just let it die
animals that are untrainable and out of control are not worth the time or effort

>Tip carrier so the door is facing upwards
>Scruff the fuck out of cat
>Pick cat by scruff and positioned over open carrier
>With free hand, grab cat's back legs together
>Get back legs into carrier and release your grip on the back legs
>Grab front legs, get front legs into carrier
>Push head into carrier
>Close carrier

Its just a cat, just throw it in a carrier, take it to a vet, and get your arms clawed like a man.

I occasionally accept reptiles that people want to give up, but generally only accept ONE healthy or somewhat sick critter at a time that I am confident in nursing back to health on my own with a vet visit or two.
RECENTLY I've been getting dropoffs (cardboard box on the front porch) that are about dead and need either immediate/serious medical attention or humane euthanasia.
That said, I'm not a goddamn charity. I don't take donations of anything and supply my own supplies, food, basic medical care, and make sure every animal is perfectly healthy before I find it a good home. This means several hundred to a few thousand dollars in vet bills per animal. These are just normal/common lizards and such, nothing terribly fancy.
Do I drop a few hundred dollars on a shaky animal I have no history on, do I eat the cost, or do my best for them on my own? Again: I run this privately as a hobby, and it's only recently this has become an issue, today marks the third animal in a week I've had dumped on my doorstep because someone doesn't know how to use fucking google.
So far everything dumped on my porch has been a leopard gecko, all with varying cringe-inducing levels of MBD. One had to be put down, and another needed shots and a special diet. That brings be back to my question.
I do this for catharsis, not to spend all my time and money drenched in sorrow over other people's awful, expensive and completely preventable fuckups. I can only build so many tiny coffins at a time.
I will in the meantime do my best for any animal in my care, but my moderate medical knowledge and training is not an excuse to let any animal go without access to a professional when I cannot offer them complete care.
Feel free to call me heartless, but I am not responsible for other adult people who can't understand how to look up the barest basics of an animal's care and then refuse to pay for their mistakes either emotionally or financially.

You do know you can easily get approval as a non profit, right? I mean you're already sinking money into it while taking in homeless animals, why not become 501(c)3 accredited? It's pretty easy I you aren't making profit out of your work. You can still turn people down and only take in the animals you want one at a time. Nothing will change on that end.

There's an oak tree right outside of my apartment bedroom window where all the squirrels like to play. Makes for a good evening after a rough day
>>
I've seen this special anti-squirrel bird feeder. The perch is weight-sensitive so birds are light enough to sit on it, but when a squirrel gets on it, the perch starts to spin, flinging the cheeky little bastard off.
hey /an/ this isn't my home board, but right now, somewhere underneath my front porch there's a cat that's been meowing for a good 10-15 minutes.
i went outside 5 minutes ago and saw it in front of my house, but i think i scared it off. i can hear it faintly, underneath my porch.
it's cold and rainy, and i thought to offer him some jack colby cheese on a plastic lid, should i leave it out for the cat?

Pits are strong, but have low IQ. European breeds may not be as strong, but they're a lot smarter. No one in any other country has ever invented a herding breed, they're all from the western world.

For example Irish wolfhounds look like old Irishmen. Shar Pei's look Chinese.

Irish wolfhounds arent Irish mate. Theyre a made up representation of what Irish Wolfhounds may have looked like.

but big culture centers like this or that country have dozens of vastly different native breeds OP. The saying is about owners who instinctively pick pets that look like them + shape them with the same lifestyle as their own, not countries.

Bred in Ireland, from Scottish deerhounds who were brought over to the Highlands by the Gaels. They are Irish.

I can't get them out of my mind. All I want to do with my life is help them! For about 3 years they have been my passion... To me this means I love them.
I wanted to ask what anyone else thinks about this? My friend asked me "What is the difference between love and obsession?" and to me the difference is the idea of being selfish.
I don't want anything in return for helping otters, I just want to know I did something to help them throughout my life. It does not matter how much I help, I will always feel like I never did enough. I do not want to put otters second in my life. They are my priority...
Does this mean I love otters?

at least you have something you can focus on. Other wackos - sorry, enthusiasts - are drifting aimlessly with trivial pursuits. I myself would have liked to work specifically with creatures that most people cringe at, but cute is good too

Well it's not just because they're cute. I love them.. everything about them! I study them when I can, and I know 4Chan will probably bring up everything negative about them, but that's also why I wanted to post on here. I don't think anything anyone says will change my mind. I love otters! At least I'm sure I do.

Anyone else against euthanasia?
Animals try so hard to live even in the worst situations, even self mutilating if they must.
Honestly if pets could talk I doubt they'd choose euthanasia as only humans have enough cowardice to accept death.

I absolutely love dogs but I still believe they are an animal and it would be better to put them down then put them at the mercy of tumblrinas and positive only training at animal shelters only to be adopted by idiots playing the victim vicariously through their animals.
>"he is a rescue dog"
>>
Yes! I'm glad somebody finally understands. Don't you just love letting your pets die the natural way? Just like their wild ancestors, my dogs will get to die slowly and painfully. If they're lucky, they'll get to bleed to death or starve. Just like nature intended!
>>
>>2290139
You're humanizing your pet too much.
Animals do not wish for death no matter what.

I've been active on this specific board for a long time now and has become the only board on the website I truly like. Over the past year or two I've noticed a good few threads pop up bashing petsmart and other places online making stabs at it for animal cruelty and the like. So I'm here to answer and confirm/dismiss any concerns you guys have.
Note: I work in the actual pet department of the store so I'm the one who deals with the animals
