They actually start out normal and then turn into ugly bottom dwellers, just like 4channers.

>>2378768
Pitbull spider.

>>2378768
Probably one of the old world tarantulas.

>>2378768
Don't remember the name but it's a South Asian spider species, roughly 3-4 inches in size.

Domestic shorthair brown recluse.
Trust me, I'm no expert.

Name it patches

Humanoids wouldn't have any problem with having pets, but it would also depend on the individual. As for how society would react, a conflict between humans and humanoids would arise that's for sure.

>>2378091
Why wouldn't humanoid dogs want normal pet dogs? Lots of humans keep pet monkeys or at least want one.

What most humans would ask first.

>It's like they are genuinely suicidal.

I actually the past three years have seen a shit ton of run over foxes in areas where they easily could have gotten out of the way.

>>2378039
>>2378041
Lots of animals do that. In my country squirrels do the same. They're trying to trick the car by running back past it.

>>2378058
It seems like most animals will never understand vehicles
>drive past quail
>they always bolt upon sensing any large predator
>they just stand in the road upon a car approaching
Not to mention birds that fly out from one side of the road into the front of your car, what the fuck. Even if they see it as nonliving, it's not like you run towards a massive falling boulder.

>>2377788
What a projection. This actually did happen.

They do fly. I encountered flying roaches all over the place in Hawaii. I assume like most things that have wings but don't fly, Roaches are so bulky that they only fly when absolutely necessary and would rather run away since it uses less energy

>>2377547

To be fair, you only hate the cockroaches that come inside.

There's plenty of smaller "cuter" species that are colourful and want nothing to do with your house.

>>2377547
They do fly, only right into my fucking face in the middle of the night when I'm trying to piss

>>2377498
tip: close the seat and the toilet room door after use

>>2378047
Why do they do it when they have fresh clean water?

>>2378065
toilet is exotic and mysterious
humans use the toilet? wtf I wanna use the toilet
and maybe enjoys a hint of piss/shit taste

Back when I was a young liberal living in NJ I gave a bum $100 because he had a GSD. Never saw him again. I like to pretend he used it to get his life together but logically he and his dog probably got robbed and killed for that hundred.

I got followed a bit by crust punks with a kitten young enough that it still needs milk and a pitbull. They wanted our vegan Chinese food(I was out with my cousin who was vegan at the time). I think they were drunk but I felt bad for the kitten so I had them follow me to a pet store near by, bought them KMR and a cheap shitty bag of dog food. Then they tried to recruit me because "we thought you were homeless too".
I wouldn't have given them anything if it wasn't for the kitten. Those kinda people are usually homeless by choice and have short lifespans between drugs and jail so I don't feel bad for them.

Otherwise dog or not I don't really care. I'll give away my change and a couple extra bucks I have on me to anyone who asks as long as they're not being a dick, aggressive and aren't the well dressed guys giving a story about something like bus fare.

i payed for some crust punks to have their dog's prolapsed vagina taken care of and spayed

i went with them and payed the vet directly to make sure the money didn't get used for something else

It's a lot easier than you might think, people are just lazy. Just think of how stupid people were centuries ago and even they could do it.

It's not easy to raise a completely obedient dog but it's also pretty hard to raise one that is a total disaster as well.

>>2370363
I have the feeling that dogs back then were actually more obedient as people didn't overtreat them as much and there was a lot more farming around.

>>2370365
That's the opposite of what the other anonymous poster is telling, so why do you say that?

>>2378353
Just tell her you hate the animals she loves and see how it goes.

She'll probably stop liking you as soon as she finds out what you think of her dog m8

>>2378353
break it off before shit turns tragic - sounds like a dealbreaker

put them in a bag and throw them down a hole

legit that's what my great grandpappy did when his doggo gave birth

he also was a sheep herder in rural Cyprus and it was a different time so that's not a very good idea

I forgot where I was going with this

Call up local rescues and see if there are any nursing mothers who can take on a few more pups. Ask them what you can do in the meantime. I did this with some kittens and the rescue group provided me with formula and care tips until a better equipped foster could take them.

>>2378141
Make sure you boil the milk before giving it to them and than filtrating it so the fat is left also dont give them boiled milk cuz thats stupid. Also try giving them rice water not alot just a few sips it holds somewhat of a caloric weight so they dont get diarehea from drinking only processed milk. Make sure you keep them worm with hotwater bottles or something in 2 to 3 weeks they should be good to eat heavier stuff.

>trying to keep it as a pet in poor conditions (indoors, in a 75g tank, no UVB)

>It's worth mentioning, too, that he specifically told me that he'd found it just outside of 29 Palms, California. This is important because a quick Google search alone shows that the fucking MILITARY sanctioned and oversaw the care and release of a few hundred of these tortoises in that exact area about 7 or 8 years ago.

yikes, yeah, i think you'd be doing the right thing if you alerted fish & wildlife.

Notify the wildlife program you contact that he may act maliciously towards the tortoise if they he has foreknowledge of their visit. Advise them to go to his property in person first to rule out the element of suprise.

>>2377604
Fudge, I meant to maintain an element of surprise* (so he doesnt harm or ditch the animal as you suggested he may)

>>2374403
they usually live in packs, you need to get your house fumigated.

>>2374403
It probably got there one of three ways...it was born there, it crawled in, or it came in on you or something you own. Logic is wonderful...

These things are known to bite in your sleep so until you can get someone in there to clean up I would probably avoid your room if I were you

do you prefer horses with or without fluffy legs?

So where's the Triple Platinum Horse General?
