Or, something as far removed from the tragedy that is inbred animals (purebreeds)

The streets or wilderness.

Feral dogs from some 3rd world shithole are exactly what you're looking for, they're usually completely generic in appearance and thoroughly devoid of personality/talent.

He does this because he is a cat and cats are shit pets.

Get rid of it unless you want your house to smell like ammonia for the rest of your life.

>>2234143
most of the time when a cat suddenly stops using the litter box it's a health problem.

you can try adding an extra litter box, there's also some special litter by dr. elsey you can try.

>>2234143
Sweet speaker!

I don't know shit about cats.

be sure to take good care of it

Is it a puppy? Puppies can't hold it in for extended periods of time.

You need to hit him when he does wrong it's how young puppers learn.

>>2234029
Crate train him.

>inb4 assblasted Swedes and Finns crying about muh feelings

The puppy will instinctively not want to piss and shit in its crate and know that it needs to hold it. When you get home let it out and immediately take it outside, carry it outside the first few times if it wants to immediately piss on the floor. Very quickly it will associate that outside is where it's supposed to piss and slowly but surely it will be housetrained.
The idea of crate training is that when you're not actually doing something structured like playing, walking, training or something then it should be in its crate controlled. That way it's not learning bad habits by chewing shit and not having opportunities to shit and piss inside.
Do that for a few months early in its life and you'll soon have a housebroken dog who won't destroy shit. Then you won't need to crate him except for special circumstances.

This is not cruel. Not inhumane. It's safe and effective. Only assblasted Yuros and Ausfailians seem to have issues with it.

Are you serious?
Trap avoidance is not a genetic trait nor do fruit flies actually have a culture of teaching these skills to their offspring.

You can make them avoid the smell of paper and plastic(which is what traps are made of), right?

And also, it's not like genetic traits are hardcoded, they can develop over generations.

Most are notorious for destroying root structures on lawns and garden plants.
I would shred some good eats (apple, carrots and such) or throw them in a blender for 2 seconds and mix it in.
Pretty sure they'll eat almost anything organic.

Keep them at room temperature; use the rotten wood you've found them in for now and check once a week how much is left. When most of the substrate is consumed, replace 2/3 of it with new substrate and if possible from the same location; large grubs commonly eat white rotten wood; you can also mix in some rotten leaves. It might take a year or longer until they pupate and evolve into beetles.

>have other dog also on leash at safe distance

>treats and pats for good doggo behavior

This takes a long time, but once your dog understands, he understands. Make sure you use many different kinds of dogs of different temperments and sizes. Start with calm ones and work your way up. The goal is to teach your dog that other dogs aren't a threat (you want him to associate calm behavior around other dogs with treats and attention).

What should one do when the dog starts growling or snarling at the other?

I've lived around Ames my entire life and have never heard of anything like this.

Me and my friends were literally hunted in their backyard. I can't make the shit I saw up. My friends have some experience with this pack and think they know how they operate.

Most attacks by "coyotes" are done by coydogs or just flat out dogs because people are stupid and don't know a coyote from a brown medium sized muty. That being said attacks are still rare, so it's probably bullshit.

I'll start with rabbits;
>Skin and tan hide for rabbit hide stuff
>Meat/heart/liver for eats
>Feet for luck
>Brains and fat for tanning
>Guts for bait/compost/pet food
>Boil bones for broth, then crush for bone meal
Did I miss anything?

any tutorials on how to skin a cat?

>>2233823

That seems like a great way to get shit all over your back.

I hope you enjoy your stay in the ICU

literally evolution bro

if you don't want to mate, you go extinct

>>2233725
>But why? What does anyone have to gain with that? Why does everyone wants to reproduce? Why were we programed to want to pass our genes so much?
Not going extinct is kind of a big deal for a species.

>Why does everyone wants to reproduce? Why were we programed to want to pass our genes so much?
Because everything that wasn't hardwired to do that is dead. Obviously the ones who didn't give a shit about passing on genes are gone

A hotdog technically isn't meat though. It's a cooked, processed thing with artificial shit and filler material. Will it harm the snake, probably not, but it's just idiotic to pointlessly add dumb shit to a pet's highly-specialised diet for Internet points.

>>2233717
this guy stole all the good points to make

>>2233717
It really depends in the hot dog but to say a hot dog isn't meat is pretty ridiculous, sure there's lots of salt and preservatives in there but most hot dogs nowadays are going to be all animal protein aside from that.

I agree there's no good reason to give it to your snake. I wouldn't even give it to a dog.

Look at your picture. Look at it. Literally what information does that image convey to aid in identification, other than the specimen is vaguely spider shaped?

Removing yourself from the gene pool would be a good start

Crabs are not human, Its a Crabanely

crabs luckily don't feel pain.

that would be horrible for an animal that sheds it's skin and loses it's arms and legs constantly while rocking a survial rate that's barely above zero.

>Asians and humanity when it comes to animals

KEK

Regardless whether crabs feel pain or not, I don't see why he couldn't just slice a knife through it's head/face. It's a lot quicker and humane than whatever he just did there.
