Like how can we be able to live in propper peace with animals and the natural world? How can we build a future where conservation and human life can go together in harmony? How can we restore and maintain the natural balance of the world?

never gonna happen unless we finally figure out how to preserve our knowledge the next time we get cataclysm'd. but in our hubris we can't even acknowledge we aren't the pinnacle of humanity, just yet another cog in our ever spinning wheel of death and rebirth. half a million years of humanity couldn't find a cure for our collective amnesia. maybe we're just meant to die with our turbulent blue marble?
>>
>>5155285
Humans like forests too, mongoloid. Biodiversity is a good thing. As society advances we have become MORE conservationist, because as a society gets more intelligent it realizes it has to manage resources. Unlike you, who thinks slash and burn farming is the best method.

I found a kitten trapped by the neck and paw in the neighbors patio.
2 months to recover the tissue, 3 x rays and no one noticed what was broken or bent after 8 reviews and rebandages.
At home, without bandage, hid paw bends forward 140 degrees.
A trauma specialist said growth plates are fucked, wait out until he's no longer 3 months and once an adult maybe amputate.

Without a bandage he uses it and has sensibility but barely steps on it, when he has some support he uses it more.

I'm visiting another trauma specialist for a 2nd opinion but apart of a split until he grows a bit I don't know what to do and want to avoid chronic pain for him.

Thanks for any advice.

I mean you're clearly already talking to specialists about it. Not sure how much /an/ can provide beyond that. Maybe it'll get better, maybe it won't.
FWIW losing a paw or leg isn't a huge handicap for a cat.

I'm really disappointed that hyenas aren't actually related to dogs like how lions are related to cats.

outdoor cat owners are the reason they can't really be kept as pets, they die from toxoplasmosis and it's the reason for most of their kittens dying in zoos https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15796012/

up to 70% of their kittens die from toxoplasmosis.

Anyone else feel this year's Shark Week was really bad?
>Sharkzilla Takes New York tried to convince us a ten-foot mako shark was responsible for killing and eating whales, with the lead guy claiming this average mako was Sharkzilla even after a twelve-foot mako showed up later
>Jurassic Sharks had the most retarded AI-generated scenes to grace a TV show and still thinks Dunkleosteus was a 30-foot giant, and it never used the actual names for the Helicoprion and Edestus
:Thresher Shark: Stun to Kill had a lot of badly-done composites of sharks trying to make them look like they were interacting with the divers and their stupid inventions

The need to make everything sensational, copying movies to make thing more exciting, lower attention span requiring shorter scenes, all the usual things.

Did Shark Week start going to shit with the Mythbusters episode?
>>
Even our yearly celebrations have gone to hell, it hurts, bros.
>>
>>5157587
It had been in a slow decline for a while, the Mythbusters crossover probably was a sign they were beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of ideas.
I feel like competition from other cable channels was probably keeping quality up to a certain standard and as people abandoned cable for streaming in the early 2010s the pressure was released and everything went to shit around then.
The last Shark Week that I watched and remember being good was 2010 with Ultimate Air Jaws.
>>
>>5158805
At least the Air Jaws episodes have been consistently good. Shame about the rest, though.

brown recluse
>>
>>5158058
The selected region appears to show a wandering ground spider from the family Gnaphosidae, which closely resembles a mouse spider (Scotophaeus blackwalli) or a parson spider (Herpyllus ecclesiasticus).

Appearance: Dark, brownish-gray body with a velvety or finely haired abdomen that often looks smooth or mouse-like in texture.

Behavior: These spiders do not spin webs to catch food. Instead, they roam across floors and walls at night to hunt for small insects.

Safety: They are generally harmless to people. They are not aggressive, though any spider may bite defensively if trapped against the skin.
