I mean it's walmart so I'm sure everything is taken care of horifically, but algae on a snail's shell isn't harmful at all.

>Ants, what is their endgame?

Surviving and maintaing their species what else.

They make good pets too.

>ants, what's their endgame?
What the fuck kind of retarded question is this?
Do you have brain damage? Downs? Just not very bright?

They're building underground bunkers so they can survive the inevitable nuclear holocaust. When humanity is wiped out, they will devour our corpses and use the radioactive fallout to gain superpowers.

Cute dog.

I've seen these kinds of videos before. The owner likely has schizophrenia and possibly also OCD. Their actions may be strange, but these dog videos aren't exceptional.

This is unusual? Sounds like a typical dogfag.

Birds are very often abused. I volunteer at a bird sanctuary, those of us who know how to take care of a bird and who realize what a HUGE responsibility they are tend to do well. You're right though, people get them thinking they only need food and a cage, without realizing their needs or how long they live. This is why we have so many damaged birds at the sanctuary.

If i was able i would let my cockatiel get out of the cage when i go to school but i'm afraid that my dumbass sister's pitbull will get in the room and kill him.

I'm happy that we finally live in a time where it has become acceptable for women to engage in traditionally "masculine" activities. Of course, conservatives will evoke pseudo-arguments like "killng is worng" or "muh feels" to put the woman in place.

You go gurl. Don't take any shit from the haters.

>>2231541
Yes.

Because it helps conservation.

Indeed, why not?

Is this what you speak of?

I bought a pass, for the good of the clan

I doubt /an/ would be a candidate for removal. It's low traffic and low bandwidth. More likely boards that soak up a lot of bandwidth relative to their regular user base. So stuff like hd wallpapers board, /s4s/, some of the porn boards.

And /pol/. We can all hope for /pol/'s closure.

Because cats are superior predators.

>>2234526
Aren't bears closer to cats than dogs?

Removed the dead link and the rude Google part. Google is already mentioned in the beginning of the post so putting it twice is redundant and slightly shitpostful.

Because cats were used to kill vermin on barns and shit, which just carried over to pet cats that have no business going hunting.

>>2234150

Aren't barn cats different from outside cats? They're just ferals that live on your property. Most farmers don't even pet them or tame them.

Cats, like dogs, developed as outdoor animals. After a while, people started letting their animals inside, fencing them in, tying them out etc. However this didn't really flow over to cats. So it's not so much as a trend starting, but a trend not changing with the times.

I thinks there's an easy way to explain why; People started to keep animals more closely as possession as they become more valuable. You don't let your dinner for a month walk onto someone else's property, or your hunting tool get snatched up by someone else. A cat was not detrimental, and they were, and still are, a dime a dozen. Now, while cows and horses and goats and dogs and parrots and reptiles are still worth something, cats still aren't. They are still a dime a dozen, they are more useless now than ever before, and their owners don't put as big of an emphasis on them while they are living.

Tl;dr- cats are worthless.

>>2229040
Hamsters tend to do better alone.. Or were you talking about gerbils and mice?

>>2229100
Syrian hams are solitary animals but the other hamsters do better in groups.

We need cats. The benefits of cats outweigh the disadvantages.
