Also, armadillos tend to carry leprosy. So, maybe don't touch them.

Crocodiles? You can try.
Badgers? Badgers! We don't need no stinkin' badgers!
Badger, badger, badger...
Mushroom mushroom
Snake! A snaaaaake! Oooohhh, it's a snaaaaaaakeeeee!
Stray kittens are like that. I knew some strays that had their kittens. I would come by with food and for play time. Their mom was quite happy and joined in. This made the kittens trust people too much and... well, some people took them home when they were too damn young to be adopted. Knowing how most people are who spontaneously adopt strays they probably got tired of them really quick and abandoned them far away. It pains me to think of that
Imagine if humans did this with human babies.
Sees baby unattended for literally 0.03 seconds "Your mother has abandoned you, but I shall raise you like my own!"
That's pretty much accurate as to how the state reinforces helicopter parenting nowadays. Institutionalized anxiety starting from the 80s with John Walsh's kid's murder.
when I was a teenager, I was in the supermarket with my mom and my baby sister.
My mom wanted to quickly grab something from the other side of the store, so I stayed at my sister in her stroller.
I was standing next to the stroller, playing with my gameboy.
When my mom came back, a woman berated her (and indirectly me) that it's so irresponsible to leave my sister unsupervised, as I wasn't paying attention.
Mind you, I was literally 30cm next to my sister. Who was sitting in her stroller doing nothing but playing with a toy and looking around.
I hear that this happens sometimes, but nowhere near normal times, more like during evacuations from warzone and so on
Imagine if animals did this with human babies.
Cats will do this with their fucking owners, they just assume we're incompetent because we're not catching any critters, so they have to catch them for us so we don't starve.
Plus i'm pretty sure this is part of why many cats insist on joining us in the bathroom, they gotta keep watch while we're vulnerable taking a dump.
One of mine doesn't watch, she jumps into my lap and curls up.
:|
I think my cat is a perv.
I wonder if mine are broken. They will only play with what they catch, never serve me the catch. Though most of the time it's only stick or some cabletie, occasionally iguana, all for their entertainment.
unfortunately a lot of cats suffer from "stinky dummy" syndrome, it's very sad 😔
Is that device meant to alleviate SDS symptoms at all? I'd be interested to see any studies on it if there are any, if you could tell me what it's called or point me to the research it would be much appreciated.
We're looking at all the options we can for our severely SDS afflicted SIC.
You leave the stroller for a moment to grab your take-away order and come back to a crow repeatedly attempting to insert a still-living snail into the baby's face. The snail is confused, but calm. The crow is frustrated. The baby won't stop screaming, further frustrating the crow. Just eat the snail, idiot.
Romulus and Remus.
Everyone would be better off, I'm sure
Maybe the dingo didn't EAT the baby?
You are mother has?
I feel like this could happen.
In fairness, the deer population is way out of control, so I'm just doing my part to reduce it.
Best way to help cull the deer population is to get your hunting license and fill your quota! Plus all fees (at least in my state) from hunting/fishing related things fund conservation efforts!
Fair enough, but if the fawn is just there for the taking anyway...
Firstly, lol
2ndly — You become a disney princess?
Keeping it as a pet is not quite the fate I had in mind for it...
You sick fuck, beastiality isn't welcome 'round here (≖︵≖)
~sorry to break the vibe and say the joke out loud, but wanted to thank you for the laughs~
Uh... That wasn't quite what I had in mind for it either...
I... Don't think that was the joke...
I hope we reintroduce and help repopulate predators.
The main reason deer populations are out of control is we’ve killed pretty much everything that eats deer…
Releasing wolves does tend to solve most issues in life.
Inside you there are two wolves. You fucking idiot, why did you let the wolves rip you and take your insides.
COUGAR CUBS? LEAVE EM!
FAWNS? KIDNAP THEM, RAISE THEM AS YOUR OWN
MAKE THEM LEARN CALCULUS
They learn Calculus:
"The (deer population) limit doesn't exist!"
Turns out, they don't fully understand Calculus
That's actually not the case. There's just not enough land for their predators.
I thought the logo was a bearded guy with a beanie...
It’s…. Not?!
Armadillos also can carry leprosy, so this is sound advice on multiple levels.
Armadildo am I right or am I right?
No please don't arm a dildo
pew pew pew
Only if it’s consenting.
they need to be armed now??? jesus christ i'm so sick of modern products...
