They do, they are just more often left to die. There's a lot of potential retarded cats born, and cats can die during pregnancy.

Animals are born with disabilities however in the wild they usually die early in life or are killed by their mother.

Humans have bigger heads than other animals so we cause more risk to our mums. Tbqh, I wanna know why human babies cry more than other babies. Is it because most parents make them sleep alone?

I feel like the first thing you should have researched is the NIMH experiment/s, anon. It's relevant in every way.

But tl;dr it occurs more frequently in species with territorial overpopulation. When you hit a certain point where your population is not only unsustainable but self-destructive, you start to get a lot more gays.
Nobody will apply the same research given to animals to humans because MUH ETHICS*, but it would be really interesting to see the results.

*Just like stem cells, hueh.

>>2218233

There's a difference between gay and sex. If all there is is 2 male dogs, they might go at each other, but throw a bitch in heat into the mix and see what they go after.

Many animals will fuck anything that moves when breeding season is on. That's a big difference between disregarding the opposite sex for the same sex.

Cat owners are the dumbest shits in the world.

no one cares about what you do in your home, whether it's religion, suicide, or cats as long as you don't annoy anyone with it.

There are some annoying anti-cat anons on here but most inside cat activists don't hate cats. We hate owners who let their cats outside unsupervised.

Pic unrelated. It's not a domestic cat.

What are you looking for then, and would you be willing to go to a rescue?

>>2217020
1. Go to any neighborhood
2. Walk around. Plenty of dogs left out while people are at work.
3. Take your pick

>>2217020

http://mypetsbrace.com/canine-knee-braces-rear-leg

So I'm going to try as hard as possible to replicate this company's product because it looks pretty much perfect. I would just buy one if I could, but I can't afford 800 dollars.

The design looks simple

>femoral plate with strap
>attached to tibial plate with top strap, bottom strap, and kneecap pad?

I'm confused about the kneecap part of the design. It looks like there's a circular pad or something that goes over the kneecap. Does anyone have any orthopedic knowledge who could potentially explain this to me?

>>2216970
If you look closely, you'll see that where the two plates connect there are two small circular structures with the glint of metal in the middle. I believe these to be Tamarack flexure joints or something similar. These braces are high quality and I want to emulate everything I can about them

This other company was nice enough to basically give me their research and design! Thanks guys! :)

Btw, when I finish this project, videos, how-tos, schematics etc will be available free online. I want all dogues happy.

One of these fuckers once literally crawled up my arm without me noticing. Got a Kleenex and just snatched it up before dumping it in a toilet. What makes them scary for you, OP?

>>2213970
I don't know, i just scared whenever i see this fuckers around, especially when they can fly. Fuck these guys.

Mosquitoes. FUCK MOSQUITOES. Whenever I see one in my room I go into full alert mode and start feeling really sensitive like I have bugs all over me. I will literally stay up all night, depriving myself of sleep until these fuckers come out of their hiding spaces so I can smash the fuck out of them.

>>2213261
Not really.

>>2213261
Is it possible to keep one of these as a pet? Like in a tank? I'd imagine you'd have to get a small one but I was wondering if they'd be able to coexist with fish.

>>2213261
I'm quite jelly desu senpai

>>2210961
Im a neet. I think having chickens in your room counts as chicken-abuse

>>2210970
Probably, we picked up the runt of the flock bc she was being picked on by the others, put a lil diaper on her and let her walk around the house instead of being outside, we obviously let her out a lot but she would like to be inside

>>2210961
I have about 15 chickens. They are my favorite of my farm animals (also have goats and ducks)
