>What is this?
哈啰街猫 or "Hello Street Cat" is an app developed by Guangxi Hapet Network Technology Co., Ltd. and launched in April 2023. This app strives to facilitate the feeding of stray cats, by the use of various "Intelligent Stray Cat Management Houses", which can record and stream video as well as dispense kibble, treats and water every time a user donates through the "Hello Street Cat" app.

It's animal abuse to keep cats indoors. Cats have a 5 mile living radius. They like to hang out with other cats, catch them birds and rodents who be slackin' and take naps in the sun.

Apparently all the locations of the cat feeders were leaked and the abusers started taking stray cats

Its animal abuse to let cats outside

They get merced within 2-4 years, kill endangered birds, and spread a disease that kills 20x more babies than pitbulls. A cat is not aware of its “natural” state. It’s a human creation, a domesticated with no purpose but home decor and lap warming. It has no natural state. It has no function in the ecosystem. It only has an ideal stimulation level.

incredibly necessary for the environment. There's a red paper wasps that nested in an old bird's nest in my garden last year. I didn't kill them. I respected their space. During the winter I carefully moved the birdhouse to a place that I wasn't around every day, but still within my property line. Fuck non-native wasps though I have no issue killing those ones.
I bend the knee to our native and naturalized apocrita overlords.

anyone here a loner? I'm thinking of getting a dog, but it'll just be me taking care of him/her. only family i have is my dad, who won't be able to help. is it too much for one person? i see a lot of dogs with families. i'm mostly worried about the puppy stage.

i have some spine problems so need a smaller dog, i wanted a cavalier king charles but they shed so much i'm leaning towards a cavapoo (which I'm sure you'll all hate, but, i met a few of them and they seem perfect for me).

It's happening.
I'm going to be raising a guide dog puppy.
I'm (and the pup) going to get a lot of training from the organisation but anything /dog/ recommends preparing ahead of time or being ready for?
The pup has just been born, so I've got another 8 weeks to wait.

Experience, let me ask you; how many dogs have you worked with? If the answer is less than 20 sit back and be quiet. Listen has the same letters as silent, funny ain’t it.

When is a bird "born"?
1) when the egg is laid
2) when the egg hatches

because their head is small compared to their body, so they're able to develop more before hatching
birds with a bigger head to body ratio evolved to hatch undeveloped because their mom would have a hard time to push out a huge egg with a megamind baby bird inside

It's maybe 2 cms. And hasn't moved since I discovered it(3 days), not that it was moving before. It's also hairy, I think, I haven't touched it. Is it a problem for my plants? Should I remove it?

>>4757714
It no longer presents any danger to your plants.
Once butterflies end their larvae stage and enter the pupa stage, they stop being voracious eaters and just kinda exist until turning into a butterfly (the reproductive stage)
>>
>>4757715
I don't know about this specific butterfly, but maybe 2 weeks? Maybe less, it seems to be a small kind of butterfly.
I have worked with silk butterflies so that's the only species specific knowledge I have.
>>
>>4757734
>>4757735
Thanks. Do you think I'll get the opportunity to see it "hatch"? Or does it only occur at night time or very quickly?
>>
>>4757832
You may be able to catch it mid hatch!
It takes a couple minutes, amd after that they have a period where they have to extend their wings and let them harden.
So even if you don't catch it hatching, you will most likely be able to see it getting its wings ready during the day.
>>
>>4757832
OP if you happen to catch it midhatch get a video in here to heal our souls, even if you gotta bake a new thread.

I'm a leaf and I'm always begging for burgers to shoot these whenever they see one, they shit everywhere and pollute lakes, attack people -- the problem is that the suburbs create the perfect predator-free environment for them, so they need to be shot, since we don't have guns, Americans, please!
>>
>>4757846
The problem is that the poop of Canadian geese cause algae bloom in lakes that throw the entire ecosystem out of whack -- and Canadian geese aren't just aggressive to humans but to other animals as well, so the excess of Canadian geese can lead to decrease in biodiversity! They overgraze the sedge that salmon youngs depend on: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/abundant-canada-geese-populations-threat-ecosystems-1.6507555

If you don't want to outright kill the birds, choose abortion, track down the nest and destroy the eggs.
