House centipedes aren't really dangerous to humans. Though a lot of people find them creepy, they do eat spiders and roaches. I usually just put them outside, but you could let it be or kill it. It's your centipede.

>>2374004
Leave him be. He'll kill spiders and insects and is harmless other than being "scary".

This. He'll actually rid you of a lot more pests than that, especially nuisance ones. I wish I had one. I got ants, carpet beetles, spiders and pill bugs. A nice house centipede would be perfect about now. Plus spring is coming.

I'd say a kind of free-roaming park with compatible animals, and a fenced walkway for humans. Or just really huge enclosures with aerial walkways.

There's a free roaming monkey park like that near where I live and it's cool as fuck.

Multiple free roaming enclosures separated by walkways across the park where predators can roam to and fro above the heads of the zoo goers.

Most of the modern "controversy" surrounding captive programs centers around keeping large predators or higher primates or animals far away from their natural climate (penguins). Most captive animals thrive in captivity as is.

>>2373938
Penguins are fine in captivity though if you keep them indoors with a controlled environment. Plus there are plenty of penguins that don't live anywhere near Antarctica and prefer a moderate climate.

Stop letting your cats outside and they'll stop bringing you back dead animals. If you're gonna reply with bitchnigga excuses as to why you can't, kill the cats.

Put up a cat fence. It'll cut down on the body count. Possibly eliminate the rabbit part if the spaces are too small for clueless baby bunnies to squeeze through.

>>2373891
Both of my cats grew up wild when they were kittens and it has heavy influenced their behavior. They hunted for food and they love being outside, hell one of them can't even use the litter box and has to go outside to piss and shit. If i kept them inside all the time it would be hell for them, it's not like a dog.

what is wrong with his chest

>>2373649

He is trying really hard to have no soul.

How did you manage to transmogrify moose in to ground beef?

>>2372670
How did you get ground beef from a moose?

What the fuck is the point of hunting? Buy that shit at a grocery store and stop pointless killing of animals. There's already plenty of animals killed to feed you.

If you're actually planning on eating anything you find, I'd really suggest taking one of those wild edibles courses most areas have. Fucking up with mushrooms can be a very, very costly mistake.

Well, the mushrooms you're likely to encounter varies with where you're located. Where are you at, OP?

In the meantime, posting neat mushrooms with some facts about them.

This here's one of my favorites, Lactarius indigo. It's piss easy to identify for beginners, even if you're not familiar with the typical russula/lactarius shape: just make a small cut on the underside of the gills. If a deep blue latex seeps out, congratulations. You've found one. They're really photogenic mushrooms, and they're pretty tasty as well. The trama of this mushroom has a lot of spherical clusters of cells called sphaerocysts, which give them a nice, thick, meaty texture when cooked. A bit of salt and butter, and you'll end up with a plateful of tasty mushroom bits and a blue-tinted frying pan. They can also get quite large, so it doesnt take many to get some pretty nice portions off of.

This, they are in the heart breaker category of dogs.

Cover it up.

Chlorinate your pool, nigger.

Still not a lot of plants. Plenty room for more.

I don't know anything about rats except that you need to have atleast 2 because they can die of loneliness.

That's so sad yet beautiful in a way. Definitely going to get two then

Cage should be made of wire, 5 feet tall, a couple feet wide.
Line the cage with towels and rags. Don't use sawdust or wood chips.
