Ami perro lo atropellaron hace unos meses y ya no puede caminar, aún tiene sensibilidad en sus patas y a veces las mueve pero no lo suficiente para caminar. Lo lleve a un veterinario gratuito y buena gente que hay en mi pueblo y me dijo que su puede recuperar su caminar si es que se le hace una operación. Mis padres son panaderos ambulantes y no pueden permitirse pagar la operación del perro ni el transporte al veterinario de la ciudad. Me an dicho que si el perro no está bien para dentro de 2 semanas, los van a dormír para siempre y no quiero que eso pase porque es casi mi unico amigo y daría mi vida por el, aparte solo tiene 3 añitos y está muy joven y a él le gusta correr y yo onions el único que lo cuida. No se que hacer porque no me dejan salir mucho de la casa y no tengo dinero. Alguien sabe alguna manera de hacer dinero para esto o de salvarlo porque no se que hacer

First time dog owner here:If I want to treat my dog by buying some raw chicken from the grocery store and feeding it to her, do I have to cook it or is it better to give it to her raw? If raw, should I let it sit out for a bit and become room temperature? Should I buy the kind with the bones still in them or boneless? The dog is a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever.

hi, i'm kind of in a pickle here and any input would be greatly appreciated.Pic related is my family's cat, she's 11 years old and recently she had a surgery to remove a tumor from her paw. After a biopsy, we found out that it's a malignant tumor and our vet strongly recommended that we started the chemotherapy already, and that we don't need to worry because, other than taking her to the clinic once a week, she would get to extend her life expectancy with comfort. Another veterinarian asked for an xray of her chest and it was established that her lungs are clean, and that amputating her affected leg would probably "save" her from the cancer and she would get to live the rest of her life normally (except with 3 paws).which vet do you think makes more sense here? did you ever have a pet with cancer before? what did you do? I've been told chemotherapy side effects are a lot easier to handle for cats. Any experience you can share would help me get at least some sense of the situation.

>>5085189>No central nervous system >No brain Unless there's a way to circumvent these requirements for consciousness, then it's a no go. There's no sane line of logic currently to suggest consciousness of plants and trees.
>>5085189yest. tree
Definitely on a very different (lower) level from animals, but they do respond to stimuli and transmit signals internally, so I don't see why they would be perfectly unconscious. There's no reason that transmitting signals with nerves is magic.
>>5085189I believe there's a state of awareness in trees and plants but it's not at a level we can comprehend. they can't move and rely on their genetics to adapt to an ever changing environment, I'd think there's a degree of will in their decision making, kind of like some trees getting fooled into turning leaves orange early after a cold spell.
>>5085548Dear tree anon,Stop fucking cumming in the air. I have to live on cetrizine because of you.
hi /an/, what is this?

>>5085609lmao so i see what's happened here:>This is a bug my friend and I found on a housing estate in the north east of england.i am the friend in that story. i don't know if it was far back as 2013, but it's one of those mysteries we discuss and try looking into over the years.today i decided "fuck it, maybe /an/ knows" and i suppose she did the same over on Reddit earlier this year.>>5085610>>5085618so i'm not a bot or Reddit reposter, i just had the same image. maybe i've swayed a robot towards serving more polychaete content. i can live with that.sorry /an/, wasn't trying to dupe yous in any way.>marine polychaete wormlooks like it might be what it was. bristle worm, maybe?
>>5085626this thread was made at 2am in england and the apologetics come only when bots come up just on time>i am the friend>but also>i just had the same imagehmmmm. ai-ish behavior. its engagement bait

>>5085631>>5085636it's now ten to eight. i am still awake. here is a quick snap of some Yorkshire Tea (malty biscuit flavour).she and i will have a larf about this when she wakes up. but yeah, time to read that Reddit thread in full, and thanks to the anon who gave the correct (? i think) answer.

Podcaster Joe Rogan has warned that mountain lions are running riot in certain states and eating household pets, demanding politicians do more to address the problem.“One of the things they found out in San Francisco in the Bay Area was when they do shoot these mountain lions, they’ve done an analysis of their diet. It’s 50 percent dogs."“They’re doing nothing to curb the population. And this is the thing is like people go, ‘Oh, it’s OK Let nature do its thing.’ No, it doesn’t do its thing. It kills your dog, OK?” he said.He continued: “Fifty percent of their diet is eating people’s pets. So, they’re hunting people’s pets. That means you are, if you’re a dog lover, you’re allowing a monster to eat your dog because you think that’s the right thing to do and to be kind with nature."“No, you have to hunt them. You have to get them the f*** away from you."Rogan went on to share a story about Hanes being pursued by a mountain lion while out for an evening jog and commented: “That is the consequences of letting monsters live in your neighborhood."The host concluded by suggesting that trophy hunting should be rebranded as “monster control” to attract broader support, signing off by saying: “I love animals, but I am on Team People.”Comment too long.

>>5085562>Duh hunters are enough to control deer >famously overpopulated and diseases run rampant from the unculled herds I hope your kids get eaten by a cougar oh wait you don’t have any.
>>5085576>pass more gun restrictions every year, publish constant propaganda denigrating all aspects of traditional life, make it increasingly expensive and time/cost intensive to hunt>look, respect nature. we need giant killer cats. and we wont be paying any professional hunters because we need that money for refugees (from the conditions they naturally create) and killing animals is not progressive or moral under how i think atheism can still be moral. dont let any pets in your backyard or leave the house after da-WHY ARE YOU VOTING FOR TRUMP
>>5085577>WHY ARE YOU VOTING FOR TRUMPIf only we’d known what a disaster that would turn out to be
>>5085591Are you kidding? It has been the opposite. A government too stupid to lie, and too stupid to do evil with some tact, with excuses! Under biden, epstein was an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

My cat has gotten this bird, I rescued it in time but it is badly injured. What can I do to help him or at least ease his pain? I feel awful. I cant stop crying
>>5085589anything akin to a wildlife rehabilitation center near where you live?? just try to keep them as calm as possible, put them in a box. don't feed them or give them anything to drink
>>5085590I can only take him by the morning, everywhere is closed by now where I live, I am worried he wont make it til then... He is safe in a box, has clothing around to make him warm. I dont know what else I could do
>>5085594i think they will be alright given the shock hasn't killed them already. you do need to take them to a vet ASAP to get them antibiotics and checked out, but you've done everything you could've done...except in the event of this specific injury, you shouldn't have given them food/water, but you really did try to do your best for them, that's obvious. take my advice and don't check on them frequently, only once before you sleep and once before you take them there. good luck anon
>>5085588Bad keety
>>5085588>>5085594Cat bites and scratches are virtually always fatally infectious to small animals, especially birds. Even with antibiotics from a wildlife vet administered immediately chances are slim, let alone if you have to wait a day. Put it out of its misery or get someone to do it for you

Pitbulls and Rottweilers make up 77% of all fatal dog bites, despite making up only 6% of the U.S. dog populationPitbulls are 2.5x more likely to bite in multiple anatomical locations than other breeds.Pitbulls are responsible for 60% of all injuries and 63% of ocular injuries.Pitbull terriers are 31% more likely to attack an unknown individual than other breedsPitbull terriers are 48% more likely to attack without provocation than other breedsPitbull attacks have higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than attacks by other breeds.During 2005-2017, pit bulls killed one citizen every 16.7 days, totaling up to 284 Americans. Rottweilers killed over 105 people during that time period.From 2005 to 2017, Rottweiler and Pitbull attacks contributed to 76% of all dog bite deaths.When comparing 2005-2010 to 2011-2017, Pitbull attack deaths have increased from 58% to 71%. Alternatively, Rottweiler deaths decreased from 14% to 7%.According to a 13-year data set, pit bulls caused 72% of attacks that killed a person 10-years and older vs. all other dog breeds put together.From 2005 to 2017, 54% of fatal attacks were inflicted by family dogs. Of that 54%, 64% were done by pit bulls. 52% involved killing a family or household member.When examining a 13-year data set, 54 fatal attacks included a dog killing its primary owner. Pit bulls were the cause of 63% of these deaths, over 8x more than any other type of dog.Between 2015 to 2017, only 21% of fatal dog attacks resulted in criminal charges. 75% of these cases involved a pit bull.It is estimated that by 2021, pit bulls would have mauled 441 Americans to death since 1998 and killed 515 Americans since 1980.The U.S. Army has banned pit bulls from military housing due to their dangerous nature.

Why /shouldn't/ we genetically engineer ridable birds?
>>5084764>What stops the chocobo from just turning its neck and biting you in the face?Birds don't have teeth, retard
Wouldn't make sense to. Birds aren't built with strong spines. Would make more sense to pigion man a flock of them
>>5085033Yeah but with genetic engineering we could give them stronger bones
>>5084457humans aren't smart enough to genetically engineer things on that level.>"durr, they made a piglet fluoresce under UV light tho?"not nearly on the same level. you would basically have to build a new organism from the ground up.
>>5085342Yes, what did you think I was implying, anon? Obviously we are not on that level yet, however, should we be one day why /shouldn't/ we create giant friendly birds that can be ridden like horses?
