Do most countries have an official wildfire animal mascot or is it just US and Canada? Mainly asking to see if there's a country that uses an obscure or funny animal to spread the wildfire information.>oc pic and half-related
>>5123783I thought Canada's mascot was the beaver?
>>5123809they added Ember the Fire Fox (tm) back in 2022 or 2023. Just found out about it yesterday
>>5123809It is
As a pet owner I'd be very concerned about any animals being outside in general.No shot this doesn't backfire and kill some native species.
>>5077123Kiwis leading the way once again
>>5081556The mice need to go as well. NZ is already wiping them out from some islands to reintroduce the kakapo.
>>5077476?? New Zealand still has plenty of its native wildlife even if some are endangered
>>5077123if you oppose this, you hate wildlife and nature
>>5120894Rat exterminators use dogs like terriers to aid them on the job, never cats.
Cats are significantly less intelligent than dogs. They are slightly less domesticated and have the tendencies that come with that (more persistent independent action and innate skills that help them in the wild, reminiscent of the ways chimpanzees and orangutans outperform humans on select tasks), but overall, have inferior cognition and a less rich inner world, while dogs are complex social animals with more going on inside their head.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dogs-when-you-count-neurons-have-a-lot-more-than-cats/Some dog breeds, such as german shepherds, can have over 800 million cortical neurons, twice as much as the average mid sized mutt.Therefore, since dogs psychological needs are greater than their suffering is deeper, public policy should prioritize canine well being, while making concessions to a clean society and the natural order and regulating cats as if they are simply less aware of their situation anyways, because they are.Proposed changes:Dogs must have at least 1/4 acre to roam around in at any given timeIt is illegal to crate a dog except under less than ordinary circumstancesDogs must be allowed to roam in a fenced in park at least once a week, for at least an hour, if their behavioral tendencies allow itSpay and neuter must be delayed until sexual maturity for dogs to ensure proper cognitive developmentDogs must be taken to the vet for a physical and psychological wellness check at least one every three monthsCats must be kept indoorsCats must be spayed and neutered as soon as possible to prevent overpopulationWhen roaming cats are third class citizens akin to escaped rabbits
>>5086351>dogs maul people all the timeFalse
>>5086500lmao these threads are great >>5086599Dogs win AGAIN
>>5086353yea you know whats also ubiquitous to newborn deaths? giving them a little spoonful of honey. they die over everything, humans just kinda suck and are absolutely threatened by everything.
>>5124224Exactly. Babies are retarded. Blame should be placed on the even more retard parents, not the dogs.
>>5120999Dog owners are normal. Cat owners on the other hand...
Podcaster Joe Rogan has warned that mountain lions are running riot in certain states and eating household pets, demanding politicians do more to address the problem.“One of the things they found out in San Francisco in the Bay Area was when they do shoot these mountain lions, they’ve done an analysis of their diet. It’s 50 percent dogs."“They’re doing nothing to curb the population. And this is the thing is like people go, ‘Oh, it’s OK Let nature do its thing.’ No, it doesn’t do its thing. It kills your dog, OK?” he said.He continued: “Fifty percent of their diet is eating people’s pets. So, they’re hunting people’s pets. That means you are, if you’re a dog lover, you’re allowing a monster to eat your dog because you think that’s the right thing to do and to be kind with nature."“No, you have to hunt them. You have to get them the f*** away from you."Rogan went on to share a story about Hanes being pursued by a mountain lion while out for an evening jog and commented: “That is the consequences of letting monsters live in your neighborhood."The host concluded by suggesting that trophy hunting should be rebranded as “monster control” to attract broader support, signing off by saying: “I love animals, but I am on Team People.”Comment too long.

>>5122928grey wolves don't hunt rodents though and don't put a dent in their numbers compared to other predators like minks
>>5084698Joe Rogan is correct about bears, wolves, and cougars
>>5084698WOLVES are also driving down mountain lion populations:https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-wolves-western-united-states-are-driving-down-mountain-lion-populations-180976775/
>>5124128Yet another W for canids
>>5122526>Europe didn’t even feel the loss of lions European civilization would not have taken off if the lions hadn't been removed to make the land safe for humans
They've all cocooned now
>>5122815I remember seeing a shit ton of those in the late 80s. I haven't seen them since
>>5122918They learned... you must wait
They've hatched
I wish I didn't have to kill them on sight.
>>5122815I remember these when I was a kid.

hey guys, do you think a tuna can beat a lion?
Are raccoons too smart to be domesticated?
The perfect mammal [spoiler]and next in line to develop opposing thumbs, hopefully.[/spoiler]
>>5122098That’s an adorable picture.
>>5121278Why is the little man flashing jazz hands at me?
Damn this just unlocked a memory of when my dad shot a raccoon and then discovered it had babies. He felt bad and built a cage in the house for them. He gave them one of grammy's fur hats to snuggle with and bottle fed them
>>5121291>they can mask>talking about gremlins in bandit masksI see what you did there
Without question, the most majestic and awe-inspring mammal on earth.
>>5123327Saying tigers are your favorite animal is like saying Pikachu or Charizard is your favorite Pokémon.
>>5123327>elephants>giraffes>FUCKING whalesNot even close, jeet.
>>5124208>mammalGiraffes are silly
>>5124492I have no idea what the ">mammal" has to do with the rest of your post
>>5123327I beg to differ
is it real or is it a scam? Does it actually understand what it's pressing?
Dogs and many other animals can associate words with meanings, so why wouldn't it understand?
>>5124454the dog probably does understand the words associations but this account has the dog asking more philosophical questions...stuff like "bunny is human" or something or "what is dog" etc...so there's a good chance it is staged for views. because it's social media.
>>5124454pavlovian conditioning != comprehension
>>5124493I'm less interested in that because its obviously not understanding but instead the more common wordswhen it says "stranger - animal - outside" does it understand what its implying?
Who's ready for more of our parks to be sold to logging companies?
>>5123988>be rightoid>be ignorant of history and the political party flip-flopping that happened in the 60sBig surprise
>>5123993>le flipNever happened those decrepit old fucks never changed. Thats just a meme to make you feel good. All politicians are evil and deserve upcomannce
>>5124096>le both sides!Funny how common this sentiment has become since 2024

DESIGNATED SHITTING PENGUIN
>>5121955>>5122791So I guess getting covered in this stuff isn't that bad for them if they still stay close to each other in large groups while projectile shitting in random directions
>>5122791poop niggas be like
>>5122807Many animals like elephants and hippos will eat their own poop
>>5122807>>5123345it's nutritious for penguins
>>5121955why do penguins poop so much compared to other birds?
