All of those are, to some extent, legal in most places. You can kill a fox and say it was pestering livestock and you can kill a domestic animal on your property if you want. As long as it's humane.

Where I live foxes are protected so even though they kill the chickens my MIL has to pay animal control several hundred dollars for them to come try and capture the fox and relocate it

Like it or not, people place different values on certain animals lives.
The vast majority of the public do not view the death of a single insect as significant, and the law reflects that.
Not to mention the huge grey area of processing these "offenses" is determined on a case by case basis.
If I'm caught dispatching a feral cat on my property and taken to court my case would be handled completely different than if I was charged with killing someone's pet cat, also known as their property. Two totally different verdicts, even though in both instances I basically killed a cat.

I am deeply confused.

Well, their morphology suggests that they're related. However, you forget their other morphological cousins, the sea urchin and the pufferfish.

Due to the fact that its most closely related cousins are both marine animals, I would actually wager that it is the cactus that is misclassified as a plant. We need to update its phylogeny accordingly, and move it to the animal kingdom.

The porcupine is obviously a related species that has since come up onto land, similar to the lungfish.

Was the pufferfish a plant?

I he excercised ebfore you put him in the crate? If he's not excercised he has pent up energy and that might make him anxious, causing him to whine

you don't have put a cat in a crate unless you want to drown it in a river i can tell you that. what a retard of an animal a dog is

>My method is to place him outside for 5 minutes if he whines
In other words:
>My method is to give him some sort of attention when he whines

There's your problem. If the puppy is whining in his crate you can't give him ANY attention. If you don't ignore him when he's whining, you end up reinforcing the whining because he learns he can get your attention by making noise.

Mate it would be done within seconds of your heart stopping.

That's a really interesting question. I personally don't think that a dog would rats the dead body of its owner unless it had nothing else to eat. I'm not sure about cats though. They seem to display affection toward their humans, but I think that cats would have an issue with eating its human.

>>2316411
Dog will eat you as soon as you don't smell like yourself anymore and it's hungry.
Cat will eat you whenever it's hungry.

Why are whales so stupid? Do they want to die?

>About 50 whales had swum out of the bay after high tide, according to the Department of Conservation, but as many as 90 others had rebeached themselves by Friday afternoon.

Is there reasons why whales beach themselves? I figured sick ones may want to stay in shallow water and end up getting washed up but whole healthy pods? Even if their sense of direction was messed up surely at least one of them be like "I don't think this is a good idea, guys".

Kill it...you know just to be safe. You can figure out whether or not it's dangerous after you killed it.

Looks pretty hellspawnish. Best kill it.

Reading through it could be a mix of the two. African Greys are very vocal and intelligent, so it could be just a way to amuse himself that he knows his family enjoys. He gets some amount of positive feedback and is creative enough to make new noises or funny games. The difference between humor and play in this scenario isn't too big. She may be exaggerating for effect or mis-remembering things for a better story but it's not that outlandish. Lots of animals play games like this.

Lots of animals demonstrate laughter, humor, play.

Probably one of the bases for forming society. You can't build a society without learning to get along.
