Let's have a thread dedicated to this brave man and in memory of the poor turtle that didn't make it. Thank you Florida man, get well soon. RIP turtle-bro.

>DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Three young men were arrested Tuesday after police said they beat up a Navy veteran who asked them to stop torturing a turtle, according to Daytona Beach police.

>"The one had it over his head and he was smashing it down on the sidewalk," Blough said. "I asked them to please leave it alone, just let it go to the lake."

>One of the men, later identified at Johnnie Beveritt, 18, picked up the turtle and threw it down on the sidewalk; the two other men, Ryan Ponder, 23 and a 16-year-old boy, kicked the turtle toward the apartment building away from the pond

>Blough told police that the turtle was trying to crawl away but was seriously injured and unable to walk.

>"They started hitting the back of my head and started punching me. I was able to fend off a little bit but I mean three of them, got the better of me," he said.

>Blough told police he is a disabled veteran who was seriously injured in the Persian Gulf War. First responders said the victim suffered injuries during the attack including broken skull and facial bones, internal bleeding and a concussion. Police did not know how the injuries would affect him long term.

>Blough's wife set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for his extensive medical expenses. She said Blough will need surgery on his eye after the beating.

>Blough said he hopes the men are punished for what they did and would intervene again, without a doubt.

>"Yeah, I'd do it again and take the beating again if it meant saving that turtle," he said.

>Police found the turtle, dead, floating in the pond in a puddle of blood.

>All three men are charged with aggravated battery and animal cruelty. News 6 is not identifying the 16-year-old.

I'm 22 years old living in a relatively small apartment and wanna buy a dog. What would be the best breed for me and why ?

I have the proper time to care for the dog and take him/her for several walks a day. Always wanted a companion dog. :)

God damn my cat is such a motherfucking nigger. Jesus christ.

His first instinct for literally anything and everything is fear. I think he may have been abused as a kitten, I got him when he was 6 months old. He is so fucking jumpy, fucking manically jumpy.

I'm literally the only thing in the world that calms him down and even that is only 50% of the time. He's got a heart of fucking gold, really, you can tell deep down he's sweet, but holy fuck he is so motherfucking volatile.

I know he has a heart of fucking gold, because whenever I go walk around in the neighbourhood, he follows me around. Everywhere, literally. Even in the fucking rain. He hates the rain like any cat, but if I get some groceries when it's pouring he'll follow me all the way to the store and wait outside for me. He never sits on my lap, ever. It's so strange because he does sleep with me all the time. He loves lying inbetween my arms when I'm working on my paper, he just dreams away. But even then, god motherfucking damn. I was having such a peaceful motherfucking evening, I had a nice cup of sweet buttery hot milk, he was sleeping inbetween my arms, everything was great... And then out of motherfucking nowhere he just fucking EXPLODES all over the motherfucking desk, every limb flailing, knocking my mug of milk over so hard it flung over three fucking quarters of my living room. Everything in a fucking 270 degree arc was fucking SHAGGED. Why the fuck nigger???

God damn this faggot. He's the most frustrating cat I've ever had but because I love the little fucking faggot I'm stuck with him.

I've never posted on this board before so cut me some slack...

I had an idea... its like a dart to mark animals, like a tag. But its placed on the back end of a mannatee and sticks up out of the water with an orange flag so boaters see it, and steer clear of the stoopid seacows...

hey /an/

so ive never actually taken a pet to get neutered before but there's a local place that does it for free on Thursdays. Caveat being that you pay for anesthesia

How much does that shit typically cost?

/an/, I need your help-

I live in a 1/1 with my dog of two years which I got as a puppy. She has always had water bowls (yes, plural) available to her at all times around the house and has never had an issue using them. I have mild OCD, so I make it a point to keep the toilet seat completely down and the bathroom door closed. Idk wtf happened at some point, but now she will literally refuse to drink water for days unless she can drink from the toilet. I have tried everything to get her to drink water from the bowls. I've started adding ridiculous amounts of water to her food just to make sure she doesn't dehydrate, and even bought a different color bowl because maybe she doesn't like blue.

What is going on? How do I stop this behavior? I believe I heard her pawing at the bathroom door last night trying to get to the toilet.
