Y’all should head to anywhere hunting dogs are used. After finishing Hassan you can stop all the other people using shock collars, keeping hunting dogs penned up. Shit we need to go after China for eating dogs too. Our K9 handlers in the Army would fucking smash dogs onto the ground during training. And Kristi Noem admitted to shooting her dog! Let’s get all these fuckers damn the tribe they’re in!!

How come people against breeding animals that end up having health problems (Liger, pugs, dachshunds) don't ever bring up the cornish cross?
3 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>5056562
Because Cornish Cross are perfectly healthy at their slaughter date and they aren’t companion animals that will live with the drawbacks of their twisted anatomy until they graceless expire years later.

Also I’ve never heard anyone call a Liger a bad idea for health reasons. They are bad because they have no value for big cat conservation and just consume resources that could be used for big cat conservation.
>>
>>5056569
Isn't it morally fucked up to breed a creature that can never live peacefully to old age, even if they were designed for slaughter or not?
>>
>>5056571
No because they were bred for a function and fulfill it. If they were bred to die young for the sake of it that would be very different. This is why dog breeds are more controversial to argue as most of the functional uses that come from short lifespan breeds are no longer needed and instead are purely aesthetic like daschunds.
>>
>>5056569
They aren't exactly healthy birds throughout their whole life, especially if you feed them too much food. Very susceptible to leg deformities/lameness, and they can just randomly get heart attacks. Smaller farmers can expect 5-10% mortality and massive commercial operations up to 30%.
Another more interesting aspect about the breed is that almost all of their natural forage and survival instincts have been bred out. They just sit around the food and water all day. If you keep them on grass they'll eat grass and bugs, but they don't really forage/scratch like other chickens.

>>5056562
Because they're stupid.
Stargard shaker pigeons are an affront to nature, but nobody even knows about them.

I've been researching ferrets and I love everything about them.... but how bad is the smell, really?
>>
I'm gonna sound like a stinky fella but after years of having one as a kid, as an adult now remembering the smell it was fine. It's like someone wearing a deodorant.
>>
They smell musky, but it's not that bad as long as you keep their enclosure clean and feed them a proper diet. Also males smell more than females, but neutering them decreases the smell by a lot

32 Chunk is the champion

say something nice about him

>Chunk has experienced the benefits that come with large body size and dominance in brown bears. As a very large, perhaps 1,200-pound-plus bear, Chunk uses his size and confidence to his advantage. Bears that are unwary or unlucky often find themselves under threat when he is nearby, yet even bears as large as Chunk face challenge and hardship.

>Chunk returned to Brooks River in June 2025 with a freshly broken jaw. The timing of the injury during the brown bear mating season and the nature of it strongly suggest that Chunk was injured in a fight with another bear.

>Many questions swirled about Chunk’s fate after he broke his jaw. Bears in Katmai National Park do not receive veterinary care, and the fracture hobbled his ability to maintain his dominance and catch newly arrived salmon. Despite that, Chunk proved immediately adaptable. He adjusted his behavior to avoid most direct confrontations with other large male bears. He quickly learned to eat salmon without the full use of his mandible. Additionally, his large body size still gave him easy access to many productive fishing spots. He remains one of the largest bears at Brooks River.

>Chunk used his determination and adaptability to persevere through injury. He will need that ability indefinitely. His broken jaw is a permanent disability that will never return to normal. Resilience in the wake of pain and conflict is written on Chunk’s face.
