it's kind of moot because poisonous is subjective

This guy is either fucking retarded or a troll.

>wew lad these trained professionals couldnt give me an answer about basic evolutionary principles.
>im totally not lying to make myself sound smarter xddd

Maybe every living thing on earth is poisonous, but we're all just adapted to eat each other for the most part.

Thats exactly what would happen if all plants were poisonous.

You cant go wrong with a border or a rough collie

All the breeds you're after are awesome but don't underestimate they're all highly intelligent and very high energy. If you're not already very active yourself you might want to look elsewhere.

That being said, you might also be interested in English or Australian shepherds as they're fairly similar to the breeds you mentioned.

I'd recommend a Fila Brasiliero, a Dogo Argentino and a wolf hybrid, get all three, they'll play together. And don't get a fucking pitbull you goddamn idiot. I thought more than enough has been said, shitbulls are fucking monsters, they'll eat you and your kids.

If you're into the occult, I'm surprised you're not going for poison dart frogs.
Or maybe some newts (like every recipe uses eye of newt).

I've been reading Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog, Adder's Fork and Lizard's Leg - The Lore and Mythology of Amphibians and Reptiles by author Crump Marty.

Its really great, tons of lore and legend I'd never heard before even in other books.

The Colorado River toad though, it secretes a substance that alters your state of mind directly. It can be used during rituals to strengthen the trance or self-hypnosis required to program your subconscious with the intent of the ritual.

it's against the law to sell, own or export.

literally anyone you get one from is a poaching smuggler.

yes, I have seen them.

I think something like a mechanical filter or anything avoidance based would not work, this needs something actively dealing with the problem at a cellular level.

One thing that I can think of that wouldn't be too far fetched is macrophages patrolling the lung that actively take up the asbestos fibers and wander to the respiratory epithelium epithelium once they are "full" to be dumped out via mucus, so your creature would be constantly coughing up or leaking asbestos slime.

This isn't too far fetched because we have a system exactly like it in place with our alveolar macrophages that remove dust and stuff. They can't recognize asbestos though because it's too small, so you really only need a small change to make this work.

Also the actual lung cells would have a higher division rate to replace damaged ones.

>>2245705

holy fuck.
drooling asbestos slime. That sounds wonderfully horrifying. Where could I read more about this? Should I just get cracking on a wikipedia article about how lungs work in general?
Asbestos particles are smaller than macrophages? Hot damn

Galapagos marine iguanas do this with salt they consume while foraging in the surf for seaweed.

take a picture of it's enclosure.

If it's not diseased, then make soup. You've hit a rare opportunity on your hands anon, don't waste it.

>>2245550
lol, took me a while to realise you weren't talking about making soup for the turtle

Depends, how much space do you have and what is your budget?

>>2245490
>how much space do you have

About 2 meters or 6,5 feet in all directions

>what is your budget?

Just for the lizard? 200€ I guess.

I think it's a serval, I vaguely remember seeing the trailer and thinking "aw, servals" and my want for a savannah cat being renewed

>>2245392
Spot on. (Pun maybe intended). It's a serval.

wolf spider, it's harmless

jk brown recluse

>>2245383
Seriously? Don't see a violin.

>>2245387
wolf spider. They can get big. Go outside and look real hard in your grass. You will find them all over.

>Friend one sneaks up to about 10 foot away from cow
>Runs full speed and knocks it over
uh-huh. Sure.

Someone explain cow-tipping to me. Is it some sort of American urban legend, or do people genuinely go out in the middle of the night and try to get cows to fall over?

They do know that cows can get back up again, right? And that they can kick and trample and may or may not have horns just right for goring depending on local farming practice.

Like someone explain this one to me.

>I'm not American so I have no idea what cow-tipping really is and if it's even real

dude you really need to get them a tank.

You can have a medium to large breed dog in an apartment without a yard. You'd just need to walk it minimum of twice daily, some individual dogs need more, and mentally and physically stimulate the dog enough so it won't destroy your house.

If you are asking if that yard will provide enough mental and physical stimulation to not have to walk or work with the dog, no it will not. That yard is good for a little bit of play, and shitting, and that's about it.

>>2245316
This. Daily walks don't become optional just because you have a yard, unless you are a ruralfag with acres for the dog to run free on.

>>2245316
>>2245328

I would never not take the dog for walks, my plan is to take it once early in the morning, again in the evening, and possibly even hire a dog walker to stop by during the day when I work. With outings to the woods on weekends. I want the yard so that my dog can at least go outside whenever it wants, even it isn't a lot of space.

sit bull

Looks to be a brown recluse / labrador cross to me.

Worthless shit bull.
