Maybe someone here can offer some advice

My neighbor spends most of her day zonked out on prescribed opiates. The little welfare money she gets, she spends on feeding dozens of stray cats. These cats shit everywhere. If I scoop the shit in my backyard, the next day there will be 8-12 fresh piles of shit. Much of this shit is soft diarrhea. In summer, there are clouds of flies that can only be described as biblical. The stench of cat shit and rotting wet cat food is overwhelming on warms days. I have tried sprays, chemical deterrents, scented oils, and sonic deterrents. The sonic deterrents are marginally effective, but they torment My other neighbors dog(who they clean up after responsibly). One or more of the cats are sick, and dribbles diarrhea across my porch and the sidewalk in front of my house.

I have a toddler and a pregnant wife. At this point, the cats are a major sanitary issue. The city and animal control will do nothing.

We live in town, so I can't just start blasting them.

dunno if its mold but mold needs to try out. put it outside during the day but not in direct sun (indoor plants not used to uv of direct sunlight can harm it). after it dries some scrape off whatever it is

Thanks I'll try. It's hard as an apartment rentcuck without a balcony
>>
>>5159295
if you need to keep it indoors point a small fan in the direction of the plant but not directly on it on low, that'll help draw away excess moisture. did you check the soil itself? does the mold go underneath? scrape it all out and maybe get some fresh soil to put a layer on. don't mist or water it excessively until you remove whatever it is
>>
If you give it more light the soil will be drier and you won't have mold problems

Hello /an/,

You are now reminded that Bumblebee season has officially begun in the northern hemisphere. Bumblebees and Solitary Bees are in massive crisis so this thread will be to discuss ways to help them, ask questions about how to plant for them, and general bombus chat.

Note that Mellifera (‘honey bees’) are NOT in crisis, are actually a major culprit in the decline of Bumblebees and Solitary Bees, and aren’t even native to most of the northern hemisphere anyway - so they are banned from this thread. Wasps are fine (but still shit).

Southern Maine here, not really :(
A quarter mile away there used to be a gigantic untamed field, but about 3 years ago they started to turn it into housing with perfectly manicured lawns.
And twice a year the road crew mows and sprays pesticides along the road at almost every house except mine and 2 others.
Think I saw only 3 fireflies this year.

I am a bird enthusiast who loves watching and feeding our local birds.
I am frankly getting really sick of all the house cats roaming around the parks I frequent for my birding endeavors.
I once caught a cat sneaking up to my favorite crow and had to alarm it by scaring it off, temporarily severing our trust and relationship.

my cat is a bright white Siamese, she practically glows in the dark. if a bird lets itself get snatched by such an obvious uncamoflauged predator then frankly it was destined to die anyway as an evolutionary dead end.

People who own obligate dickhead carnivores like cats know what they signed up for.

You are not allowed to get mad at your cat for killing mice and birds. It’s just what cats do.

Hey guys do you think I could get a coyote to mate with my Carolina dog next year's mating season? She's supposed to come to heat around that time. I'm going to chain her up in the woods near where I hear them and play one of those hunter calls on loop of coyotes in their mating cycle.

Gretel is an 8 year old ex-battery hen. As she ages we listen to her and adapt her care accordingly.

This morning Gretel did a great, big hop in the sun and flapped her wings as if she were about to take off. Five minutes earlier she had been barely awake in my arms, breathing slow, tired breaths. I had just crop fed her some avian crittercare to help her keep weight on, applied soothing cream to her dried out comb and kissed her feathery little head. Then I carried her outside, set her down on the grass, and as the sun hit her it seemed to fill her with a boost of joyful energy.

>pic related Gretel a week after rescue and Gretel a few years after rescue.

My favorite part is giving the hen drugs so she won't lay eggs and letting her keep on living as a VERY old hen of her type [probably a Red Sex-Link] with a tumor inside of her. I swear, being a 'farm animal rescue' is a joke that keeps on delivering.

I own dual purpose chickens and I'm more humane to my birds than this idiot is.

I have seen chickens pluck and swallow flesh from a former flockmate raw and bloody. Chickens are omnivorous to the absolute max; there's very little they can't eat.

Which dogs and cats devour packmates alive despite being well fed, amply provided for and in 0 danger of running out of food? Some kind of extra shitty IDF-bred pitbull? Because thats what hens do. One has a vent prolapse and before you know it, it’s a walking vivisection. They are horrendous animals. The people who “love” them keep them in neatly manicured micro-managed pens and have no idea what their natural behavior is like.

There are many cat-adjacent animals like ferrets, minks or even lemurs and so on that are similar on the surface: same general size, long tails, fluffy; and while they're cute in their own way we don't care about them too much, while nothing comes close to the perfection of cats. How just one species won so hard at life?
