probably not, but there are definitely multiple adverse effects to being a complete idiot

Good one.

That's an eagle, Anon

>>1995593
it's a brown recluse.

Never done it, but my grandad kept kestrels and Harris hawks I've always wanted to have a bird of prey, but apparently they're just dumb. A mate of mine had trained his to fly out of his car on a country road and fly back in with rabbits, I'd be into this.

Wet tail

>>1995393
There doesn't seem to be any wetness around the tail and this face thing has been going on for several weeks at least

Why is holding orcas in captivity worse than zoos and aquariums holding animals?

It seems like most people advocating this are mindlessly parroting some CNN movie, and that worries me, but I don't know if they're mindlessly advocating something good or bad.

>>1995256
These animals are perceived as far more intelligent and social than any others like le magic dolphinz. However the whale the film is about, Tilikum, is wild caught, has been abused by other whales and is a danger to trainers, they also keep him in a tiny holding tank and jerk him off daily and make millions from his sperm, so his offspring can also live in a tiny tank somewhere else. Considering their natural range of thousands of miles it's really rather awful.

>>1995247
they're losing money, and they think it's because of Blackfish.

In reality their core demographic doesn't have as much money as they used to, and what they offer isn't the best zoo around or the best theme park. It's a good time to be Disneyland or the San Diego Zoo. SeaWorld not so much.

lmao redundant mentioned she was a girl twice

Cumfart

They're both good in their own ways

Depends on your circumstances. Sometimes I wish I had a cat so I didn't have to revolve my life so heavily around my dog, but I love him to bits.

>>1994966
Wish I could afford both.
Doggie will do for now.

>What would the body of a human raised by monkeys look like?
Like a human.
>What traits/instincts would this person have?
Whatever they learned from the monkeys. (you probably mean apes)

You don't seem to grasp how biology 101 works.

>>1994789
No, I mean monkeys.
I know Louie is an ape but in the movie he's credited as "The Monkey King".
And I didn't want to look for pictures of actual monkeys, they're ugly and vile.
>You don't seem to grasp how biology 101 works.
I guess not?
I thought feral children's bodies differed from humans that grow up in normal environments because of adaptation.
Also because of adaptation depending on what animals they were brought up by, they have heightened senses in certain areas.

Rest in peace beautiful prince

OP, I'm so sorry man. Cry it out, he will always be remembered

Sorry to hear that, man.

>>1994634
At least he had you, buddy.

He is lucky to have died in the arms of the person he loved and admired most in life. I hope I get to go out that way too.

Sure why not

>>1994577
definitely senpai

I didn't know what love was until I had a duckling

Why does something deserve to be alive just because its brain is more complex if it can't use that complexity to learn to avoid danger?

You know what everything that can't avoid danger is?

Extinct. And most of it not by our hands.

The earth is fuelled primarily by the sun.
This fuel allows life to form and flourish.
This life takes on many forms, each attempting to cling to a niche, each doing the same thing; surviving.

Those that are better at surviving go on, those that are worse do not. Where is the fairness in this? Nowhere, it isn't fair, never has it been fair until we came along and for some reason decided that the natural order of things is wrong.

It does not matter on any grand scale that things die.
If I die tonight, you will not give a shit.
If you die I will not give a shit.

The other whales don't give a shit.
Nothing gave a shit about the dodos.
Nothing gave a shit about the dinosaurs.

The lion does not give a shit about the gazelle and the other gazelles do not give a shit either, just so long as THEY aren't the ones getting eaten.

So where do we get off saying "Whoa, hey, you know what we're above this, we're in charge here, lets change the rules for everything"

You don't want to hunt whales? I suggest you don't get a job on a whaling boat then.

Long after we are gone and either this planet is a barren rock, lived on by something else or perhaps even destroyed, absolutely nobody will give a fuck and it will not matter.

>>1994196

...You're very much going into what is the point of life territory. Why don't we all just kill ourselves? If life has no meaning and nothing happens after, what's the point of living?

If everything you experience means nothing, then there's no reason to live.

Bleeding heart ex-greenpeace faggot who watched too many pirate movies and thinks he is one. One day, a destroyer is going to blow him and his crew out of the water and nobody is going to give a fuck.

These are the eyes of a harvestman. I think they look eerily intelligent.

Tokay gecko.

I tried to find a not (too much) shooped image.

I would go for rats if i were you. That comes from a person who have had a really big interest in guinea pigs and helping them when not ben taken care of right. They are really cute as babies but they are really boring. Sometimes they learn certain words if you repeat them before giving them food. Which make them squeak and get all excited for half a minute when the word is being heard by them. And that's pretty much it. Rats are way smarter and I would as I said, recommend them. I'm 100% sure they are more interesting.

>>1993576
I don't think peeing is a problem if you get female rats
Also consider how much time you have to entertain your pets, rats are smarter and they will cause a havoc when they get bored

>>1993576
Rats will die in 1-2 years, usually of horrible cancer.

So, take into account whether you want to deal with that. You get much more mileage with pigs.

Take her to the vet.

Get into a relationship. Fix yourself until someone finds you appealing.

none.

even dogs don't actually like being hugged.

sea levels are still rising.
that can only be happening if water is warming or continents are sinking.

guess which one is more likely?

While they are spreading, they are also thinning. I'm not doing your homework for you, so Google it.
