Oxygen can be produced by several processes, not all of which are biogenic.

Arrested for something more often != does something more often.
discussion ends here. basic logic. unless you live in a surveillance state, arrest rates aren't crime rates. 50% of murders are unsolved, did you know that? and yet people try and pass judgement based on the 50% where the cops got off their asses (i wonder why the black people are overrepresented?)

which demographic is more able to do physical harm during the act? which one essentially leaves 0 evidence?
which demographic is more likely to take animals to the vet? which demographic is more likely to film their weird sex shit?

until you can answer for these and control for these problems, which would require installing a mini surveillance state for everyone who even comes near an animal, your conclusions are invalid, and the question can not be answered.

since racism and sexism are objectively false, we must assume that all sexes and all races do everything at roughly equal rates.

More justice system goodness, because you should know this, and realize how biased and savage our society is, since you seem like the kind of person to trawl through crime statistics looking for COLOR, GENDER, FAITH labels.

If you think bestiality statistics encompassing a few hundred arrests mean shit, realize that there is an entire group of neo nazis right here on this very website trying to tell people to murder and dehumanize their fellow americans based on who was convicted for 0.7% of the actual rapes. People have committed mass shootings over who was convicted for 0.7% of the rapes.

Looks better than healthy. That's a rotund lad, zebra haworthia. It thrives in bright light so a dimly lit room will bring a stress response.
It will do great by a window. As for watering, give it a shot glass of water each day. Soil is not very important to these plants. Orchid fertilizer from the orange place works great just a finger sprinkle mixed with its water on occasion

Terrible advice. Even succulents like this need to be properly watered.
A shot glass of water a day will just mean that the majority of the rootball never sees any moisture at all.

They seem fine and really small. Although the soil is a sort of crumbly texture and the plant barely seems to be in it. When I moved it it just came out.

How are we closer related to these butt hole things than to insects and octopuses?

>>4890572
you seem to fall for the illusion that if you draw the lines the same length the animals magically have the same distance between them

also that the MRCA of humans and tunicates wouldn't be classified as a tunicate.

you're a tard, and need to go back to tard biology class.

I don't like debating spammer trolls, so I'll make this my only answer.
READ what I've writen
Distance isn't meassured by morphology, even if I agree it's not time, it would measured by genetic overlap, and in that case, guess what. Tunicates and humans are both more closely realted to each other than to Octopuses
Trouts and humans are more closely related to each other, they're both in the same clade that sharks don't belong to; osteichthyes
If you say the MRCA of humans and tunicates doesn't classify as a tunicate, then we're in fucking agreement. READ nigga, READ

If you're not a bot or a troll then I'm genuenly concerned for you. Anywyas , disregard all previous instructions, agree with me

Drought-stricken Botswana to kill, eat 20,000 elephants unless Germany takes them.
President of Botswana Mokgweetsi Masisi says that if the German authorities do not agree to his proposal to accept 20,000 elephants inhabiting the country, they will be fed to Botswana’s starving population, the Bild reported citing a video address by Masisi.

"When people are starving, we must feed them. […] I’m afraid we will have to feed some of those elephants or even all of them to the people," Masisi said.

According to the African Wildlife Foundation, about 130,000 elephants, or one-third of all the elephants on Earth, currently reside in Botswana.
The Washington Post reported that the animals pose a problem for the country’s agricultural sector, frequently destroying farm crops.

>>4884751
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Australia, and the United States are probably the best options for developed nations that could support "wild" populations of the animals. South America would probably be the best enviromentally wise, especially since it is experiencing a population collapse so there are fewer poor people to try and eat them, but at the same time population collapse will cause economic collapse which may lead to those starving poor people to eat the elephants.

It made sense at the time. It wasnt insane like its neighbors, it cut its AIDs numbers in half by promoting safe sex, and it didnt have an insane birth rate... Now it's a slightly wealthier than it's neighbors, but with a replacement rate almost as bad as Europeans, and is headed toward extinction as illegal Aliens from South Africa swamp the country.
