Istg, if I ever get rabies because some dumb ass antivaxxer refused to vaccinate their dog, I’ll probably be doing the rest of my blogging from prison because I promise you, Imma curbstomp the shit out of the owner

If I see one more post on any platform where a therian takes in an injured wild animal to 'rehabilitate' it I'm gonna lose it.

Alright everyone, say it with me: JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A THERIAN, DOES NOT MEAN YOU IMMEDIATELY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ANIMALS

You are NOT a wildlife professional (unless you are, if you are, pop off)

Injured wild animals should not be handled by people with no experience with them, it would be safer to call your local wildlife rehab.

WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT PETS!

WILD RABBITS ARE NOT PETS!

FOXES ARE NOT PETS!

COYOTES ARE NOT PETS!

RACOONS ARE NOT PETS!

WILD RATS ARE NOT PETS!

Sorry about the aggression, it pisses me off seeing people unintentionally harm animals. I'm gonna be honest, the therian community (especially the younger demographics) has problems with harming wildlife, whether it be letting your dog roam off leash on hiking trails, or letting your cat outside unsupervised.

For those of you non-reptile folks out there (or the reptile folks who haven't heard/don't know yet)- "Prehistoric Pets"/"The Reptile Zoo" is one of the worst faces of captive reptile keeping. Jay Brewer, the guy that runs it and faces it on youtube, is basically running the equivalent of a reptile puppy mill, and sensationalizing it for views.

He keeps his animals in enclosures that are far too small for them, participates in mass breeding without care for the health or well-being of the animals involved, including creating morbidly obsese animals to have the "biggest" ones for clout and so that he can breed them as fast and often as possible since they don't get too skinny from being bred too often while being massively overfed. He's also well known for cutting eggs (which by itself is.... eh but-) where he removes the entire top, pulling live babies out, and putting them back in, which is ridiculously dangerous to the baby.

This year he's going to be getting his own television show. I don't know the name of it yet, but given his behavior on youtube - where he purposely elicits stress responses, defensive behaviors, and bite attempts from large reptiles purely for views, with no interest in whether these actions are in the interest of the animal's best welfare - I doubt he is going to improve any. The producers are GOING to try to sensationalize it a la Tiger King.

Please, I am asking you to not support this man or his new show. He represents the worst side of the hobby, the people that have no business being in business, no business keeping the animals he does. Don't spite watch, don't curiosity watch; pirate it someplace if you must, but any views that count toward success of his show only puts more into his pockets to continue doing things he shouldn't, and it's his animals (and the animals his popularity convince others to buy thinking they can do the same as him) that pay the price for it.

Please understand that he is NOT a good representative of the reptile keeping community, and that so many people do not find his keeping, handling, or practices acceptable. Despicable would be a better word.

came across this wild story on instagram and had to post it

[tanuki-yuki]

I was asking myself for the longest time what could've happened to Mewo, looking back, I felt like the dissecation scene could be aluding to her being authanised, it'd make sense, since the butler says she has been ''bad'', and it's not uncomon for cats to become agressive, unstable or just plain sick when dealing with grief, specially considering she was Mari's cat, it'd also make sense as to why she is in the blank space and why she guides Sunny to the truth, anyways, Omori angst again for dinner, guess that's my life....

I LOVE YOU 😭😭

Okay so like the worst thing ever has happened viewer discretion is advised I need to leave a content warning for gore and violence against animals 😢

My Dog, Kratos, has just been promoted to service dog. I've been so excited bringing him everywhere he's been amazing in training.

Yesterday, we come back and my fiance caregiver and I are all standing in the kitchen when the dog walks down the hall toward the room of someone I can't discuss because of an active court case

He walks back we go into our bedroom and the person walks past our door and Kratos growls at him

Next thing we know he's bleeding profusely

We jump in the car and start running around looking for anywhere to take him for help.

In the car we can see this is a MASSIVE gash

I'm so confused how he got cut so badly by this point I think it must be his harness but then I realize there's no way because the harness is completely clean there's not a drop of blood on it and this isn't a friction burn...and the cut goes BACKWARD toward his ribs..not into his armpit...

We had to spend a few hours crowd funding but finally we were able to get to the vet my caregiver took me outside her work hours

We were there until 2am

The vet says there's no possible way it was the harness it had to have been something he got caught on (except the cut doesn't go the correct direction for that to be the case and he didn't get caught on anything) OR someone cut him with a knife.

They all agreed it looks like a very clean cut like someone cut him with a kitchen knife.

The overall treatment was supposed to cost $2000 but we only raised $400 so they did as much as they could for that price. We do not apply for care credit because our living situation has financially drained us so severely our credit scores are in the 500s.

We still need to take Kratos to a vet on Monday and get some quotes for finishing his treatment.

We have home care instructions, antibiotics, and pain medication but we need to finish getting him stitched up because when he stands up his skin dangles off his muscle

This looks like it was clearly done with a knife.

Kratos is resting now he's on his pain meds all zonked out and doesn't want me to leave his side for a single second 😭

I'm going to contact the charity based veterinarian on Monday and hope they can help if not I'll ask around and post the quote for stitches. For now everything is closed so I can only make him as comfortable as possible for the weekend.

At this point we need to just get out of here. This is a major escalation within our living situation and I'm just horrified that this happened.

A police report has been filed and we have a GoFundMe that will go toward more vet bills and application fees to escape this living situation.

Please please please donate anything you can and if you can't please share 😭

All proceeds are going toward further veterinary care and application fees so we can get out of here. We are enrolled in Rapid Rehousing through the VA but we have to be able to apply for places.

If someone is willing to hurt my baby I don't want to know what else they're willing to do... I'm distraught.

Thank you thank you thank you for your help 😭😭

And thank you for sharing

Kitten story that Just Happened Literally a Day Ago:

I was at my uncles house in the middle of bumfuck nowhere zoning out and staring at nothing when I zone back in to realize there’s a suspicious car throwing something in the ditch, the car speeds off like a bat out of hell and as I keep staring I see whatever was thrown MOVES and I take off running full tilt down the driveway to grab it.

It was a little black kitten. Someone had thrown a kitten out of their car on a country road. He’s super skinny but fully socialized and an absolute love bug.

If I had a nickel for every time I or a close friend witnessed someone hyuck a kitten out a car window and then acquired said kitten for ourselves I would have two nickels.

I don't normally recommend calling the cops but if you can describe the vehicle, time, and location I would place a report of animal cruelty on non-emergency

That is a recommendation I am making out of vindictive rage

I would like to give a happy congratulations to lighten the mood now but I'm actually very angry so I'm going to go hold my boy and wish you the best

Hey just a heads up if you're going to Minneapolis Pride this weekend, if you pass a booth with people asking you to watch a video and they'll pay you a dollar, don't do it. They're a group like PETA that's trying to trick you into watching a graphic video about animal slaughter. It's a ten minute video of animal gore that they're trying to play off as activism. If you are any type of sensitive to gore, don't watch the video.

This isn't any sort of criticism of vegans or vegetarians, this is just a friendly warning about groups that want to show you animals dying and covered in blood. Regardless of your opinions on animal welfare, that's not okay to show to people with no warning.

12 weeks old is insane!!!

Well I have learned my lesson about giving people second chances and trying to change them. sure do wish I had my camera, bass, bass amp, drumkit, mic and mic stand, and cables though.

Animal abuse is rarely a bad man with a big stick beating his pet.

Animal abuse is usually a perfectly normal person not knowing enough to give their pet proper care.

Or not caring enough to learn.

The “Fauci Dog Experiments” were formally revealed on Fox News PrimeTime. A report from the White Coat Waste Project (from a FOIA request) found that more than $400,000 in taxpayer money was spent on dog experiments where beagles were infected with parasites via biting flies and then killed for analysis.“…the dogs endured months of pain, and once researchers were done with them, they were killed.

This is the type of man that was charged with taking care of your health! 🤔

Something no one tells you about owning parrots is how much casual abuse will just end up on your social media feeds.

“We can’t handle this Macaw he’s a nightmare” and it is a picture of a WHOLE ASS ENTIRE MACAW in a 12x12 cage with nothing except one perch and then there’s a little “need what we paid $4000.00”

Four fuckin grand and you couldn’t give him - at the minimum - a decent cage and one toy?!?

Bad animal husbandry when done by an animal breeder is still bad husbandry
