[fymo-blogs]

I mean, it does have a point, but yeah, don't hold a cat like that...

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

[teaboot]

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!!!

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! 🤔

PLEASE PLEASE SHARE

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

[little-tunny]

I hope this doesn’t sound rude, but is B-man disabled? He’s really cute, but he also seems a little different from most cats, especially around the eyes! Is he just a funny little man or what?

Yes he’s disabled! He was born with CH, which causes issues with balance and motor control. However his case is very mild, and he’s learned to counter balance with his tail and silly gait as he’s grown up! I made a 3 minute video with a few animations all about CH when he was a kitten, if you’re interested to learn more about his disability, please watch it! 😁

🌱 Affirmations for zoophiles who were exposed to zoophilia and harmful content at a young age...

You are not at fault for your own paraphilia, you did not cause this for yourself, and you are not to blame,

You are still a good person, you are not lesser as a being for indulging or discovering these things at a younger age,

You are not an abuser for viewing animal harm before you could make informed decisions,

You are not disgusting, impure, or irredeemable for having had access to this content,

Your past acts do not define you, you understand the harm within those ideals and that content now,

It is okay to make mistakes, fuck up, and learn (hard way or not), you are not evil, you were a kid.

Regardless of if you were groomed into this content or zoophilia in general, or you discovered it on your own, you're not to blame.

You do not want to hurt animals, you will not reenact what you saw, you will be okay. Getting into harmful things when you're younger and have less of an understanding of the true harm behind it can make things much scarier as you get older. Not all zoophiles are bad people, including you.

You are not a bad person.

When I was much younger, I accessed this content, believing it wasn't harmful as I wasn't the one committing the acts. I didn't understand that I was still indulging in things that were at the exploitation of real animals, that a real animal was still being abused.

The guilt and self disgust from knowing I had access to that content is so repulsive now, and its made my intrusive thoughts significantly worse. I cannot go back in time and stop myself from doing this at such a vulnerable age, I can only continue on where I can and do my best to reduce harm.

You are not alone in doing things like this.

You will still be loved.
