It's perfectly acceptable.
Dogs are crepuscular, walk 'em and play with 'em a bit before work and they will chill until you come back and engage with them again. Assuming you have done the bare minimum like giving them different places to rest, a few chew toys, already established what not to chew on, etc.
This is for adult dogs (3 years and up), you do need to be much more involved until then, but all you need is a dog walker to show up around noon and that adolescent dog can chill the rest of the day. Puppies should be supervised closely until they're around 6-8 months.

the scenery sounds like it definitely needs a pond, industrial areas are far too gray for my taste, cool frog though, good camouflage too :)
the only time i ever got close enough to a frog to take a picture with my phone(this was in the flip phone days) was crawling extremely slow on my stomach like a soldier maybe that's something to try out if you haven't yet.
one time an elderly couple walked by and had a good laugh when i told them i'm doing it to take a picture of a frog. sorry for the rant lol
anyhow, i think a camera that can zoom is definitely a good investment to consider, especially since you go out to take pictures once a week
>>
>>5168353
I wouldn't call them scavengers. Turtles usually catch live prey. Ones like box turtles eat berries and fruits as well. Salmonella isn't an issue unless you constantly eat raw turtle meat. I'd be more concerned about other parasites raw turtle meat might have. Pigs can give you some nasty ones as well if not cooked properly.

And no refrigeration. Shellfish and pigs spoil faster than other meats.

I'll give it a try, but the banks of the pond are pretty steep in most places so I'm kind of limited in where I can do it.
>a camera that can zoom is definitely a good investment to consider
I'll have to see if I can find one for cheap (or borrow one from a friend). Hopefully I'll come back with some better pictures in the near future if it isn't starting to get too cold for the frogs to be out.

is there any reason we don't just kill seagulls to protect baby sea turtles?

Gulls are not an invasive species like feral cats or cane toads, the threats to sea turtle populations are anthropogenic (light pollution and plastic garbage for example) rather than anything related to predation anyway. There's already conservation programs that protect sea turtles, like protected beach sites and hatchling releases.

So around 20-30ish percent roi? Sounds like the beef sells for almost exactly market rate of around 2 and some change/lb live weight. That's not too bad at all for wholesale like that. I thought doing wholesale beef like you are gets under 10, but maybe thats for the really cheap feedlot style ranches that do thousands/year.

It's really not worth it to grow them to slaughter weight and then sell to some random person unless you get way over market value for it. I could charge an arm and a leg for it as it's grass fed and antibiotic and growth hormone free deliciousness, but still not worth it to deal with people being a pain in my ass. I do sell some as butcher beef when they have frozen ears, or tails, a bad case of pinkeye, a bad joint, or a knot on their jaw. (You get 3-4 every year running ~ 200 head like I do) If you take them to the sale you can get seriously docked for those kinds of things so it's better to sell them as butcher beef in that case.

I do also have lower inputs than most. Lots of pasture, usually only have to supplement feed during the winter, and have fields to turn the cows into for pasture. Make my own hay. I used to sell hay to horse people, but that's a giant pain in the ass dealing with those Karens. I can make more money feeding the bales to my cattle and keeping a few more head around than I ever could selling it to those assholes. Also the organic material and manure return to my fields keeps my fertilizer bill lower and is overall better for the land in the long run. I need to get into mass producing some bio-char from brush and tree removal as I clear my overgrown land for better pastures too. I've already got the chip drop people dumping a shit ton of chips next to my corrals that I use for bedding down cattle and after the cows shit and piss all over it in the pens it decomposes and gets spread on the fields.

>>5174126
>while you do your evil work

I'm gonna go ahead and LOL at this once again. My cows live a life of luxury. But I guess you might as well want me to die and go out of business so some corporate farm can take over my little portion of the cattle market and tweak it for maximum dollar gains at the expense of proper animal husbandry.

No that wouldn't work since chimps are too fast. What you need to do is retreat to the attic and grab your old xbox 360. The moment the chimp sees it, it will turn 360° and start walking away, leaving its back wide open to attack.
>>
>>5173976

>>
>>5173976
I'd like to add that in case you don't have a 360 lying around, a ps3 or ps5 will work similarly, though slightly less effectively. What you need to do is grab it and tell the chimp that you were just about to set it up to play some games. At this point, the chimp will be compelled to point out that the ps3/5 has no games and start laughing uncontrollably for a few seconds. This will be your opportunity to grab the nearest sharp object and stab it to death or submission.

Population control, mainly through disease transmission.
>>
>>5174128
Bedbugs don't spread disease. That's actually one of the most notable things about them. And that's probably because having humans as a host is extremely recent, like only in the past 10,000 years and probably less than that. They require not just humans using consistent bedding in the same location, but also some degree of urbanization to spread.
Diseases simply haven't caught up to them yet. All they do is take a little blood you're not using, and then shit everywhere.

If you were to forcefully palm someone's nose into their brain, you will kill them. It's a dangerous last-resort if you are absolutely in need of self-defense.
