Pitbulls are unnatural mutants. Sharks are apart of the ecosystem and have been around for 65 million years. Stay the fuck out of the ocean maybe.

I've been hand feeding a baby squirrel that needs mother's milk. Of course, this is like a full time job. I can't even sleep more than 4 hours at a time.

but this little girl is cute. Whenever I feed her, she will relax in my hand, and twitch as she suckles on milk until she falls asleep

It is your moral obligation to help out your family.
You are more related to a squirrel than a snake.
Ergo, it is your moral obligation to help out your fellow mammal if it is in a crisis.

If it's both very hard and the PH raises over a day, it's likely that your water comes from ground that naturally filters it through soft, carbonate rocks like limestone which dissolve CO2 (and a lot of minterals as you said) into the water.

This is just a fun fact, idk what to suggest to help you out dude. Best of luck

Those are out of place animals. My personal favorite type of cryptid because it's very real and happens all the time with non-native species or a single animal deciding to walk far away from its range for whatever reason.

I think chimpanzees are very interesting and desu, it’s a mindfuck to study them, since they’re so closely related to human beings

The poor boy never hurt a soul, never got inside anyone's property nor did any ruckus at night. Yet the piece of shit neighbor who lives in front of me let her dog (clearly a fighting dog) out for a moment and the first thing it did was run in fron of my home and maul him to death. I was upstairs doing chores, i couldn't save him...
That piece of shit refused to do anything when we asked her to move the aggresor dog somewhere else about half a year ago. So i kept asking cops and the fucking local ministry what could be done, i was told to wait since it's sunday, but even then it's "very unlikely they'd do anything" since there's not a clear law that protects animals from other animals in this shithole, i feel like shit. Rest in piece my friend, i'm so sorry.

Kill the dog, dogs are easy to trick, i know how it feels, dont talk to your neighbour about it, dont even mention anything, learn his routines and kill the dog, feed the dog food so hell learn to trust you, then begin feeding it poisoned food, strychrine should do the trick, godspeed anon, and hey, take better care of your cat next time, shit's fucked

Why was your cat outside in the first place?
>>
>>5049157
I live in a (normally) peaceful neighborhood and the cat used to never leave the yard, but every now and then it would get curious and walk around the sidewalk, in fact that's where it happened. I never once had ayone attack my cats (i had 3, now two) so i thought it would be safe. I know you may think it's my fault but who the hell owns fighting dogs in the first place?
>>
On their property = cats are prey. Deal with it. They are a natural food source for dogs. It would be like bitching about a cat eating your outdoor rat.
On your property = fuck with your property get fucked with back. It is like someone letting their cat loose so it breaks into your house and kills your pet rat.

Make sense?
