For your viewing pleasure, I present a screenshot of an interview with a veterinary surgeon featuring a whopper of a story about Dr. Donald Sinclair, the inspiration behind Siegfried Farnon in the James Herriot books and "All Creatures Great and Small" TV shows.

Gerty tried to unionize the clock shop when she was 10. This did not work because her siblings were 4 and 3, and as such, were not employees.

Irate client: [yelling at our receptionist] You are being naughty, and I am going to report you! *hangs up phone*

[Later, telling our boss what happened]

Receptionist: I don't think I've ever been called "naughty" before. I mean, other than maybe by my boyfriend...

I'm not even a sighthound owner yet and I'm already annoyed at people telling me to feed my dogs.

[the-dragon-invasion-is-near]

i love/sarcasm that every single time i tell someone i want to go to x university to x state (in México), the conversation goes like this

+"oh, what do you want to study?"

-" [carreer in x university]"

+"the one in y state?"

-"oh no, i don't want to live there, people say it's awful, i'm going to x state"

+"but x state is so dangerous rn! why don't you study here?" (note: my state is ALSO dangerous, it's just, y'know, home)

-"there isn't any university in here that has x carreer"

i just want to study bugs and plants and animals and stuff why is it so hard abshabshba

i wish people could happy for me instead of worried when i talk about my plans, like yea it's justified, we all know about the stuff that is going on everywhere, but still.

"I can fix him," with the intention of nuetring your man

Just a reminder if you decide to illegally take a wild animal from the wild for yourself, even if you have the best interests at heart, you could be killing it.

If you feed it the wrong diet you can cause it's bones to break or other diseases associated with mineral imbalances. If you feed it too much you could cause issues associated with obesity including excessive fat stores.

If you aren't a trained wildlife rehabilitator you won't understand the importance of preventing imprinting or humanising. So you'll cuddle it, play with it, and let your pets play with it. So it will think it can only get food from humans, and that humans and domestic pets are part of its family.

If you take it while it's still young it won't learn the necessary foraging and social skills from its parents to survive in the wild. You might joke you don't even need a cage for it, but it isn't able to go anywhere because you've made it dependant on you.

If you aren't a wildlife carer or in the animal health industry you might not realise it's injured and needs treatment. This could lead to broken bones setting in ways that the animal can't perform normal functions and suffering from a life of chronic pain. Or it could lead to it suffering a slow and agonising death.

You might also not be aware that wildlife can contain diseases that can make you sick or even kill you. You could put yourself and your loved ones at risk of serious zoonotic diseases by bringing it home.

And, if you are found to be illegally holding a wild animal without the intention of rehabilitating and releasing it, the authorities are stuck. They can't release the animal because it thinks humans and domestic pets are friends. It can't forage for itself. It can't socialise with its own kind. It could have injuries or diet associated diseases that mean it can't perform normal functions, or is suffering from chronic pain. If they released it, it would die.

Is it fair for that animal that your choices have led to it not being able to experience its life in the wild as it should?

If you take something from the wild and intend to keep it, I hope this makes you think twice.

These kinds of stories are all over social media now, but none of them tell this side. They normalise putting a wild animal though an incredibly stressful experience purely for likes and engagement.

If you want to be a hero, get accredited to be a wildlife rehabilitator. Join an amazing network of compassionate humans just like you who understand that wild things should be wild, and do everything they can to get them back there.

If you find a wild animal and you're not sure what to do, call your local veterinary clinic or wildlife rehabilitation group. Trust that we have the knowledge to make the best choices for that animal. And if you want to make those choices, join us.

Today my boss cut me accidentally with a scalpel after it was already used to cut the patient (a cat) & doing the whole day at work it didn't hurt. Sure when something came against it or some pressure was on it I feeled it... But that's it... Now that I am at home & my body can relax my whole arm started to hurt...

I'm not hamming it up
