Inb4 OUTDOOR CATS BAD

Some vets do this all cats they spay/neuter, not just ferals or outdoor cats. I'm not sure if it's common though, just two of my friends complained their vets did it.

In some city's its illegal to interfere with feral cat populations (not trap and release, I mean harming).

Fun fact, new York feral cat populations are actually decreasing the rat population- something that no other effort has had an affect on in new yotks history.

Also my cat has her ear clipped, she was homeless for years before we became buddy's.

We have this thread everyday

Fuck off

>>2251091
you fuck off you cunt bitch

Why isn't it considered animal abuse to own a cat and dog? You are exposing the dog to toxoplasmosis against its will. You are literally destroying another living creature's health just to have a cat (which doesn't even care about you).

Benis in bagina. And its only porn if a steinberg pays them to do it on film

The concept is fucking easy.
If it was produced to make you hard, it's porn.

We call this the act of mating but there are several other very important differences between human beings and animals that you should know about.

Cute turtles, anon.

Meet Jake, my golden retriever!

Nice pond!

Whats the appeal of owning a turtle?

Do they ever show any kind of attachment or interest in humans?

If you fell over around my old dog she would run over and start humping, it's only time she ever did it.

^hahahahaha

Uh excuse me check your privilege shitlord it's clearly RAPE

Someone ran over a mom raccoon. She had babies. I saw it happen. One baby hissed and ran and the other climbed up my leg and on to my shoulders. Taught that little nigga to catch crayfish, swim, and find wild vegetation. He comes back about once or twice a week and I have him wild berries.

Found pic related as a baby two years ago in late November. It was already freezing outside and he wasn't anywhere near any water sources, so I took him in.

Unfortunately I had already domesticated him by the time spring came, so I ended up keeping him.

Also spotted a squirrel that had one of it's front legs run over by a car, got him to an animal rescue station and they fixed him up, later letting him free.

Snatched an obviously sick cormorant off the pier once and took it to wildlife rehab, if that counts.

There isn't anything wrong with crossbreeding itself, the issue is the vast majority of it is backyard breeder shit and we have way the fuck too many random mixed dogs already and theres usually no reason for it.

Often you can't predict what the result will be, even if you know the breeds very well. Sometimes even crossbreeding different lines in one breed can result in dogs with incorrect bite, ear problems and so on.

because it is better to breed a healthy golden retriever with another healthy golden retriever instead of creating a mutt which the shelters are already full of. The poodle cross running around everywhere are bad enough. Fuck just get damn poodle. They are better dogs than every cross I've meet and most of the crosses just look like poodle anyway so it isn't like you are protecting your manliness with a cross. Never understood the want for a poodle cross when poodles are already such great dogs.

African goose.

Domesticated version of the swan goose like >>2254548 says

Okay so that's a weird goose alright. So how could it end up in Oregon? It it maybe an escaped pet or from a farm? It was just floating down river.

no1cares. they didn't care any of the other times you've bitched about this, they will never care.

Back in the 80s when my parents bought animals they went to the shelter, put down a $20 and a $10 and walked out with an animal in under 15 minutes.

>implying birds are not important

Yeah, they do this at our local dog park, too. I have pretty good recall of my dogs and can pull them out of a chase pack by whistling for them, but that doesn't mean the rest of the pack won't go on sprinting around madly and bowl some kid over.

And, having been bowled by my own dogs before, as a stalwart adult, I can understand how fucked up a kid could get, especially if they're in the big dog part of the park and a chase pack happens.

That said, I've had some really touching moments where little children have taken it upon themselves to play fetch with my GSD and his JollyBall, which we bring to the park with us and then take away again. I've strictly supervised, of course, but the kids seem to love the interaction, and the fact that he'll keep on playing the game as long as they will because he loves playing with that ball.

God, this is the worst. It's a reason I stopped bringing my dog to parks, in favor of sparsely used forested trails around my house.

One of the last times I went, it was exactly that scenario. A 1.5 acre fenced in area, someone let their daughter wander off right in the fucking middle of it, parents at least 300 feet away. My dog was still young, excited at tiny humans, ran over and knocked the girl down. Got her leashed and the fuck out of there, glaring down the shitty parents that lets their kid wander around a dozen completely unfamiliar dogs.

I unleash my dog while I'm sitting on a terrace eating icecream or drinking a beer and it gets pet by everyone.

Moneybags Michael's gentlemanly nature may prove to be his undoing. He's equipped for a fair fight, but Callum doesn't fight fair. My money's on Callum.

>>2252483
Callums mobility is hampered by those shorts he has or. Michael can rub circles around him and poke him with that cane. Only a fool would bet on callum

>>2252483
Michael is obviously well off financially. What would stop him from paying someone to beat the shit out of michael before their fight? I'd have to go with Michael in this one

HI I'M COYOTE PETERSON AND TODAY I AM GOING TO ENTER THE STING ZONE OF THE WARRIOR WASP!!!!
