why would anyone be in favor of that when you can just eat mass produced livestock or hunt them easily with modern technology?huh, really makes you think

https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/advice/gardening-for-wildlife/animal-deterrents/cats-and-garden-birds/are-cats-causing-bird-declines/>Despite the large numbers of birds killed by cats in gardens, there is no clear scientific evidence that such mortality is causing bird populations to decline.>Research shows that these declines are usually caused by habitat change or loss, particularly on farmland.>Populations of species that are most abundant in gardens tend to be increasing, despite the presence of cats.Perhaps we should base our assumptions on empirical evidence (or lack thereof) of cats destroying bird populations in the US and UK, rather than always harp on about how outdoor cats are a menace to ecosystems in those places.
>>3031153They count the prey of a lot of outdoor cats and multiply the average prey a year with the estimated number of outdoor cats, strays and ferals in the area I guess.The main problem with those studies aren't the numbers though, but that they don't tell you anything about the species and how the predatory pet affects their populations.
>>3029622>why fix the gaping hole in the boat, lets focus on drying the droplets off that spilled over the railing
>>3029608Yeah but the cats are occasional sweets in this comparison, habitat loss the brushing.
>>3029627I would say about tree fiddy
>>3031153This is the study that is usually citedhttp://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v4/n1/full/ncomms2380.htmlIt looks solid to me as someone who always frowns when media reports science (they pick a single study that might attract clicks and report that science now says this or that). One study is just a start not a conclusion. But this one used data from many previous studies.

there's a disgusting chink animal abuser in vietnam, all we have rn is his youtube channelsbasically he hurts animals and puts them in bear traps just to film themhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd3Hx-DRR1e2a68sKoYbBMghelp be appreciated, fuck chinks
What would be the point in tracking Asians in countries where animal abuse isn't taken seriously? They all look the same anyway so it's a long shot.
Only way to prevent chinks from animal abuse would be to kill all chinks.. An impossible task, cause just as sand niggers they multiply like fucking cockroaches.

If your pet grew to be as big as an average adult human, would you fear for your safety?
>>3030836id rather not
>>3030853Just look at those talons.

>>3031027it is a kind of arachnid Tailless whip scorpions
>>3031027oh wait no, looks like a weird species of harvestman. also an arachnid
>>3030950A bowl can work, but Triops prefer more ground space than height. Thermometer depends on species. T. cancriformis won't need one, T. longicaudatus also work if your room temperature is 22°C or above, other species do prefer it even warmer and would likely need one. You could get by without a filter, but your water will end up looking like diarrhea, even with frequent water changes. At least a small sponge filter is definitely worth it. >>3031031You could keep adults together with animals that can't hurt them, but the short lifespan of Triops makes it impractical. Most fish would nip on their constantly moving legs, and injuries to them are fatal since they breathe through them. I guess a pleco would be harmless enough for an adult Triops. Problem is that you'd still need to raise the Triops in a separate tank until they are big enough to not get eaten. And after their 1-3 month lifespan is over you need to dry the substrate in order to hatch all the eggs laid in there.

>>3030636Yeah, but it's a baby. Like 10 weeks. She probably doesn't have any favorite flockmate by then?
>>3030892Cockatiel
>>3030955Can I ask what makes them easier for beginners than finches? Is it have to do with numbers of them?
>>3030582be gay
>>3030968Because there is no beginner bird. You just can't take a bird for a few months "oh this is just a beginner bird!"Birds are usually almost for life. Tiny finches live 10 years. Cockatiels 15-30. Bigger cockatoos 30-70So get a nice bird in the beginning. Get something you want, not something you want as a training.Cockatiels have characteristics of a bigger parrot but are easier to maintain and aren't loud and eat only a little and mostly seeds and pellets
my dog seems to be having trouble breathing. I think it’s allergiess. Any advice on what to do here? He looks like he’s gasping

I prefer chihuahua anon to daily winston desu. At least chihuahua anon puts in some effort, though sometimes it's really obnoxious.
>>3031129Cheers
>>3031129I do too. Winston's owner was an insufferable faggot. Chihuahuanon is a troll, but damn did they trigger Winston fag. Chihuahuanon posts these stupid threads asking for help, and newfags respond. The fact that you can post proof that he is full of shit, and newfags continue to "help" just shows people don't read the thread, and that's on them.
Hi /an/ Can anyone give a complete noob any advice on my first time trying to grow bonsai from seed? I've got some Chinese elm seeds in a fridge right now, and I've just put some acacia seeds out after soaking them over night. How often would I water acacia seeds? Cheers.
>>3027829Can I just dig out a tree that's already a few years old and is pretty thick on it's base but has been cut back almost to the ground every year?
>>3027876Yeah, you can. In fact, thats a pretty common thing in bonsai called yamadori. Comes with its own set of challenges though, namely that you'll want to choose a tree that has good bonsai characteristics from the get-go. This usually means good trunk "movement" and no inverse taper (i.e. at no point does the trunk get thicker as you move from the ground to the apex). Given that you're dealing with a tree that's already been chopped repeatedly, you might be good. A trunk chop is one of the most common techniques for achieving good taper and movement.
>>3026193I am in the process of doing a silver maple bonsai from seed. To give you an idea of what I'm doing in the process, I have 12 of them growing outside, and 3-4 years into growth I'll pick the best one or two for bonsai purposes depending on which exhibit the best potential. As others said you're better off finding other material to start with, even urban yamadori is quite interesting, regardless starting form seed is not where you should start in the hobby. I'll possibly do a grove from seed next which will also take many years to even get started as bonsai.
bump
>>3028347Nice, I'll try it. It doesn't even have to look good, I just want to play around a bit to see if I like it and to learn some basics. I wouldn't want to fuck up good ones and my neighbours try to get rid of said tree for years.What would be a good time of the year to dig that boy out?>>3029488Feel free to post pictures for total noobs.
