She is a big dog 70 kg and i already asked turkish airlines if they would take her but they said they can‘t she‘s too big. I don‘t trust dogsitters or doghotels. I don‘t have a car to transport her. What should i do?

I don't think you need to peel and slice carrots for a giraffe.

But what if it's a human-like giraffe? When you see a typical Karen you'll see her picking the finest apples then slicing off half in her kitchen, then throw away after two bites.

Depends on how the girl got close in the first place for the full thing. But regarding killing the horse once it happened, no he was in the right, just how he went wasting ammo afterward possibly is bad (saving money is good, especially after a tragedy) or if he wasn't quick about ending the animal's misery (cruelty is useless to a beast). But the fact it killed a toddler is worth punishing severely, in the middle ages they exiled horses that killed people, which was the punishment for nobles found guilty (Western Europe). Tldr, should have not let her close, but after it happened removing the horse is justified and him going ham is understandable with grief and anger + betrayal if he made the mistake of trusting an animal with his family.

Not for killing the horse. Human-aggressive livestock get culled, that's just what you do.

You guys know that if you are holding your ground against an animal, like a dog for example, and scoop your hand on the ground and mime the action of picking up a rock- the animal is conditioned to know to fear this motion alone and will recoil/back away instinctually.

Rock throwing is not a meme, it's real

>>5114131

kek. both true btw.

>>5134863
maybe
but maybe a rock dropped from above could, since the rock would not have to be small enough for throwing

I'm going to have to fly with my old cat INA. few months. I'm scared she'll howl the entire way and I'm worried about sedation because she's 15. what do I do to make it easier for her?

I'd suggest taking her on a car ride to see how she handles long trips beforehand. I guess a plane ride would be pretty different but it'll still give you an idea of what she'll be like.

My old bastard howls nonstop for like 15 minutes when I get him in the car but eventually he gives up and just stays quiet for the rest of the trip.

She will
>and I'm worried about sedation because she's 15
Don't worry about it, I had to fly with my cat and I asked my vet if there was a kitty-cat xanex I could give him, an the vet told me to just get some children's benedryl. Call them to double check the dosage if you don't feel comfortable doing the body weight conversion yourself. As long as there's no asprin in the pill its perfectly safe and it will just conk them out the same way it does to you or me.

that is horrendous
in denmarkistan they count twenties when they get to above fifty, but at least they count halves of twenty as well, so they dont need to mix in 11-19

55 -> fem og halvtreds
65 -> fem og treds

somewhat annoyingly though, that leaves the 90s without a pair for 100-109

Deep sea creatures are harmless. The only aspects of the ocean rational to be afraid of are: drowning/storms, sharks, and venomous jellyfish/conches/whatever, which are all shallow water concerns anyways.
People piss their pants at images of ugly deep sea fish because they're ignorant and don't know they're almost all a foot or less in length; you could crush them with your bare hands. Take the infamous Bigfin squids for example: their body from mantle tip to arms is a foot or so in length. How could one possibly hurt you? Its tentacles are wire thin and its beak is probably less than an inch wide.
The ONLY deep sea creature I could fathom being a rational concern is the Humboldt squid, but even then it has no confirmed kills and you could easily stab it to death with a dive knife if you have no other choice.

this is retarded. That's like saying you'd know by now if a venomous snake was in your yard. No, you wouldn't, retard, not until you notice it. You never know if it's there until you see it. This is very basic known knowns vs known unknowns vs unknown unknowns.
