Am I the only one noticing this weird trend on TikTok where people post GoFundMes to buy animals—mostly birds—from chain pet stores?
I don’t know, is it weird that I find it kind of infuriating? It’s like… not only can you clearly not afford the upfront cost of the animal, but people on TikTok will gladly fund these impulse purchases—as long as the person frames it as "saving" the animal from the pet store. That’s the angle I keep seeing in these videos, and it just rubs me the wrong way.
#x#i watch a lot of pet content so i see these videos A LOT#and its almost always birds#which irks me even more because i have a lot of birds—majority rescues—from the same genre of people who makes these videos#birds are already so mistreated in the pet trade#ive worked in a pet store & i think its made me really bitter because people refuse to do the research and just see animals as toys or deco#and will usually get mad when you try to educate them as kindly as possible#like why are you yelling at me because i told you you shouldnt put multiple koi fish in a 30 gallon#im just yapping at this point but you know what my original point was lol

...We really need a registry for animal abusers/poachers.
No, I'm not joking. I'm so tired of neglectful idiots being able to have little to no restrictions on purchasing/adopting pets.
I know that this phrase is used for kids, but I feel like it fits for pets too.
Every pet deserves an owner, but not every owner deserves a pet.
#animals#pet#petblr#the ramblings of a crazy person#also we should just--ban the exotic pet trade#when i mean exotic i mean animals like monkeys zebras foxes what have you

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a Minecraft server whose spawn is actually nice. Where the houses and roads are well-designed and well-lit, and there aren't creeper holes left right and center. It's cool to see this game being played by a group of people who actually care about how the things around them look and who actually maintain their surroundings.
#sdmp#the HOA joke is whatever but it does actually contribute. spawn looks NICE. all the houses look NICE. accidental explosions are REPAIRED.#this isn't some anarchy bullshit where random players just roam and break stuff and steal from afk people#the sdmp EXPECTS YOU to play the game and to be overall cooperative with everyone#yeah people poke fun at each other and do shiesty trades but they don't kill pets and burn down houses. it's just not that kind of server#and i really enjoy that

nothing will be funnier than the fact that as a cult member, narinder is shorter than lamb (i think it's just bc all the followers are shorter than lamb, by design, but it's still funny to think about)
#cotl lamb#cotl narinder#cotl fanart#narinder#narilamb#doodles#digital art#i am forever salty that in my first playthrough my follower narinder didn't roll goo dtraits#and by good traits i mean he is not pettable#i am so mad#the only positive trait he rolled was the sickness giving faith one which is just like the most useless trait ever#at least be an unrepentant sinner or something!! like jeez#bro just really likes getting sick i guess. hate it here.#let me pet him!!! let me pet him....#kissing is not enough. that is not good enough for me. in fact#if i could trade the kissing for petting i would do so in a heartbeat#also has someone done the 'look ma look at that weird fuckin cat' vine yet#anyway guess what game has consumed me body and soul lately?#and guess who is my babygirl

So this lemur is a pet surrender and in April they're sending him to a sanctuary that specialises in primates and that's all fine and good!
But.

Gotta love this part of the post where she says she would never have a pet ring-tailed lemur, NOT because they're literally ENDANGERED, in part due to poaching for the exotic pet trade, but because they're aggressive and bad pets.
#also the fact that this is apparently a common discussion topic shows that its clearly something she's put thought into#meaning at some point in time she did possibly consider getting one#an endangered species. thats poached for the exotic pet trade#i just hope that while they have him they do some educational posts about lemurs being endangered and why poaching is such a problem#saveafox#not mustelids#yeah man no shit theyre aggressive and bad pets those are social wild animals that were ripped from their homes and their social group

Today my mama held me for the first time since she passed three years ago. It wasn't really her. But. I got to pretend for a moment that it was.
I miss my mama.
#I got into her Roblox account#originally I just signed in to put her stuff in my account#so that I could take care of her pets and wouldn't lose her things if something ever happened to her account#(in adopt me for clarification)#I had us sitting on a blanket in the new area bc then I would earn event currency while I spent the hours it took to transfer everything#we were sitting there together#for a moment even controlling her account I could believe that it was her#for a moment we were playing together again like we used to#I think she would have liked it#I had her say it was time to go back to her house in the chat#and I said 'okay‚ mama' back#and I switched into a baby and had her carry me back to the house#for a moment it was like she was real again#alive and here#tomorrow I'll put the rest of her stuff up for trade so it'll go to someone who wants it#for now I'll just sit here and cry

What is it with foxlike canids being really good at becoming an invasive species?
#Between the red fox in Australia and the common raccoon dog in Europe I’d say they’re pros at it#Usually it’s the smaller creatures like bugs and rabbits that do better in non-native climates#But huh I guess those furry fuckers are just really good at being in places they don’t belong#Also fur farms dumping their unwanted kits surely doesn’t help.#It got so bad in Europe that the US has banned imports on all species of raccoon dog because of what happened there#Which is why most Americans don’t even know a tanuki (japanese raccoon dog) is a real animal outside of anime#I mean the Japanese also have to deal with our real raccoons because so many people bought them from the exotic pet trade#So I guess it’s equivalent exchange#Still it’s a bit weird I guess#canid#canidae#invasive species#vulpini#foxes#fox#red fox#tanuki#raccoon dog#japanese raccoon dog#animals#conservation#environmental science#environment#ecology#Raccoon

my guesses for NCUC rollout (NOT FACTS this is Fully speculating just based on the AMA and general history of tnt nonsense)
NC Mall will crash relentlessly the first week or so (bad)
there will be different UC Styling sets (not just one item) and they will be accessible only by mystery capsule, meaning you’ll have to either buy multiple capsules to get the specific one you want or you’ll have to trade other users. Capsules will be at least 350NC (very bad. Will cause new levels of userbase backlash that will probably go ignored)
Styling sets will connect to your pet permanently. Existing UCs will have it pre attached. New UCs will have to acquire their desired set and attach it to their pet in a NC Mall substore hosted by the lutari silhouette we got a preview of. Once attached it can be toggled on and off but cannot be removed, and it will stay attached when pets are trading or adopted out (generally good. Keeps some of the PC trading functioning [people who don’t want to spend real money willing to trade names for UCs], saves users from needing gift boxes when transferring UC pets between their account. Does mean you need to purchase more style sets though since you can’t swap them from one pet to another on a whim)
new artwork will generally be nice looking but some will be considered general downgrades and the whole forced change will still be met with vitriol (neutral)
well named pets and aged pets will be the primary pool and status symbol. Probably more name for name trading in general if UCs are easy to access (neutral)
As confirmed via discord, pets will not have to be pre painted with your desired UC colour to have the style set applied. Faerie, Grey, and Darigan paint brushes will deflate as they are now essentially buyable with real money but non-UC colour paint brushes will remain high. (Good for managing paint brush inflation, bad for the ethics of suddenly being able to essentially pay real money to paint your pet)
hundreds of users will quit due to disliking new art or disliking that their (sometimes) hard earned status symbols have been reduced to nothing. Two thirds of those users will come back, because after a certain amount of time on this site no one ever really quits Neopets. (neutral)
#loud glowing#I’m just running my mouth and theorizing. I hope I’m wrong about some of these#thoughts? I really love hearing the range of responses to this decision#as someone who is overall neutral#(have a few lower tier UCs that I didn’t grind overly hard in the PC to get since two were adopted and one was a short trade chain)#(spent too much fucking money on customizing my other pets to bother making them UC)#(feels bad for people who’s trading hobbies or pet art are greatly affected but overall I just love when Shit Is Going Down on Neopets)

My cockatiel Bandit is molting right now and he looks so nasty 😂
If I didn't know what was happening, I'd be panicking thinking he's sick. Shoot, even though I KNOW what's happening I still am worried about him. 😂
On the plus side, I managed to get some of his shed feathers before he destroyed them so now I have a few intact wing and tail feathers from him for my collection. 👀
I always say the reason I have birds is so I can collect their feathers. It's a joke, of course. Mostly.
#as a kid i was obsessed with collecting feathers#come to learn collecting wild bird feathers is actually illegal lol#so i had to get my own birds 😂#just a PSA: I don't endorse keeping parrots as pets#they don't make good pets for most people#they aren't domesticated and really aren't well suited for captivity#a majority of my birds are rescues#that were already in the pet trade#i don't support breeding parrots as pets#if you want a bird as a pet look into domesticated species like pigeons and chickens and i think some finches#or look into rescuing parrots in need of homes#they live so long that they often are traded around a lot#okay i'll get off my soapbox now

thinking of seren. my little guy. they have problems
he's a little shopkeeper and sells modded artifacts to dubiously vanilla players. he's doing severe customer service and also lying about most of it, because a lot of modded items are (practically) just decorative junk that means nothing. Yeah, this shards of uhh ... viridium.. ... it's very rare and valuable due to its. .. magical properties.. which it has... because it's green... and used in protective charms. Surely you want to buy it. Please
he also at least at one point sells Exotic Pets. Look. They're ender-cats, a totally real thing, which you've just never seen because you've never been to the end. I've been to the End. What do you mean neither ender-aligned creatures nor cats are supposed to have carapaces, you've just never seen anything outside your narrow worldview [This is an endermite.]
#have you played the game well?#He is clocked quickly as a shady merchant. He Is a shady merchant.#But it's not really a place people stick around for long and he DOES identify as a sorcerer. Weird wizards with weird goods. Shrug#Sometimes this is offset by Vwoop asking SO NICIES to do buisiness irt books . Do you have volume four of Do Not Read (Annotated)#I'll trade you a novelization of the potato war :3 AND a near full collection of the l'cast transcripts#It copies books in its spare time. There are other books. It's just obsessed with drmsmp#Also they have a pet endermitecat called Sniffles. Sniffles is like one of those cats made by breeders playing god#But Vwoop loves them. Seren... tolerates them ...
