You don't understand, millions of ESL teenagers with Steam gift cards are going to think Pachyrhinosaurus could expel noxious gas from its crown

that's no worse than the feathered T. rex

The snake was not making that sound.
Snakes aren't vocal animals.
> It was longer than a foot, easily.
Thats a very small snake

>>2417931
If it is not obvious, I am no snake expert.

more likely you had some other animal, rodent or something, near the snake making the noise. Snakes make a hissing noise sometimes but not anything approaching a meow.

I agree, especially if they were aquatic. It's hard to preserve a soft-bodied mollusk like that. I wouldn't be surprised if there were slugs ten times that size

You can only support antispeciesim if you're a vegan. Unless you don't eat meat I'm not interested

>killing animals for food is not ok
>killing plants is

lel

Worthless navel gazing meme ideology that will only serve to give right wing pundits an excuse to point and laugh and springboard critiques of real conservation efforts.

>have little tabs that you can open them with like a soda or a soup can

I don't eat them, but probably not.

They may find a role as exceptionally large antagonists.

Houseflies are a bad influence and do drugs, mainly cocaine.

you're not suppose to kill moths you monster

I shoot flies with a water bottle filled with water and soap set on stream mode, usually one good hit grounds them

Cats are autistic though

How much would treatment for a cats UTI be?

I want to adopt a cat, but its one of those things where i want to make sure i can financially take care of the fucking thing.

So far it's had 1 UTI and it's one year old. The previous owner assured me it was a UTI and not just a shitty vet using shorthand for blockage/crystals in the urethra causing inflammation.

I dont know what the chances of it happening again is, but would like to ballpark vet visits for that kind of thing. I like in Buttshit, Ohio if that helps.

He was defending himself, are you just supposed to let the dog keep bitting you?

>Fends off the dog, is now known as a shit person.
>Doesn't fend off the dog, dies, is now known as a fucking idiot and own death becomes ironic as all hell.

They're extirpated from my state :(

I've seen one once when I was 16 and I shit my pants.
I was walking alone at night through a small path in the forest to reach a B&B until I saw this weird thing with quills exposed. I froze and let it pass near me. Only later I realized that it was actually a porcupine.

I'd feel better stabbed by one of those instead of our north American porcupines. I've only come across roadkill ones and YouTube's of captive ones being adorable.

>tfw loveable, cuddly animal cannot receive hugs and pets

it can be. i don't believe for a second that most circuses train their animals "humanely". a wild animal will be less motivated by food than fear of the humans jabbing it with sharp things if it doesn't do a certain action.

i don't believe animals enjoy being in shows either. loud, flashing lights, enclosed environment. stressful. thankfully animal circuses in developed worlds are seen as tacky and lame these days, and they struggle a lot. third world? another story. just like zoos.

Depends on the animal and the training.

Domesticated animals aren't hard to train or keep in captivity. That's why they are domesticated. For this reason I don't mind things like trained dogs, horses, and pet birds. Many of them are even adopted from shelters and they make a point of telling you so. As long as they aren't made to do anything extreme and are handled with love, it's OK.

If a wild animal is being trained just to sit still or run on cue, that's not so bad in general. These basic "tricks" are how zoos can show off animals like wolves or falcons. They aren't doing anything especially complex or un-natural.

Now, the un-natural stuff is bad. Often the motions are ones the animal shouldn't be doing and can injure them over time even if the training is not cruel. For example, a bear on a bicycle. That's not natural or healthy for the bear! And then there's the dubious training methods.

Yes it is, one of the only things PETA is right about

Yes, you could probably maim it.
I dislike idle suffering, but i will sure kill a roach in my house.
