Very fucked

>>1989654
Not very. Would need a lot of mosquito spray,though.

Have sprayed pesticide over my backyard for fleas once a year for about 5 years
Have killed countless fish over the years from fishing
Fed tons of rats/rabbits/guinea pigs to my friends boa because the bitch refuses to eat anything dead
I've hit 3 stray dogs and 1 deer while driving at night
And 3 cats I threw at an alligator when I was 10

The bugs could probably fuck me due to size and numbers but the rest couldnt do much that my rifle couldnt take care of

Other than take it to a vet and spend a fortune. Just leave it alone for a day and if its not better call animal control to come pick it up

If you have any peanuts, try giving it a few, might make it peck up a bit. Give it a little bowl of water too. If you really don't want to keep it, yeah, I guess you'll have to call animal control.

>Spread deadly diseases
>Feed on blood and leave annoying, itching spots for days after
>Fucking everywhere, especially in the summer (I live somewhat near a lagoon in Australia)
>Loud enough to wake me up at night by flying near my head making that annoying high-pitched buzzing noise, and I'm forced to get out of bed and scan the room for the little shit so I can kill it

The only animal even close to being this awful are parasitic worms (specifically guinea worms and hookworms)

letting cats outdoors is basically taking away around 80% of their lifespan on average.

*gets popcorn*

>>1989274
Is a studio enough space for a indoor cat though? A cat living it's whole life inside a room basically, seems pretty cruel.

Yeah its been like this for awhile. My friend works up in the Adirondacks at a wolf preserve says they're all coywolves that are wild

>>1989135
Wait till the furries find out

>>1989135
You guys should fucking shoot the lot of them while you still can. It's only a matter of time before they turn on you.

You've been warned.

>>1988133

Because it's delicious.

>>1988133
cuz they don't have seeds

Because there is nothing wrong with GMOs as a whole you retard.
Some gmo shit is bad, but the vast majority of it is absolutely fine and anyone arguing against it is a paranoia fueled idiot who doesn't know the first thing about biology.

I saw someone the other day saying "GMO's are a cancer causing ingredient found in your food"

Do you know why they rejected you? That might help.

You could try other shelters/rescue groups. Or look on craigslist--often times people having to give their dog away for one reason or another will advertise there. You can even find tons of "free puppy" ads from people who had accidental litters.

You want to lower the rate of euthanasia in shelters? Get people to keep their fucking animals in their god damned houses and stop keeping pets they can't fucking manage.

>>1987243
i live in chile and it breaks my heart seeing packs of hungry suffering dogs roaming around town.

shelters are a service to society and they need to euthanise animals to keep the population under control. Theres no worse fate for the dog than living in hunger and suffering on the streets, just so a few soft humans dont have to face the harshness of population control.

Not really.
I don't want them for bragging rights. I don't even have many people besides family. It's just a farm house, and I want to go more rustic with some European mounts. Not like I want an over kill of them either. Better use for them and more respectful to that animal then simply going into the trash

Those are almost always going to have a steep price unless you get the animal yourself and set up the mount yourself. You could try second hand stores or other such places online.

Iguanas are herbivores no? Or are they like tegus and need a highly varied diet?

Not that I'd recommend either to anyone without a lot of reptile experience.

>>1985197
awww, he's cute! His skin looks almost like moss on trees.
I'll look into those thanks!
>>1985205
well, I have a tropical freshwater aquarium if that counts for experience with animals? it's 4 years old, very stable. I recently started working, and I really wanna buy a cute reptile with my first or second paycheck.

>>1985205
Iguanas are pretty strict herbivores when they're adults, as juveniles they'll eat insects occasionally.

>>1985194
An option might be a blue tongued skink, they're omnivores which need a varied diet of meat and veg but the meat can be dead, so like minced meat, even eggs.

that's not a big dog. That's like half a big dog.

>>1984208
Because small breeds invariably have shit owners who let them bark all fucking day long.

>>1984212
Isn't it because small dogs tend to be watch dogs?

>>1982238
I suppose you're talking about the courtship dances some spiders(most notably wolf and jumping spiders) have? Most popular works will only offer brief descriptions, so I guess you'll have to find some nice academic ethological journal that specialises in spiders. You can find some nice recordings of these dances on youtube, too.

My turn: Can anyone recommend some nice articles on eusociality in spiders? I've been wanting to learn about it for a long time, yet can't find much material.

I know some other anons do bird banding on here, have any of you ever lost a bird? I lost a juvenile northern flicker this past summer, and man it still haunts me.

When you look at it in its full resolution, it doesn't look that weird. The thumbnail is spooky as heck, however.
