Pigs.

Cats and dogs.

My friend moved to the country and got a pig. It's a 350lb wrecking ball that doesn't care one bit about being friendly, in fact it's an asshole. Maybe not all pigs are that bad, but this one sucks.

What? No.

It would be a nice gesture.

Are you the creepy old man in the neighborhood that no one ever sees and all the kids are scared of?

Would I feel obligated?
no

I'd still probably do it if the kids werent little shit heads though.

Here are some of the juvenile larvae that are at a life stage able to be fed to livestock like fish, reptiles, chickens, etc.

How do you prevent these creatures from escaping into the local ecosystem and becoming an invasive species that fucks shit up?

Other than that concern though, I think this is awesome. More power to you, OP.

Take it to a vet.

No vets in clallam county are going to take a chicken

If growing up watching cartoons taught me anything, then there's a thorn in her foot. Pull it out and she'll instantly become your best friend.

Looks like a mourning dove

I always thought they were morning doves. Instead of mourning. The more you know!

Probably a bluebird, either Eastern or Western.

You gotta post where you saw it, because range is a huge factor

>>2116727
I live in MA so it was probably Eastern, right?

If it's a bluebird, it's an Eastern. Michigan is in its breeding range, and its that time of year.

It's tricky to tell from the picture, but is this your bird?

A purebred Burmese Mountain dog, only 5 months old, came into the local shelter the other day. It had actual pedigree papers and AKC registration, and because it's a shelter the most they could charge for it was like $150. I'm very worried someone will adopt it and turn it over for a couple grand, because around here that's what that kind of dog is worth. At least it will be fixed.

But yeah AKC no longer equates to a good breeder. In fact, in some cases I would say it may be better having a dog that isn't up to snuff with the AKC guidelines, or a breeder that refuses to register their dogs with the AKC over conflicting views in breeding practices. As far as I know, as long as your dog is a pure bred, it can be registered with the AKC (no requirements as far as fitting the standard goes), so I guess it wouldn't necessarily hurt. Right now I think the AKC is still better than the Canadian and Westminister unfortunately. In the end they are all pretty shitty.

>why is the organization made for giving people a false sense of superiority from their pets doing this??

money, like always

>>2116517

If you have any control over the situation, you should try to get the shelter to turn the dog over to a strict rescue. There are ways that you can track the adoption of a dog through the microchip and there are some rescues that will keep track of the dog that way, and if they see you rehomed the dog they will come after you.

Of course, if you don't modify the chip info after the rehoming, they won't know, but who would pay a few grand for a dog and not make sure the microchip info is accurate in case they get loose?

However, burmese mountain dogs aren't really used for illegal purposes, like fighting, and if someone is willing to pay a few grand, hopefully they also have a pretty decent home. Maybe some douchebag will make some money on the situation, but I doubt the dog will end up neglected and tied to a tree, ya know?

Go to a fucking vet.

>>2116246
Just return it to the store and get a new bottle. Tell them that's how it was when you bought. Works every time.

As far as the dead dog goes, you could try returning it too, but they kind of frown upon that I've found.

>Why do so many people have cats and dogs when most people can't even take care of a fish or hamster?
I own cats, dogs, a hamster and fish.

the fish are by far the most difficult of those four to care for.

just sayin.

also, if you think a 5g tank is good for any fish you're somewhat misinformed.

>>2116198
theres nothing wrong with a 5g for a betta

>>2116202
there's also nothing particularly right about it.

Also she was a small puppy

"husky" isn't a breed.

Sibarian husky is what I think you mean. I'm not an expert but she seems to be to me. But I'm sure some other of the guys on here could tell you for sure.

>>2115991
Sorry, but your video is about as interesting as watching paint dry. And the music. Oh god.

Rami malek. I'm so in love man.

Not unless the grain of sand is verylargeand weighs 11 to 13 pounds (5 to 6 kilograms)! Contrary to popular belief, theelephant's brainis not small. In fact, it is the largestbrainof any land mammal. It looks like a humanbrain, highly folded and convoluted with distinctive lobes.

>>2115414
A grain of sand, by definition, can not be that large.

>>2115413
wow OP, just like your penis then

.... When in France, a dog didn't respond to my calls or platitudes then in realised I was in France. It liked being spoken to in French ya see, ou a la bon chien, etc. He went nuts.... Completely unrelated story

>>2115399
.... Anyhow yep this is normal as long as the dog has been trained to be friendly and to not be threatened if you invade it's space. I know of a man who would beat up his dog with a golly wog doll to make it attack black people. Obviously he was a racist, and not my friend.

>>2115399

Its natural for dogs to paw at people especially through a gap in the fence its not really shaking hands.

My dog however would sit staring through you 2 metres away from the fence carefully calculating the threat. Your warning would be low growling and a bark that sounds like muffled coughing. If he is barking loudly he is simply telling me there is someone here and they are no threat.
