like two days ago a pitbull killed his owner in my country, the news tried so hard to not mention the race of the dog but in the end the guy's mom spilled the beans, now there's a bunch of pitmommies on facebook saying that he deserved it for being a poorfag.

They are good at fighting, for their weight class. But lions, tigers, and most wolves are just bigger and stronger. There are some sub-species of wolf that are about the same size, like the Arabian wolf (average mass for those is like 20 kg). Pitbulls would probably win in a fight against one of those.
>>
>>5105403
Sure, but the big reason for why pitbulls attacks are dangerous is when they snap they just continue biting and holding on even while being repeatedly bashed in the head. Very rare that a wild predator does that, they're usually very careful to not sustain injuries.

That Caprisun you drank when you were six is still there, maybe a bit faded but still there. Lying in a growing landfill of single used plastic from millions of other people. Being able to persist for thousands of years.

I know humans have the "Out of sight, out of mind" mentality, but I getting a bit scared for the future.

they will probably bioengineer some bacteria or whatever that can digest them. or some other solution, i don't know

it's the same with climate change, or deforestation, etc. all of that is a very bad side effect of human nature and technology, but most likely technology advances fast enough that we will be able to clean up all the messes that we are leaving behind, so we don't need to be too depressed about it now. obviously we shouldn't ignore it either

it's a cycle, each generation of tech will be able to fix the side effects created by the previous one. that's how human nature works, it makes us progress, and that has a cost, but sooner or later we focus the tools given to us by the progress towards fixing/controlling the cost

Blaming environmental problems on the average joe is a psyop to make you feel guilty for things you are in no way responsible for.
Yes don't litter and dump chemicals and shit into the environment, but we aren't responsible for the giant pile of trash in the ocean or the whole in the ozone. No I won't feel guilty about eating steak while you are flying in a private jet every week to go to a meeting.

>Share your pet sitting or sitter stories.
Once while I was off work for a few weeks I got saddled with dog sitting for a relative for a week. She had a dog with severe separation anxiety and was also afraid of men so she (the dog) would constantly bark any time she was alone but also refused to let me comfort her in any way and just kept her distance from me. I don't think I got a full night of sleep the entire time I was there from that dog randomly barking in the middle of the night. Literally anyone else would have been better off taking care of that dog but I guess I was the only one that was available.

Ever since that I stopped telling people when I'm on vacation.

I saw online a youtuber named @itsnotquitevanlife that she had her dog stolen and I just wanted to share it here in case anyone could help. "URGENT: HELP! PLEASE READ!

I am beyond devastated. After 3 years of friendship and traveling together, my dog Bambi was stolen right after I was rushed to the ER and very sick. I don't have much information, but somebody who witnessed it said the thrives are (likely anti-homeless) tourists who live in either North LA or North of LA. They allegedly took her in a white truck while I was getting medication nearby Slab City. I've been calling vets around the area to look out for her, but I don't know what else to do. There are so many vets, so many other places she could be, and I just feel so helpless. I am so fucking heartbroken and sick. I have such an amazing community here, and I know a lot of y'all are in SoCal and maybe even around LA. So please keep an eye out for my girl. Surely the thieves will take her on walks in public eventually, right...? I need hope. I cannot sleep. I cannot eat. I miss her and I need to know she's safe. If anyone has any suggestions, information, or knows of any ways to help... please help."

What is /an/'s favourite nature documentary? For me it's Attenborough's "The Life of X" collection. I've rewatched it recently, and the thing I like about it the most is that it puts more emphasis on life's diversity and how various creatures are adapted to their environment, rather then to try to show a story or a pretty picture, which is what most documentaries do.

Why do pitbull owners refuse to acknowledge that their dog may be dangerous? I'm probably biased because I live in the bumfuck south where every retard owns a goddamn pitbull, leaves the asshole outside on a chain, and fucking yells at it all day instead of training it. Then they have the gall to tell me "Princess would never hurt a fly. She gives the best hug. She's a nanny dog." Seriously they all say these same exact things. It's like the same script word for word. I don't want to say pitbulls are inherently more dangerous than other breeds (I believe this is true but it's so contentious you just can't say it) but they are still dogs ffs. And all big dogs have the capacity to be dangerous. But these people act like it's impossible. And they keep breeding pitbulls like crazy.

Using dogs for hog hunting actually makes hogs harder to eradicate long term by stressing them out and putting them in survival mode. It’s also way less efficient than just shooting them all night.
>>
>>5105157
any hunting is better than no hunting , and have you even shot a hog? giant ones don’t just go down with one shot

and yes.. i hope we stress them out. they should be in survival mode they’re invasive pricks

got a new toy for my girl

Posted my question in the dog thread but It's urgent when it comes to my Frenchie
My dog is a fucker, cute, and doesn't have any issues following directions or have accidents in the house, but he started doing something that pisses me off and I can't stop it.
>waits for me to take a shit, follows me into the bathroom.
>when i start shitting and cant deal with him, he climbs in the boxers around my ankles and gives me a dumb look
>fucker starts pissing all over my clean boxers
>cant get up until i wipe
He's done this 3 times already, and looks smug everytime. What the hell is he doing?

In the strictest botanical sense, pretty much every fruit that you consider to be a 'berry' is not in fact a fucking berry.
Strawberry? Nope.
Raspberry? Nope.
Blackberry? Fucking NOPE.

HOWEVER
Banana is a berry.
Pumpkin is a berry.
Tomato is not only a fruit, but it is a BERRY.

>scientists inappropriately stole the word “berry” and redefined it, and then told everyone they were ignorant subhumans for not using their “true” definition
Many such cases.

They were at no point obligated to use the word berry for true berry or bug for true bug. If they have room in their vocabulary for “mesocarp” instead of “the flesh of the fruit” they could have made up literally any name instead of reusing something with a long established definition.

Idiots who wish to appear intelligent are the worst of all.
>>
>Tomato is not only a fruit
Yeah but it's also a vegetable since that is a culinary term. The whole fruit vs. vegetable thing makes no sense.

Paper wasps aren't even that bad as far as wasps go. You have to almost be trying in order to piss them off and they only really become a problem when they build nests in or around your door. The ones I'm scared of are yellowjackets.
>>
>>5104890
It depends on the species of paper wasps. Some of them are pretty chill, but one specific species that lives in my area (polistes carolina or something that looks similar) is extremely obnoxious and aggressive.

Yellowjackets have a bad reputation, but I've never actually had any trouble with them, even when right next to their nest.
>>
>>5102372
Just use real nests.
I spray the ones I have to kill the inhabitants, then leave the nest up to deter future nests in that spot.
I didn't have to spray anything last year on my overhang porch thanks to this.
