I don't remember there being significant proof of dinos having feathers until just a couple of years ago, but then again humans are known to be fucking illogical

>>2358598
It is far preferable to think of dinosaurs as some mythical, reptilian super animals that no longer exist, than to acknowledge that they still exist in some degenerated form, as fragile, harmless looking birds that get torn up by our pet cats, and destroyed by shitty little bb guns.

Dinosaurs are skeletons.

It can't happen until people crack down on backyard breeding.

>>2357884
You can still restrict the actual breed, so anyone wanting shots for their dogs, tags, microchips, etc. can't get them unless they register their dog, and then they'd be hit with heavy fines and possibly have their dogs taken away or be restricted from owning future dogs of that breed.

Slippery slope.

PETA is behind the majority of BSL with the intent to make the breed part as vague as possible(pic related allows labs and poodles). They hire the top jew lawyers to make that shit happen and defend every euthanasia. On top of that, the government abuses BSL to the extreme; taxes are raised to support the new regulation, however in nearly every area where BSL is in place, it's a non profit organization that takes on all the financial responsibilities, and they don't get reimbursed at all for it. All the fines and lawsuits goes to line someone's pockets. To make matters worse, these non-profits end up also having a very bad live release rate as a result, which then proceeds to give the shelter a bad reputation and even less support. BSL often opens the door to other laws being passed silently, like how that BSL in canada tried to get away with allowing any city official to search your home at any time without a warrant. Even if it was enacted, it would likely not change a damn thing unless you did random unauthorized home searches. Only scum and thugs would posses illegal shit, and scum and thugs are the main owners of dogs that attack unprovoked. I'd also imagine that wherever dogs are banned, guns would be banned too. It is usually a liberal thing to ban stuff.

A neighbour of mine gave me her(what she called) hamster. If this thing was a hamster it was certainly deformed. It looked just like a hamster in every feature though it's legs were like Pic related. anyways
>Be about 11-12
>Neighbour gives me hamster to look after because her mom was "being bitch"
>2 or 3 months go by and it dies.
>She's pretty sad about it and all
I don't think I really cared that much. Maybe just that he's gone
>She buries him out side in the yard
It's a shared yard because i live in a complex or whatever
>My mate T shows up next day
Same older guy I told you about in the past story.
>He convinces me we should try 'cremate' the dead hamster
>We dig up the poor hamster and place it in a toilet roll
>Salute.png
>light up the toilet roll and wait for like ages
>After like an hour effort to try and cremate this think alls we've managed to do is burn it's skin off
>yellow shit was oozing out of god knows where.
>Eventually left with this hairless burnt corpse covered in yellow goo. truly an unpleasant sight
>We proceed to place it in a container and present this abortion of a corpse to the owner(we knew what we were doing)
>She freaks out, screams at us and tells us to take it away.
>We were laughing through the whole incident
>We obliged her and returned the poor hamster back into its grave and reburied it
I know alot of people have tortured and killed animals but i don't think anyone has desecrated it corpse and grave.
Looking back I still think it was alil hilarious showing her our work.

Where do you live?

Don't worry, though it may be to the dismay of some people, "I found an animal, please identify it from this blurry picture I took on my camera" are a staple on this board. I honestly don't know why there isn't a general for it.

If you want a better chance of somebody identifying it your best option is to give a location, an approximate size and a few pictures from different angles to show any defining features that might help.

I'm no expert on birds, especially American ones but it might be a Chimney Swift.

It looks kind of like a Bewick's wren from what I can see

my initial thought are it would have to be inherently cannibalistic, have a high reproductive rate, and a high tendency to be territorial

Marsupials you dumbshit. They permeated every niche, including flying fucking marsupial squirrels, and marsupial tigers.

Picture of cat.

Shit looks like ketchup

Looks like your cat sneezed so much it cut it's nose and kept sneezing. Is it sick or have allergies?

Very cutie

Come at me

It probably is. can you record the noise? Did you check it on the rat health guide site?
If it is a clicking noise it is a serious infection.

I keep hearing small amounts of dark chocolate helps with respiratory difficulties in rats.

I forgot to ask, what bedding do you use? Pine shavings irritate rat lungs.

No. Also you're a shit owner for leaving your cat and dog together unsupervised.

Are you retarded? Is OP supposed to know his/her dog was gonna kill their fucking cat and have to watch it 24/7? I live with 4 dogs and 6 cats, (8/10 of those animals belonged to and were taken in without our consent by my Mom before she abandoned our family) 3 of the dogs are complete monumental fucking assholes, one has bit me multiple time and we just couldn't get rid of it because my useless mother cared more about the dog then her son's safety, but even still none of my dogs have ever hurt our cats beyond a strong nip that hurt the cat for a while, for OP to somehow anticipate his dog singlehandedly chasing down and killing his agile cat over the course of what I assume is a week or so (As it sounds like Op's cat is new) is just fucking stupid. I hate people like you who think animals can never do wrong and anything they do is always the owners fault.
