Why are cat owners not held up to the same standards as other pet owners?

If you let your untrained dog outside with no supervision, or refused to walk it on a leash, you'd be considered lazy

If you let your bird or rodent outside of its cage without supervision in an unsafe environment, you'd be considered neglectful

Why is doing these things suddenly okay when the pet is a cat?

Hey /an/

I have become very curious recently on whether or not my cat is of the Siberian breed.

I have seen a cat that looks absolutely identical to him, who is one and that is where my wonder started.

We had adopted him from the pound around 8 months ago, He was brought in after his owners were arrested and sent to jail, so its not like he was a stray at all.

I figured I better ask you guys, as oppose to Yahoo Answers.

his instagram if you wish to check it out is @kinglouthecat

Pic is an anery palmetto corn snake. The palmetto gene is a very rare mutation that was found, as I understand it, in a single wild caught male corn. It is single recessive. And yes, they are still crazy expensive. Pic is anerythristic + palmetto to achieve the grey/black scales.

The bill was was well-meaning; it began as an attempt to create
>a registry of animal abusers.

Many states like Tennessee and New York are turning to this as a solution to prevent animals abuse, but it also serves the dual purpose of
>identifying violence against children, families and future killers of humans.


Anthropologist Margaret Mead worked extensively to understand the
>link between animal abuse and human on human abuse.

Mead was one of the first researchers to conclude that
>cruelty to animals from children could be a precursor to future violence.

>In 1964, she wrote:
“One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal and get away with it… [as] such children, diagnosed early, could be helped instead of being allowed to embark on a long career of episodic violence and murder.”


The bill has passed the Senate, but the state House still has an opportunity to strip the unconstitutional provision. Republican Senator Rick Jones is urging his colleagues to refrain from doing so because it could put

>a crucial bill to protect animals

in jeopardy.


“The minute I cross that line and I start talking about the other stuff, I won’t even get another hearing. It’ll be done,” Rep. Jones explained to The New Civil Rights Movement.

“Nobody wants to touch it. I would rather not even bring up the topic, because I know what would happen. You’d get both sides screaming and you end up with a big fight that’s not needed because it’s unconstitutional…

>If we could put a bill in that said anything that’s unconstitutional be removed from the legal books of Michigan, that’s probably something I could vote for, but am I going to mess up this dog bill that everybody wants? No.”


Logan’s Law is named after a Siberian Husky that died tragically after
>having acid intentionally poured over him.

What is /an/'s views on "no bark collars"? I have a dog that sleeps in the other room (no room for his crate in my bedroom), and he barks at night about 30 minutes after I put him up.

Personally, I don't want to use one if it'll hurt my dog, but I don't want to react to his barking by coming in to the room he's in. Any suggestions?

Beautiful animals must fit on at least three of these categories:
1. Wild
2. Exotic
3. Colorful
4. From the tropical rainforest
5. Makes loud but pleasant noises
6. Have long necks and/or legs
7. Aquatic/marine
8. Have "frill-like" extensions
Examples: Peafowl, okapi, parrots, giraffe, jaguar, maned wolf, sea swallow, horse

Beautiful animals are different from cute animals, such as puppies, kittens and chicks.
Non-beautiful animals such as tortoises and crows can still be pleasing to look at.

Now, don't go calling any animal that you like to look at "beautiful".

I find the production quality extremely impressive for a youtube animal channel, and all his videos are interesting and entertaining to watch. Why isn't he on TV?
