Strangely, there hasn’t been one of these yet (that I know of). So let’s fix that and get a thread going for all things pertaining to Mustelids - some of the hardiest, most enduring mammals.
This includes: Ferrets, Stoats, Wolverines, Badgers, Otters, Minks, Weasels, Martens, Grisons, Skunks, etc.
Ownership and advice for owning is also naturally welcome.

I hate lions. Overrated motherfuckers don’t deserve their reputation as King of the Beasts or King of the Jungle. They get mogged by so many herbivorous animals and even the lesser carnivores give them tons of shit. END THE LION HYPE.

You can theoretically do this with any animal given enough time. Lions and tigers can be tamed just as easily as a mountain lion. Snow leopards are a tiger’s closest relative, they’re big cats

can I get mine fellated?

Tl;dr we have a humongous walnut tree I practically grew up in, reading near the top branches and stuff. I kinda stopped a decade ago and I find it basically impossible to climb. It's just gotten? too wide and tall. Some lower branches critical to climbing further missing entirely now.

or I'm out of shape and you're not really meant to climb 20 meters/60 feet high anyway without safety equipment?
>>
>>4793055
Yeah I used to climb this apple tree in my old house when I was a kid. That old thing rotted out and is unclimbable now. Plus there was this one spruce tree at my friend's house which we all liked climbing, but I'm sure that thing also got way too tall to climb.
>>
>>4793055
Yes. Trees grow. Eventually you’ll need tools or something. Without branches you’re fucked

>>4793055
You're also far heavier than you were when you were younger so unless you've been lifting your power-to-weight ratio has been decreasing over time.
And even if you've been putting on muscle mass the ratio still isn't as great as when you were young and lighter.

It's not uncommon to hear people say that animals must have souls because clearly their dog, cat, horse or whatever has a distinct personality, emotions they can understand and relate to and so on. But if that's the case where do you draw the line? At cattle? Reptiles? Fish? Insects and other invertebrates? Amoebas?

All living things have souls, it's just some have greater souls than others. Amoebas have very weak lesser souls, but they still act on their own volition so they clearly have a soul even if it's a small one. A soul is the driving force behind a creature's actions. Something with a soul can act on its own volition without being acted upon. Humans have dominion over nature due to having higher and greater souls than the rest.
This is also why humans are subservient to God, because his soul is greater than a humans in the same way dogs are subservient to humans due to their souls being lesser
The hierarchy is as such
God > lesser gods > Mankind > Other

The christian god is not real

Sorry

The bible is constantly wrong. Real gods do not need ISSA METAPHOR cope squads or mental midgets shrieking shoddy psychoanalyses. Real gods never need soldiers of any kind. That’s how fake religions like scientology, mormonism, islam, and christianity operate.
>>
>>4793090
Real gods also dont need to distribute wine and cannabis oil to keep people faithful, like yahweh did.

Good thing the real god killed that fraud so we dont hear from him anymore. A shame his cultists never got the message and keep worshiping false messiahs and banished demons.
>>
>>4792887
The foundation of christian thought is that humans are actually greater than their god and dont have to listen, but have to follow him anyways because he has more violence

Thats because that was a fake god of course, just like humans are fake gods. Dogs can and would gladly ignore us. Compare huskies to border collies. They are equally smart and both are 3x dumber than a wolf. Border collies only listen because of the personality disorders we bred them to have. All that can make a dog subservient other than that is violence. Because we are fake gods. Just like your god - it was another kind of creature, just with more advanced “guns”.

The real god does not actually give a fuck about mortal affairs as long as no one usurps his position. The question of evil is human. To the real god, nameless and to us as we are to the worlds in our heads, evil is as consequential as a sneeze. Pain and suffering are temporary, memories are fake, death and birth never actually happen, and individuality is a thought experiment.

The real god does not care. As long as you never become a thought in their mind that insists it is actually god. Then you will be purged in a timescale that to the real god is an instant.
