Given what we know of domestication patterns and genetic engineerrng, and experiments with Russian foxes in the past, a good marriage of advancing scientific technology and safe exotic pet interests would be to create domestic or pet-safe alternatives to many creatures.

Designer racoons, teddy bears that only get as large as retrievers, etc.

Agree/disagree?

Yeah, can't wait for horrifically crippled 'baby' horses, decorative limbless cats and goldfish without assholes so that the owner doesn't have to clean the tank.

Try and find a Facebook group for dog homing/recue in the area rather than calling a warden or taking it to a shelter.
Most shelters they are put on 21 day kill lists.

Hey /an/, I'm planning to get a doggo, but I'm not gonna do it until I feel truly capable of taking care of it, since I never had to care about a dog in my adult life. Can you suggest to me the best book or site about dog care and education? Something exhaustive, modern, no bullshit.

Guys, i need your help. Can you dump your folders and post pictures of the pleistocene? Pls, only megafauna from europe and or asia, thanks.
You can post pictures from an ice age or interglacial as well.
Bonus points for muskox, Bison or wooly rhinos.
Thank you guys so much!

Is having an ant farm ethically defendable? Like, is it okay to hold ants against their will between two glass panels for the rest of their lives where they are unable to form a real colony?

Also, are they unhappy?

Ants have no concept of happiness. They only care if a nest is suitable for them and their brood or not.

But these classic ant farms are antiquated shit that aren't really great for keeping ants. Something like pic related is much better.

I have seen a lot these family vlogs channels lately, I just ignore them for the most part. But then I saw this video while watching pet videos. From what I could tell these people are the usual shitty, clickbaity content you would expect.

I looked and thought it was about a boy losing his pet Bearded Dragon, I have one myself so I thought "why not?"

After I watched it I was shocked by what I saw. These people had no knowledge of how to care for the animal, and they had their little spoiled ass kids take care of it. Watch the video and see that the lizard was too skinny and likely died from starvation and neglect.

They tortured a animal to death. Dislike them and let's kick them off youtube

Done.
But it will not kick them off Youtube. Their low quality content didn't.
I felt sick at the sight of their thumbnails, I watched a few minutes of this shitty vlog. I'm not a vlog guy, but damn that's the worst "popular" channel I've ever seen (worse than most Top 10 channels, yes).
The worst thing is that they KNOW they are awful pet owners. But their shitty channel is centered around the family concept, and in their mind, a family must own a pet.
Kids allergic to dogs, too dumb to keep a cat at home or a bearded dragon alive. Stick to plants FFS. When you'll keep an orchid, then try goldfish or guppies.

I heard they make really shitty pets. They require lots of socialization and at most they'll bond with 2 people, but that's a big maybe. And even then they're still assholes. So let that be a warning to anyone considering them as a pet.

Get an akita instead senpai, they're cooler than the japanese Corgi and will get you laid.

But 1100 depends on where you live.

They're difficult to train so I wouldn't recommend it if you're a first time dog owner.

If a shibe would make you happy and you think you can handle one, sure.
