How do you rate my doge? Shes is at least 8 and half years old mixed breed. She is hug dog by profession, she has saved over 20 dogs by donating blood, she has saved one human.

I got her when she as at least 5 years old and we are going to travel the road to the end.

Hi... Right now i'm feeling deeply depressed, and one of the things that usually cheer me up is a relevant healthy discussion. And after some reflection, i found a topic i wanted to discuss for a long-time.

Animal Rights.
My position as of most people is that we should treat our pets right. But always struck me as a fallacy when people compare Pets to every Animal in the world. (Like the Image used to this thread)
There is a clear difference between a animal you pick as a pet and a animal destined to a slaughter house.
One is selected by humans to serve as a family member. It's only purpose is to live in the household to provide affection and entertainment to it's owners in exchange of a shelter from nature, regular source of nourishment (Food) and healthcare.
While the other are selected from birth to provide meat for human nutrition worldwide.

This always struck me as a very defined line between pet and cattle. Since you don't have any emotional investment like you have with pets, why should we care about cattle?
It is a personal value passed to me since my childhood that Human-lives are objectively more important than Animal-lives. And it led me to some horrible closeminded responses to reasonable people that just supported animal rights.
Right now, as a adult, i'm willing to inform and educate myself in the matter. And would like you guys to clarify this loaded topic to this ignorant internet person.
Why do people compare animal killings to the murder of humans when there is a (supposed) clear divide between our species? Why should we care?

Enlighten me. Wise ones.

OP Here.
Btw. I would totally eat a dog. They don't seem to have mych meat, but i'm curious about the taste of roasted dog meat.
Sound delicious.
>>
>>2163127
It's k, you're right. "Why should I care?" is the perfect answer.
Then you can always answer to your interlocutor that you'd eat them too if it was legal.

>One is selected by humans to serve as a family member. It's only purpose is to live in the household to provide affection and entertainment to it's owners in exchange of a shelter from nature, regular source of nourishment (Food) and healthcare.
That's awfully recent for 99% of the species, most were used for work primarily. Being a pet treated nearly like a human is a new thing for dogs, being domesticated and living among men isn't.
>>
>>2163133
Yeah. I realised that.
But still confuses me people advocating that Humankind should adopt a vegeratian or vegan lifestyle as the only moral choice... Again, comparing eating animals to canibalism.

you've been watching too many cartoons, that shit doesn't work unless the weather is so hot and dry that you'll give yourself a heat stroke before you manage to burn anything.

constructive.

I see the heat stroke has already taken a toll on you.

Hate to start a thread just for this but there no cat general of sorts.

Got a female kitten (found her in the bush) had her for a while now and shes healthy after vet visits.

She isnt de-sexed/neutered, shes about 6 months old we think and she has weird behaviour now (im not familiar with female cats) when we rub the base of her tail she like is as much as any cat but only recently she meows chatters and kind of makes warning growls whilst we're doing it. she also kicks her back legs and just contorts and twists her body everywhere and bends her tail.

Getting mixed signals about her liking/not liking it and im not sure if shes pregnant of if its a sexual thing that shes enjoying it too much. There are also other cats in the are, including my old male cat but we do let her out to do her own thing because the cats that we know of in the area are de-sexed.

I really don't want to get my cat off

Anyone know what this is?

She is in heat and will get pregnant if you let her out. Male cats will come from far away to mate, so doesn't matter if you know the local cats. Get her fixed or she will be in heat anything from every 2 weeks to a month except when she is pregnant.

Get her fixed, ya 'tard.

Any centipede enthusiasts on /an/?

I want to buy one but I'm not sure what species is good for a beginner. Looking for something relatively easy to care for that's not too aggressive and has relatively mild venom. Also preferaby something that doesn't spend its entire life burrowed.

I've got a pellet rifle I use to shoot any fucking cat I find in my back yard. They usually don't come back.

I've got no problem with cats...unless they're running wild on my property.

Why do faggots on here hate pugs so much? They are some of the best dogs you can get. They have amazing personalities and live for an incredibly long time. They are super sweet and just about the best bros you can ask for.

>BUT MUH BRACHYCEPHALY
>BUT MUH CRUELTY BREEDING
Fuck off you dumb retard. This must be why pugs have some of the longest lifespan of any dog, and are incredibly healthy. Stop using meme words you don't understand that you saw on a PETA website.

The hate this breed gets is irrational. I don't get it. Can someone explain it to me? Is it literally just memes?

They are useless dogs, unless you just want something to lay on the couch or for people to look at.

We had a friend living with us who had a pug. Every single fucking day I wanted to round house kick that fucker in the face. Most useless fucking dog ever.

>peed on EVERYTHING despite having a doggy door and no medical issues
>thousands of dollars spent on trainers and they all said he was a lost cause
>vet suggested keeping him constantly sedated because of how much an asshole he was
>destroyed carpets, kennels, cabinets, TVs, couches, anything you can name
>couldn't stand getting his paws wet so when it rained we had to carry him outside and place him on the wet grass so he would potty. Then he would come inside and shit and piss inside.
>would run from you and never let anyone touch him
>peed on my bed multiple times after taking him outside to potty
>peed on my fucking WINDOW blinds that is 4 feet off the ground
>couldn't stand being touched

dear god I can go on and on. That pug was the absolute worst thing to ever happen to me and when he moved out I cried tears of joy:

Buy kitten formula and a nursing bottle. Had to do this two weeks ago and the kitten managed to survive the night after feeding it a little bit of the formula every 30 mins-1 hr. Now he is fatter than his sibling.
