Just a thread for the discussion of animal sheltering and animal welfare in general. Share experiences, thoughts, opinions, news, etc. Ask questions, maybe they'll get answers.Here are a few questions to kick things off ->Have you ever been to a shelter before?>Have you or anyone you've known adopted an animal?>Any preconceived notions you had about said shelter that were wrong?>Anything you wish you knew before going to the shelter?3-3-3 Rulehttps://winnipeghumanesociety.ca/3-3-3-rule-of-adoption/Puppy Blueshttps://whatagreatdog.com/navigating-the-puppy-blues-a-guide-for-puppy-parents/Need Help?Comment too long.

>>4898973>already out of the carrier and chilling in the openYour cat is settling in a lot better than mine ever did
>>4899817Yeah it's her 3rd day here and she's fully explored my room and a bit of the hallway and bathroom. She hasn't eaten or drank much though which worries me, just a few nibbles of the canned tuna and that's it, she hasn't touched her dry food. Overall she's adjusting really well

What if you are walking your pets when, suddenly ever single human including yourself disappears into thin air. What would happen to your pets?
>>4899236Anything older than 2 will fail to adapt and die ASAP. Anything over 5 is dead for sure. Most traditional livestock will be dog food and only pigs, chickens, and goats will survive the great doggening. Cats will evolve into a weasel again to specialize on small prey and evade the notice of dogs. Crows will learn to operate technology. Its how it is.
>>4899236>What would happen to your pets?>not realising the reason you would be annihilated to begin with is because of crabs>crabs eat the meat scraps leftover running around without an ownerThis why you should have pet crabs, that way your legacy will have a fighting chance in the new world.
>>4899262cats can already avoid dogs perfectly well, they complement each other pretty nicely
>>4899262Lmao speak for yourself. My girl literally killed a cat a few days ago without my intervention. She grew up catching ducks, rats, rabbits, gophers and now cats.

>>4897924Our cats never caught a pigeon. The tomcat did kill a couple of rats though, that was one of the few animals he always brought dead instead of keeping it alive/half alive
>>4897924Nah, tortoises are better
>>4897929>>shits in a box of dirt in your housein the kitchen or dining room no less
>>4899775That's not the cat's fault, the owner chooses to put where the litter box is

Discuss raising chickens, ducks, geese, quail and other livestock birds for any purpose.Not relevant to pet birds.
>>4898343I’ve got three Buff Orpingtons, the two hens are very tame. Even the rooster is pretty chill.
My black australorps finally started laying.
>>4898492Yeah I had a cockrel and he was basically the same as the pullets (now he's a pet at a dairy farm since I didn't want a rooster)>>4898500mirin, mine are about a month out from laying
>>4898500>>4898798Mine will probably start laying in February

I put my dog down and there's nothing I regret more.I had just got a new job and knew i couldn't take care of her like she needed, i needed this job and now it's gone only like half a year later. I traded my dog that I love for some shitty job because everyone around me was telling me I was being selfish keeping her alive. Now she's gone and so is the job and I have nothing to show for it. I'm going to kill myself soonI'm sorry Sadie
>>4899633If you want to go at the religious angle then humans have dominion over animals, mercy killing them is part of being a ruler.
>>4899641>If you want to go at the religious angle then humans have dominion over animals, mercy killing them is part of being a ruler.>breeding them into basal synapsids because i think they're easier to deal with that way is part of being a ruler>cutting off the fingertips and removing their teeth makes them better pets"A good man regards the life of the beast, but the kindest mercies of the wicked are cruel"For all come from dust and to dust all return.

you're in an emotional state anon, you will not be able to think or act rationally, take a couple of days to think about it. if you treated your dog well, she must have loved you and would have wanted you to live on, if you feel so bad about it, go to a pet adoption center, most of the pets in there never get adopted, so they get put down. save a dog's life, I don't think you have anything to make up for, but if you feel guilty, then you can balance it out by giving the adopted dog a couple extra years of life.

>>4898660The reason why white societies are nice places to live and brown societies have streets littered with mounds of garbage and human feces is because whites hold their neighbors accountable rather than ignoring antisocial behavior because it's "not their problem".
>>4899712If only they’d stop holding me accountable for landscaping fashions invented by herbicide and seed companies. If another white woman says shit to me about how LE HOMES IN SOCIETY HAVE LE GRASS because she can see my vegetable garde i am drawing my fat black cock on her perpetually absent husbands favorite putting green with a kettle of salt water.
>>4899712and the reason why american rural areas are so awful is because if you do that they poison your pets and torch your car. with the sheriffs/deputies help (he is their cousinfather).

>>4898107A chimpanzee on the upper end weighs only 130 lbs (male) and it would wreck you 100% of the time.A male gray wolf weighs less than the average adult male and would very obviously destroy you.Ebola is microscopic and will kill you 80-90% of the time.You, specifically, would get fucked up by this giant bird.
>>4899654>giant bird>max height of largest species is 5'11ok little guy.
>>4899654>a gray wolf would destroy u!!!lmao “humanity fuck no” reddit cucks like you are as pathetic as the “humanity fuck no” manchildrenwolves are weak animals. giant birds are weaker. swing a stick, pussy cuck. dont bother coping in your reply cuck. go hide your pathetic receding chin and noodle arms behind your pyjamas and nintendo switch.
>>4899654Just give me a tree branch thats bigger on one end and a good pile of fist sized rocks and all of these animals are toast. The only people that are inferior to animals are the prey. The vegans, buddhists, the ones who beg tigers for mercy instead of fighting back. The NPC men.

I love birds of prey - from a hawk to a falcoln.

Dodo birds went extinct because they were too kindhearted, too pure for this cruel evil world. Even if they wanted to hunt or poach (which they didn't) they didn't have the speed or flight ability to. They could never fathom that another creature would harm another. The Holocene will never see something so innocent, so pure ever again. And it's all our fault
>>4899220They went extinct because they didn't taste good.
Can't we theoretically just extract their DNA and clone them back into existence someday?
>>4899385They have bones and mummified remains they can extract DNA from
>>4899287If they taste as good as they claim we could domesticate them this time around. Maybe they'd be like big premium turkeys.>>4899414Theoretically someday sure. As far as I know current cloning requires a living egg of the same species so any mammoths or dodos we make would be hybrids until we figure out another way. But we should domesticate and eat the hybrids anyway.
>>4899338they're not bringing anything back in our lifetime. The DNA available isn't nearly enough to do what they did with the cloned sheep and probably won't ever be. If they make any "Dodo" or "Mammoth" like animal, it will be a modern recreation that is genetically distinct from the original.
