Squirrels are demonic beings who don't like nice things. They exist to pointlessly seethe and mald. If they tried to live in human habitations, there would probably be no squirrels within a generation. I have no clue how rats are so great and squirrels are so bad.

everyone forgets that Daspletosaurus skull with the face preserved.

It's like the feather debate of a few years back.

>>5107301

It is because of the type of teeth it had. They were likely protected as they were not fast growing and easily replaced, like crocodiles or sharks.
Lips are something found in reptiles throughout history, and mammals, and there is no reason why it wouldn't have them to protect its most useful tools.
It was Hollywood that have them big shredding-curved teeth that stuck out, and it looks retarded.
This t-rex looked great to me.

How moist do I need to keep my soil for germination? Winter is basically over where I'm from and I will probably be pulling out my seedbed from the dark damp place I had it for winter so my seeds can finally warm up in the sun, but It's definitely going to dry them out quite quickly. So I was wondering how often I should water them for the highest chance of germination, I have kept the soil relatively moist for their entire winter period but I'm wondering how to proceed from now on.
>>
>>5106771
> i always wait until everything looks dry enough with both of them
That's what you should do, so you're good, my advice for the Jade plant is to give it two or three dry day before watering.
What's the soil you are using? a shitty universal mix for cactus or something specific with a lot of grit?

>Mandatory microchipping and registration of all dogs and cats in the EU

It's happening. The EU has taken the firs step into preventing crush porn. It's a small step but a huge one at the same time. Crush porn enthusiasts torture animals for their entire lifetimes. They will never be caught, they will bury animals in the forest, in their yards, or just throw in the trash can. There will never be an investigation, nobody is looking to prevent animal abuse like we actively strive to prevent and detect human/child abuse. In china it's not even illegal to torture animals so pic related, they do it in the open and you can even get paid to be a professional cat deleter.

But now a first step has been taken in registering all cats and dogs.

We ultimately need to copy/paste all procedures in place to stop child abuse and use them very same ones for animals. It's the only way to keep all animals safe.

But now, if you dump an animal and its not microchipped, there will be a police investigation.

You haven't attempted to explain anything logically here

Animals are not people: but they feel pain just like people. If pain in people = bad, then pain in animals also equals bad.

Therefore, you admit pain in animals is bad.
But you don't care, because you are selfish. You cannot make a logical argument as to why it is ok to cause animals pain.

Where is your lil brain struggling to perform some logic here?
>>
>>5106549
we should not be causing them pain, that should be our first directive

Are you starting to get it now?

We can use animals, even kill them, without causing them pain, especially not causing prolonged pain nor anything that starts getting to the level of torture

pain is not bad in and of itself little retard and things that cause pain can be beneficial like shots. I've explained my point logically many times, along with everyone else in the thread, and you just cover your ears and ignore it. animals feel pain? so fucking what? that does not put them on the same level as people.
>>5107538
our first directive has and always will be to look out for ourselves. animal welfare only makes sense if it comes from an anthropocentric context.
also, so do you only reply every couple of days because you're hoping to get the last word in? because that's not gonna work ;)
>>
>>5107556

Ok, you've been talking and talking.. and somehow you think you are not proving your point.

I have an easier, simpler idea for you to prove your point: Post a video of you torturing yourself. Like animals are tortured. Drill something in your anus like that woman did to that puppy, break your legs for the camera then have someone step over your broken legs for hours and days, you know, the average torture animals go through

Then you can say:

>feel pain? so fucking what?

Then you proved your point that pain? so what?

But if you cannot endure pain to prove your point, then that means animals cannot endure pain either.
>>
>>5107585
>*more histrionic bitching*
animals still aren't people no matter how much you cry about it.
>b-b-but muh pain!
irrelevant. you also never answered my question about animals hurting other animals, by your own logic causing any sort of pain is evil so we better start prosecuting all those predators

This series overall was incredibly boring with hit-or-miss visual effects and terrible sound design. 50% of what Morgan Freeman said was useless.

That said, this 13 second scene alone almost made the drag kinda worth it. This might be the first time in decades a hadrosaur has been allowed to kick some ass.

Sweating as a direct function for better heat regulation has not been debunked, and neither has fat as a storage for going long periods without food. Apes spend much more of the day eating and grazing, do not travel anywhere as far and wide as hominids, and can digest more readily available foods like plants and such.
Humans needed nutrient dense fats and organs, we got those from hunting and stalking, following herds and having a brain that required lots of energy that couldn't always be met. People in colder climates have more fat deposits, especially in areas exposed to the elements, such as Inuit having frost bite resistance due to their facial fat pockets.
Also, our reproductive organs do not function as well underwater, as water is NOT a lubricant and actively impedes sex as it washes away vaginal moisture, as well as increasingly liklihood of infection by a significant amount.
Aquatic ape 'theory' is retarded shit.
