Do you wish that you could go back in time and meet extinct pre-mammalian animals?
>>5055671I already haveblood memoryI was there
>>5055797Exactly. You understand, my brother. Something secret steers us. We shall not name it.
I would go back in time and kill off the little ratshits that evolved into modern mammals, actually.

>>5055908because biology is pressured to be a "real sience" so it tries to be like physics or mathematics in an extremely uncaring materialistic approachhere's the articlehttps://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2018/august/the-secrets-of-frog-vision-are-finally-being-revealed.html
>>5054705Froget about it
>>5054705Frogs can somehow not see things that are not there
>>5054705frogs can't actually see but they think they can
>>5055908Because we don't live in a fairy land where you just have to wave a wand and click your heels together and make a wish to learn something you stupid latinxir. If you want to find out how something works you have to take it apart and look at it. That's just this little fuckin thing called reality, you live in it too.

>>5055738there is a normal emotional distance you keep from livestockyou are not going to treat it as a "pet"the kind of people who don't make that distinction are the kidn who are found with decomposing human remains in their basement
>>5055574Eh, countryside folk have always had different standards compared to the civilized sensibilities. That's just how it is, they don't see anything wrong with killing pets, scamming customers, incest, pedophilia, etc. Morality is the civilized man's invention. When you live close to nature, you're akin to a beast yourself, dog eat dog world, etc.
>>5055971Yes they pretend to treat a cow like a family member, then one day killing it, watching the blood gush out from it's sliced open neck is perfectly normal and if you disagree you are a VEGAN LUNATIC.
I need to know what are the most monogamous birds out there. The ones who cannot live when their partner dies, leaves, etc.I am thinking of crows, ravens and owls. And swans
>>5054918Yeah pigeons are pretty monogamous.Both them and lovebirds will eventualy find a new mate if theirs die.Big investment into offspring + well defined breeding seasons are a good recipe for monogamy.
>nice thread about the behaviour of different avian species >immediately pivots to jewswhat sorts of demons are possessing you people
>>5055926None, people just spot attempts at demoralizing sexual posts and associate with people who are obsessed with that stuff notably semitic people. They have a compulsive need to involve bystanders in their fetish. The very notion of romantic love upsets them in all its forms.

Have you ever loved a pet so much you considered it family, would do anything (even give your own life) to protect it, and were/would be devastated by it's passing? I have. Several times. Share your experiences.
Yes. For as long as I can remember, I've had pets. They've been my family, and their loss has pained me deeply. From 1990 to 2005, I lived with a dog and three cats: mother, daughter, and granddaughter. The oldest cat died from a virus in the water. My family has traveled a lot around the world, and at that time, we were in Ecuador. The tap water wasn't drinkable back then, so it had to be boiled. Unfortunately, animals don't understand that, and my cat (a Siamese named Duchess) drank it and died a few days later. I cared for her until her last minute. One day, we went to sleep together, cuddling, and when I woke up, she was dead. I was 10 years old. I'll always remember that. My dog (a German Shepherd named Chispa) died of grief. We were given a female German Shepherd puppy, but some neighbors poisoned her. He became so attached to her that when we found her dead in the yard, along with him, he stopped eating, drinking, and moving, and finally died. It was very painful to see how he didn't fight.
>>5055779Sorry about your loss, sounds like the pibble was lucky and had a very nice life with you.
The daughter of my first cat (Randoll was called Countess) was a lovely cat, one day she went to sleep and didn't wake up and she was in very good physical condition, she was 12 years old, I saw her being born, the first cat, her mother, when she was going to give birth woke me up to let me know that she was going to have the babies and wanted help, I was very young I had to wakeup my mother. The third cat (without a breed she was called Princess) liked to go out a lot, one day she was hit by a car, I don't know why she didn't walk fast, why she stopped, I didn't know what happened, she died instantly, she had babies a few months before dying, I gave them to acquaintances because we had to travel again and there were a lot of babies, we couldn't travel with them.
I didn't have another pet until 2008. My current cat, Lilith, is 17 years old and has been battling osteoarthritis and hyperthyroidism since 2024. She could die any day now. It hurts so much. I live in fear that one day she won't breathe. She's my motivation to keep going every day, and I'll do what I can when she's no longer with me. But I'm grateful for having her and for the time I still have left with her. After her, I don't think I'll have another pet for a while. But if I have to, I won't say no. I love animals.
Although the losses hurt a lot, all the good and bad times lived, I wouldn't change them for anything, if there is a heaven, I hope I can see them once more.
I had to put this bee out of its misery today. It was writhing around and squirming in agony on my deck, it's abdomen was practically separated from itself. Even if I paid him a mercy, I still had to take his life.
>>5055592>detect damage, log the location, and move away from it.Why can't more complex animals do that? It seems like a superior approach to what we do now where serious enough pain can cripple or at least hinder you. If you're running away from a predator and it gets a good hit in, being able to treat it more "logically" and ignore it seems like it would be an advantage over actually "hurting", no?
>>5055592>logically, masochistic behavior despite outward signs of emotional distress is definitive proof an animal can suffer.It only proves the animal can and wants to communicate its experience in a way you'll understand, advanced communication is something observed mostly in very social types of creatures such as dogs, monkeys, rats, many birds, mentally healthy humans, bees>>5055644clearly you have never run from a predator
>>5055644This is why adrenaline numbs pain
>>5055624I had this situation a few years ago, caught a skunk that was 90% covered with ticks.Couldn't have been in the live trap any longer than 6 hours, but it looked like every breath was a chore.22lr did the job, but the edge of my property smelled like death and skunk ass for about 3 weeks.Quadruple bagged that mess and threw away the clothes I was wearing, used a garden flamethrower on the ground to get any ticks that might have fallen off.Still felt bad about shooting it.
>>5055741Oh yeah that's true I guess, but adrenaline only kicks in if you notice a predator and pain can make it harder to keep an eye on your surroundings which makes it easier for a predator to sneak up on you.
