Nigga you literally can't own anything here. All (mammals, fish, lizard, insects) native animals are illegal in most states. It is only enforced if you make a scene though.
Some peta retards or similar must've slid their anti animals in captivity rhetoric into the green ideology, because every normie believes that harvesting any wild animal from the wild to for husbandry makes you a selfish tiger king narcisist who is killing the environment, thus even random minnows being illegal to catch and keep in your fish tank.

Different logos for different purposes. Right on their homepage, they still have the cat and dog. Although it is in the new color; imagine it is largely driven to differentiate themselves from PetSmart, which had the same color scheme. Feel free to continue feeding your schizo fantasies though.

When I was a kid, I would confuse Petco and Pepco with each other. One time, I saw a Pepco truck doing maintenance on our street, and I thought someone got a dog.

Now with this logo change, it's almost exactly like the Pepco logo

but does the oni mask offer tactical advantage?

I thought of putting a mesh "cage" around them like we do with electric fans for household use and maybe add some reflective streamers, but they've apparently found a cheaper solution is to paint part of one of the blades black or something and that's enough to signal to the birds to change course.

These things are legit the most retarded, passive animals I've ever met. Holy fuck. 90% of calves don't even make the first year. If they see one grizzly, the herd just scatters leaving the calves to their fate.

What's even more retarded? The calves are blind and confused so they think the Grizzly is a fellow ox, so they stay around as the Grizzly just instinctively kills them one by one.

Legit the most rage inducing documentaries I've witnessed on animals. Fuck these retarded hairy ass cows.

I have a scarf and gloves made of qiviut yarn and they're very light, have a natural 'give' to them that other natural yarn products don't have and they're quite warm so at least they've got a use.

I might sound breedist at first. I have only encountered one zuchon and didn't know what they were until encountering the one I did. But, this stupid thing is the absolute bane of my existence sometimes!

That stupid puppy barks at the door when even the smallest stimulus comes around the road. Sometimes it makes a super loud screeching bark that I can hear even when I am listening to heavy metal music at near-max volume. This thing will jump on the table and eat my food. This thing chews on FUCKING EVERYTHING!

I fucking hate that stupid puppy! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND KEEP YOUR FILTHY TEETH AWAY FROM MY EXPENSIVE EBAY COLLECTION!!! I swear to fucking God I will stomp kick that puppy in the throat next time I see its stupid face whine at me!

Sorry, I just HATE that puppy. I don't hate all dogs and in fact am quite fond of more mellow ones. Just this one stupid zuchon I have to see every day, I wanted to vent about it but had no other place to do so because everyone else in my life loves that stupid bitch because it's cute.

Okay, retard question here most probably, but still.
I have this tiny chihuahua-mix(i think?) dog. Technically, it was my mom's, but im taking care of her after she passed away. Shes getting old, I think she just turned 12 this month, but shes still pretty energetic and seems quite healthy.
Anyway, shes been eating pretty much only kibble her whole life. Purina Pro-plan, mostly, since thats what her vet recomments, but im trying to mix it up with other brands so she doesnt get bored. But I just feel sad for her, eating the same fucking dried meme food your whole life, even for a dog, this shit must be depressing... I tried making her food myself a few times, both chicken legs, boiled them, boiled some rice, and some veggies that are okay for dogs to eat(mostly tried with green beans) and she absolutely loved it.
But then, every time I go to the vet, she seethes at me and tells me to never feed her "human" food...
I dont get it, is she actually right or is it some shill trick to make me keep buying expensive dog food from her?
I mean on one hand, I can see it, there are probably plenty of vitamins, minerals and whatever nutrition that the dogs needs that I would probably not incorporate in her homemade food properly, but on the other, dogs existed for millions of years, its not like they were doing bad before kibble was invented, surely.. And its not like I trust all those meme brands to really be "THE BEST FOR THE DOG" as their advertise, they literally put the cheapest garbage meat and veggie leftovers in their production.
I feel the dog knows better what she needs, I can see the difference in the enjoynment she gobbles the homemade slop I make her, or even begs me to give her a bite of whatever Im eating compared to the same boring kibble she eats every day, but i might be just wrong, i dont know

yes. she's not "in on it" as much as you'd think. they get them in vet school. she genuinely believes she's instructing you to do what's in the dog's best interest by feeding it literal trash.
>there are probably plenty of vitamins, minerals and whatever nutrition that the dogs needs that I would probably not incorporate in her homemade food properly,
also correct. there aren't easy answers here. is not insurmountable, just isn't easy.

So this afternoon (around 18:30) i took a picture of this amazing view of a complete rainbow (if you look well enough you can even see the moon between the first and the second one).

When i looked at the photo i noticed that the color of the sky changes a lot over and under the rainbow. I've never seen (or noticed?) something like this.
What is even stranger is the fact that the sun was setting on the opposite side of the sky, so you would expect the sky's colours to get gradually darker when approaching the horizon under the rainbow. But this picture depicts the opposite: they are brighter under the bow and darker over it

I'm quite new to 4chan, so i dont know where i should post this. I will put it for now in /sci and /an. Thanks for the attention
