re having fun prancing around in some grass>god punishes you by inducing the remaining coyotes to reproduce 3x faster every time one dies>oh you want more? show me how badly you wanna go to hell lol -god>pic related>ah shaht 20 yohts last week ya’ll i really accomplished somethin they bet leave the kitties alone ya’ll *gets another bioengineered entertainment feline and lets it out to kill birds* -some retard who is going to mysteriously have his entire ranch destroyed by a tornado wildfire and never realize why
