Man, this is legit the hardest question I've been asked for at least a week.
I live in an area with an out of control whitetail deer population. I don't have it in me to hunt, but I'm all for people deer hunting to curb the population. Most folks I know who hunt also eat their kills or give away/sell the meat, so it isn't wasted. A lot of local craftspeople use deer hide and antlers for knife making and stuff and there's soooo many taxidermists. Almost every butcher shop around offers deer processing, too.
When I was a kid way out in the boonies, the wild coyote population boomed and the pack actively started hunting me and other small kids and killing livestock like crazy. The folks in the surrounding areas thinned the pack when the game commission wouldn't do something about the problem. I was totally fine with that hunting too because I didn't like coyotes stalking me and preventing me from playing outside.
I know some people who pheasant hunt and it's never bothered me because, again, the corpses aren't wasted.
My grandpa crow hunted and he took me with him once and II had researched crows beforehand because I was excited. I learned how smart they are and refused to let my grandpa shoot them. We just sat there and watched them hang out and figure out the decoys we had set up.
I got there and Mama Cat immediately took me to her baby. She then kept trying to give me her baby and when I kept putting it back in the safe, warm cardboard box, she'd go put it somewhere unsafe and cold. She obviously wasn't moving it to a different nest. She was obviously starting to reject the thing. The lil baby got hungry at one point and started screaming and mama cat put it in the middle of the parking lot and went and laid down on a chair. I put the baby with her and it got to eat and Mama Cat moved it to the box again eventually. I'm hoping she doesn't abandon it. If she does, I'm going to offer to raise it. I've bottle fed and raised dozens of kittens, so I know what I'm doing in that regard.
I can do a perfect cartoonish witch cackle. My friends love it lol.
I can also unhinge my left jaw like a snake. My jaw on that side is just flat on the top and bottom, so there's no actual joint. I was born like this and it's pretty painful, but seeing people get freaked out over me opening my mouth much more than it ought to is great.
Lol amazing
Sandy tolerates so much from the barn cats lol. The kittens go after her tail and play around her legs and stuff. She just stands there and lets them do whatever lol. I'm sure she'd let a cat chill on her back if one wanted to lol
I can't see the pic :(
I groomed my horse... FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!
A martyr, truly. 😔
I post pics and the stories of my rescue horse and one of the barn cats. They've gained a small following here on Lemmy and everything can be viewed in my post history if you wanted to check it out lol.
There's a small fanclub for a horse and a barn cat. 👀👀👀
The saga goes back a couple years and you can see it in my post history.
Anyone know of Spotify alternatives that have family plans? I have like 4 other people on my plan and I don't want them to get fucked over if I decide to switch. It's the one subscription that I cover in exchange for others paying for other subscriptions that we share.
We got Blexas! Let's fucking gooooooo!
If I print it in black and white, does the blessing not work?
She holds her fat weird and looks like she is pregnant or has worms. She's def got that pear body shape lmao. Gotta start with reducing food and using a slow feeding bowl and then if she still continues to gain weight, I'll have to put her on a diet.
Lights are on but nobody's home.
I was going to adopt her, but I just lost a dog and I'm dealing with a bunch of other shit that takes priority. I'm totally trying to find her a home though.
He was doing really well until he saw the thread I was using and tried getting it lol. I had to redirect several times until he decided to go harass one of the other cats.
She was giving me attitude yesterday because I hadn't come out to see her in a couple weeks.
My dogs got into a neurotoxin andy beagle died horribly and my other dog survived but was in the animal hospital for a few days and is still recovering. She should be fine with time. My grief for my beagle is so bad that I had to take short term disability from work to get my mental health handled. I had to call a crisis line twice Wednesday night because I was completely breaking down.
I'm going to be visiting Sandy as I recover, but my surviving dog, Rosie, is a priority. We are staying with my parents until the vet gives her the all clear and she doesn't know her brother isn't waiting for her at home. She's going to need me when she starts to grieve.
Here's a pic of my girl. She was watching the news in that pic.
There was a minor gas leak and I had to haul the critters away from the house. Pixel was mildly concerned.

Staying with my parents currently, so I had to get Pixel and 3 dogs into the car and away from the house. It was chaotic AF but everyone was safe and the leak was fixed quickly
