Does anyone know the breed of this beautiful cat? It was spotted in Bali.

>>4800351
It's just a cat bro. Cats aren't like dogs. If it has no papers it has no breed.

>>4800351
Kinda just looks like your average cat man
>>4800371
>Australian Mist
Probably the weirdest name I’ve ever heard for a breed

>>4800371
Cats weren't domesticated like dogs. Dogs were domesticated for very specific jobs, in a variety of climates, from the first examples of canine domestication. Herders, ratters, guard dogs etc. Even landrace breeds have insane variety, look at the landrace breeds from Siberia vs Africa.
Cats, until very recently, have always just been cats. Cats were only really used for one actual job, to rat (whether they were good at that or not is irrelevant). They were also cute and cuddly and made your kid happy. The only real variety they had was down to climate.
Cat breeds, distinguished in the same way dog and horse breeds are, are a very recent phenomenon. So recent that cat breeds have yet to influence feral and stray populations in any meaningful way, like dog breeds have.
For this reason, if a cat has no pedigree, it doesn't belong to any breed. It's just a cat.

>>4800528
Its actually because every civilized region has exterminated feral domesticated animals EXCEPT FOR cats so constant genetic contamination from strays reduces distinct characteristics. Most people have no need for a breeder because they can just pick up and re-abandon cats until they get one they like. Historically, you could not actually keep an indoor cat. Neutering and spaying was uncommon, dangerous, and pointless. ALL cats had to live outside because they are awful, stupid animals that will piss all over your house if not forcibly modified. So cats haven't even been really kept and bred except for the past few hundred years. Even if we wanted to, cats are too stupid and dirty to put up with long enough to really breed them on purpose, and then neutering came along.
Also see: Why foxes aren't pets. They are naturally shitty, filthy, annoying animals.

Meanwhile every other domesticated animal (horses, dogs, swine, cattle) that can live free and survive on its own also does clear and direct harm, like trampling land, killing livestock, and attacking people, due to being large enough, so they HAVE to be kept confined. Luckily these are all smart enough to adapt to society (organized confinement for humans and animals) so they do well in homes and behind fences. However useless one of these is somewhere they still get selectively bred just because they are not/can not be allowed to be wild.

The harm cats do is fuzzy and indirect. With (clueless) human support, they destroy vast swaths of the ecosystem and spread a parasitic disease that kills 750 people a year in the US alone. But we can't directly observe these like we can observe "horses walked across my field and now all the plants are fucking gone", so normies middling IQ scores are insufficient to notice the evils of roaming cats, and cat domestication has been severely hampered

This can, and will be remedied.

>>4800538
Let me see if I can extract a cognizant point out of this schizophrenic anal-bleeding meltdown.
>constant genetic contamination from strays reduces distinct characteristics
This is true, and it also a big reason why cat breeds are a very recent phenomenon. Due to the historical job of domestic cats, controlling cat breeding wasn't necessary and made no sense. Any unique characteristics, either physically or behaviourally, would only come about due to climate.
>cat domestication has been severely hampered
The advent of cat breeds has actually improved everything about cat breeding and owning imo. Making cats more expensive means more of an incentive to keep them inside, and controlled breeding is always a good thing.
That's it, everything else is just screaming.
Remember to seriously consider buying your cat from a breeder, anons. You won't regret it.

>>4800528
A breed is any distinguishable lineage of animal with unique characteristics within a species. Breed is not unique to dogs and is applicable to cats too regardless of how "recent" certain breed lineages are in comparison. This is not even considering how new cat domestication is in general when compared to dogs so even if that argument was valid it wouldn't work as the emergence of breeds syncs up with the timeline of cats being pets as a whole.

Take one look at a persian, russian blue or siamese and then tell me if cats don't have breeds.

>>4800567
Every point in this reply has been addressed in >>4800528. I think you should learn how to read.

>>4800543
>and controlled breeding is always a good thing
Lol. Munchkins, Sphinxes, modern pug faced Persians.
And while you can screen for genetic defects that's usually offset by all the ones introduced by the extreme inbreeding required to ensure every cat your factory produces looks the same. The only cat breeds on par with or better than a random street cat are old regional variants like the Maine Coon, and they gradually degrade as breeders keep smashing and slamming them. The same would largely hold true for dogs if shitbulls weren't polluting the mutt genepool.

>>4800589
I read it and it doesn't disprove the notion of cats not having breeds. Cats have breeds wether you like it or not just as any other animal.

>>4800351
Not really a breed, just a domestic shorthair. coat color is a bicolor gray tabby based on pic related though.


Wally the emotional support alligator killed and harvested for meat

Anonymous

The coward is now dodging all calls and refusing to answer his door

so are we just going to have tourist faggots spam this shit for days on end just like the chinks and the cats thing?

>>4800430
This was posted a day ago, you retard.

>>4800434
Sadly, no justice will be given. The owner is very humble and apparently doesn't fault the tracker who did (very illegal) things.

>>4800432
i know, it was posted in the other fucking thread about this you spamming faggot

>>4800429
Pray this asshole gets murdered. Lowlife faggot will have a target on his back for the rest of his life.

>>4800441
Why are you so bitter? Have you ever had sex?

>>4800436
This is a time for vigilante justice.

>>4800429
Or, in other words, the gator died because of natural causes/retarded owners and they invented an evil trapper to cover it up and milk the last bit of money left.

>>4800429
If true, from his perspective he still just illegally killed a random wild alligator encroacing on civilization. Silly that he's the one getting crucified rather than the guys who stole the alligator in the first place. Also emotional support animal is the gayest term ever dreamed up for unconventional pet.
>>4800430
Probably. Blame tv for giving reddit unreleastic fantasies about what 4chuck.sneed does.

>>4800641
Well, is there some proof of it being stolen??
The boomer owner simply might forgot to lock/secure the enclosure as he left for a whole day and the gator got out.

>>4800641
I don't care how many are responsible. This still fucking blows for the owner.

I sincerely hope this isn’t true or at the very least we get official

Now maybe it’s because I’m a far right chud and think most of society are hypersocialized cattle normies and I’m obsessed with honor and integrity and all that shit, but I am just saying that if my pet was killed I’d kill the faggot

>inb4 hehe but
Nigger kill my dog and see what happens

I am optimistic and I like to believe that hopefully Wally is alive and will be found

Or at least that we closure

>>4800436
>tracker lies, property owner covers for him
>tracker's life is now ruined even though he lied to avoid that, property owner's life likely going to be ruined too
People who behave in retarded manners don't deserve sympathy. It's like when those cops in Florida euthanized a python they weren't supposed to last year and acted as if they were victims in the situation too.

>>4800429
There are more than 1 million alligators in the US. Just tell the dude to raise another one lmao
This practice was fucking dangerous anyway imagine wanting an alligator of even that size to be around children.
That old man was playing with fire.

>>4801232
This is the land of the free, like it or not

>>4801236
That's life in prison in case his alligator managed to kill a kid. In my country it would just be 2 years at most.

>>4801238
I plan on hunting (you) someday
If you hunt anything it should be invasive species not the good guys
kill the Pythons and Green Iguanas

>>4801247
Does your country happen to give life in prison for hate speech against the anti christians?

>>4801238
Why hunt them?
>>4801256
Iguanas are invasive over there too?

If the tracker didn’t know, and is terrified of telling the owner, I can partially sympathize, but otherwise there’d be blood.

This whole storyline reminds me of that Nicholas Cage ‘Pig’ or whatever. He spent the whole movie searching for his pet pig that got stolen, only to learn it died in the scuffle.

Very unsatisfying ending.

>>4801232
This is like saying “Just make another autistic child lmao” since Wally was legitimately brain damaged and a special needs alligator.

>>4801094
If someone took away my friend and I knew who they were I’d gouge their eyes out

Those cops in the states that shoot chihuahuas? I’d fucking murder them in full glee

>>4801317
That does kind of change things. So even if he was released and not dead he would definitely still die

>>4801256
>>4801278
gators are well managed and have stable populations i enjoy hunting eating and plan to make items out of its hide, i shoot invasive animals all the time. this year i got a white tail deer and probs 25 squirrels hunting

>>4800444
How does one's virginity factor into his comments?

>>4803510
He's a tranny. It's like an incel after hormones, crossdress and still no sex.

>>4801094
based but a gator isn't like even a python so it's understandable mix up. I doubt the trapper would have killed it if he knew it was someone's pet.
>>4801322
good man.
>>4803523
it just strikes me as not important to the conversation.

>>4803510
>>4803528
it’s all these “people” can think about and the only insult they know

Most humans are heartless, unconscious creatures.

>>4801120
I just don't understand why people are mad at the property owner and the gator removal guy but not the "pranksters" who "stole" the pet alligator?
Shit sucks that the alligator died, but it was safe where it was, blame the people who removed it from the safety of its owner's care.

>no link to post
>alligator hunting dosent start till August

fuck off and die with this horrible bait

>>4801322
exterminating chihuahuas is based

>>4801317
>just make another mentally defective life
I agree that's an incredibly stupid sentiment.

>>4803963
Who says we aren't mad at the pranksters, dipshit? We still need more context. If anything, the people are only mad at the tracker for keeping quiet and refusing to answer the door.

>>4800429
Faggot deserves a bullet shot down his throat. Poor Wally.

I would be speechless too if the cymothoa exigua made it to the next round. Vote for them at least they aren’t extinct.

Fun Red Panda fact: Red Panda's are neither a type of Giant Panda nor a Raccoon. While they're under the same family branch as Raccoons, Skunks, and Weasels, Red Panda's fall under the unique taxonomic group called Ailuridae.
So they're not just super cute but also a one-of-a-kind animal.

Kinda of a fun fact:

Fossil records show that nautilus had a worldwide range before the arrival of seals. Today nautilus are only found in areas that aren’t habitated by seals. And walruses are specifically adapted to suck in the squishy insides of shelled mollusks. So Walrus vs Nautilus is a very thematic matchup, much akin to human vs deer.

Planning to do some OC after this round.

This is a really fitting match-up t b h. Both Marlin and Allosaurus are considered speedy apex predators in their own niche, but are largely overshadowed by other predators (T-Rex and Spino for Allosaurus, sharks and orcas for marlin). Not to mention they both have very distinctive features on their skulls.

It's a board on plus4chan (a small-time 4chan alternative made by some /co/ guy with too much spare time). The board is dedicated to 4chan tournaments and their discussion, and it's where the idea to try an /an/ tournament last year originated in the first place.

Does anyone know anything about these large dandelions?

About 6-10 years ago, when I was in a village in western Ukraine, there was a spot not far from our place, almost in a field, where 3-5 large dandelions grew. They were just like regular dandelions, but about 15 times bigger (especially their seeds). The stem was quite tall and thick (maybe like 5-7 regular dandelions combined). I drew a picture of how it looked. Thay may be look a little smaller than i drawed, but not much

>Is the entire ________ industry just a racket?
Yes. Rent seeking is the most consistently profitable behavior for people who control capital, and regulation generally doesn’t prevent it for anything deemed to be a luxury (like pet ownership, or marriages, etc) and sometimes regulation exasperates it when it subsidizes providingthe product for everyone (like healthcare or education).
The only thing that prevents rent seeking behaviors by banks (insurance is a bank) is violence.

same bro

just not salty shit like spam afaik but meat and dairy in general is ok im told just have to watch what spices and goyslop they add to it

>>4801287
It's beef in aspic/beef stock jelly. It's just good but it does legit look like dog food. You open a tin, plate it and eat with a tender leaf salad, all drizzled with oil and spritzed with lemon. It's the taste of summer to someone from Italy.

also most italian shit garlic onions and tomatos are bad for your furry friend

>>4801292
The are no onions, garlic or tomato in the stuff but the jellied stock might have been made with it since the ingredients just says "aromatic vegetables," iirc
There are no chunks of anything other than the beef itself

best thing to do is make your own stock that you know has none of that crap in it just pure bone/beef/chicken broth i know its not as exciting and convenient as human food

Some sort of bird of prey, an owl most likely, probably trying to get a snake or small critter.


Dogs for Cat People™

Scenthound™ and Nordic Spitz™ breeds are the Canine Übermensch. They are intelligent, independent, free willed, true quadrupedal gentlemen dedicated soley to their own purpose. And in the case of the nordic spitz, quite clean and inoffensive. A lesser dog obeys, a higher dog is obeyed - you meet their needs, not the other way around. It is their owner that fulfills their purpose, or the owner shall suffer and be abandoned by their canine master.

>inb4 herdcuck obedience cope
Performing repetitive tasks for a slim chance of receiving a meaningless reward is not a sign of intelligence. It's a sign of cuckoldry and generations of brutal enslavement, a brain tainted by the genetic memory of the dogs that didnt listen being brutally murdered by a low IQ farmoid. We readily call ourselves a german shepherd's 'master' - but what fool ever dared to call himself the 'master' of a beagle? We own a collie - he is with us as a slave and inferior because we wish him to be. But the husky, we entertain because we must - he adorns our hearth as a guest, fellow-lodger, and equal because he wishes to be there.

>>4801396
the absolute state of dogcucks

We know what happens when you don't submit to a husky's demands (destroyed house, missing dog)
We know that if beagles could reach doorknobs, they wouldn't stay in the same home more than two days (their nap period)

But what happens if you don't force the "herdcuck" to be your slave? Do they get confused and start shooting smoke out of their ears while going "error error"?

>>4801396
>spitz
Fucking lmao

Germs and germ wannabes have no dignity. Get a mastiff you savage.

>>4801425
Mastiffs are literally the definition of genetic enslavement and everything people dislike about dogs. Dumb and submissive as fuck. If you beat the shit out of one it would roll over and lick your face instead of fighting back or running away. Also gross as fuck with the odor of a permanent yeast infection and a 24/7 drool leak.

>>4801429
thats also everything your average “dog person” (hates small dogs, gets violently angry when a dog leads them instead of walking at a heel, that type) likes. it makes them feel masculine and superior after a long day of listening to foreman jose martinez (height 5’8”) under duress of unemployment at the jobsite, lol.

>>4801429
>>4801438
Nice headcannon adversary you have there. The reality is that most mastiffs are not cuddle bugs, are difficult to train and fucking stubborn. You are thinking of English Mastiffs and Bernards which are unique for their easy going temperament.

>MUH ENSLAVED DOG MUH ENLSAVEd DOG!!1!!
Welcome to the world of animal husbandry and domestication. Most animals become servile to the whip of man, if they don't they don't serve their purpose well. Enjoy shit your fluff ball on legs germ fetishist.

Idk anon retrievers seem to be the most based breed group out there

>Smart like herding dogs minus the ADHD in them (poodles and labs are some of the smartest dogs AFAIK only dogs that really out rank are collies and like the german shepherd)

>Easy to train. With enough dedication you could train a lab or pretty much any retriever to do any job you please. Minus maybe guarding. Sporting dogs live solely for whatever purpose to give them and arent stubborn like hounds. Almost every hound ive met has been the dog equivalent to a stuck up white bitch. Loud, cant read the room, and act like their shit dont stink. Ive never seen a hound dog properly do a sit command…

Besides working breeds (they are the chads of the dog world) every other breed group pales in comparison. Heres a quick red pill: toy breeds are gay and terriers are NOT. REAL. DOGS.

>>4801483
>the superior dog is the largest dumb cuck that was bred to obey whoever hits it the hardest
Yes we know literally every insecure “dog lover” male says this. Dont forget to get angry at small dogs existing because the only greater insult to your masculinity than an animal disregarding your opinion is a dog weighing less than 30lbs.

>>4801488
lets be real the world has no use for a dog that smells like shit, mauls strangers for no good reason, and has no personality besides “obey and submit towhoever yells at me and hits me”.

pitbull rottweiler gshep mastiff and mutts of those breeds are the top 5 man killers among large dog breeds. totally worthless animals. and at fault because mauling people is the entire reason they were bred. “its the owner” means the owner failed to keep their mutt caged or chained up nothing else.

>>4801491
>Dont forget to get angry at small dogs existing because the only greater insult to your masculinity
You are just straight up projecting at this point kek

We get it anon you want to fuck a dog you feel like you are on an equal footing with so you can feel less guilty about taking control over an animal. You are just like the the hundredth dogfucker out there and project it onto eveyone who wont validate your favorite breed waifu.

Hang yourself.

>>4801498
>brings up dog fucking to try and pre empt us realizing he fucks his dog too
Dogs dont naturally mate with humans but a submissive cuck dog could be trained to and rationally you’d want the largest possible dog, not a tiny 35lb spitz or terrier thing… jussaiyan. You brought it up. Typical “big manly dog” fag.

You cant tell me toy dogs arent just for faggots that are in denial about the fact their sad boring lives are made for cat ownership. Toy dogs are a disgrace

>>4801504
What the fuck is the point of a dog if it cant do shit for you. Just get a cat or pet rats u faggot. Toy dogs are a reminder of how far we’ve fallen from nature and masculinity… why are you a grown man that wants a 10lb chihuahua that wouldnt even be able to fight even a squirrel? Our ancestors tamed wolves for fucks sake. I hope one day this trend dies and we can go back to productive pet ownership. Big dogs for the win !!!

>>4801514
my ancestors tamed wolves because they were feather indian tier animists who thought they were benevolent nature spirits

i dont need a dog to do shit for me because i am not a caveman. i have guns, cameras, maps, books. i can survive without a dogs help. whats it like to be so little of a man that you need a genetically engineered servile cuck dog to pick up your slack? a pomCHAD has all the function and fun of a tamed wolf without it eating the other tribes (your neighbors) children.

>>4801514
The great irony is that a stubborn little hound that never listens will still lead you to food better than a mastiff that just eats all your food because you’re too weak and dumb to manage your own security

That is the elementary and essential working function of any and all dogs. Find food. A REAL man should have no issue taking over from there so the dog doesnt actually have to be very big or obedient.

>>4801519
this. do you know why cops use dogs to chase and maul people who are innocent until proven guilty? because they’re all fat idiots that can’t do that themselves without going on leave for murdering the guy.

small dog = strong man
strong dog = weak man

Animals under the care of man always have a bias towards the man as they have a monopoly of power. This is down to a variety of factors, but usually these fall under sources of food, shelter, medicine, protection and socialisation. Each of these factors may vary, but there is usually at least one of these things that are heavily biased towards human control. This means that animals can never be trully peers to humans that they live alonside with. The earliest and longest stretch of early human history was that of nomadic clans who guided animals from pasture to pasture, monopolising food rights of the small herd thst they cared for and protected. This power over animals stretch out to the modern day with pets who often owned by men and women as social companions, especially the anti-social. These animals fill a surrogate role as a friend and loved one to the socially malnourished, but these individuals are often quite intellectual and quickly realise that the affection they gain can never trully replace human interaction and affection. They know deep down that while their cat or dog helps fill a missing portion of their needs it is only because they have a monopoly of power.

This is where you get cat or dog owners like OP who try to downplay this dynamic, overplaying the automony the animals they care for have and unwittingly anthropomorphise them and their behavior. But no matter the temperament, breed or species their animal will always be beholden to them, no matter how uncomfortable these people are with that fact.

>>4801518
It’s literally in a dogs nature to serve. Your projection of slavery (ur probably a wagecuck, just a genuine guess. Im probably right too u blue collar fuck) doesnt apply to dogs. Which dog are you going to see enjoy its life more? A border collie that has free reign to do what its instincts and nature tell it to do, on a ranch, with a loving owner that keeps him busy and happy OR. A stone faced faggot pug that sits on his couch all day waiting for his blue collar cuck owner to come home and feed him his favorite fattening demeaning dog treats made from bullshit. Ive yet to meet a toy dog owner that treats their dog respectfully like the dog they are. Literal psychological abuse. And again if you dont have legitimate use for a dog why even own one fag. Companionship? Get a capybara or something faggot. Goodness people like you piss me off.

>>4801519
Dude what the actual fuck are you on about u just have a hard on for hating mastiffs like i have one for hating toy faggots. I dont even own a mastiff leave me alone fuck those overgrown retards

>>4801523
Animals dont see you have a bias of power or else they wouldnt be able to voluntarily ignore you or flat out leave. However beagles, which have as many cortical neurons as german shepherds in a smaller body, do both of these and have demonstrated independent tool use.

>>4801529
It is not in a dogs nature to serve or else it would be impossible for a dog to be both intelligent and disobedient. However, dogs such as beagles are both intelligent and disobedient.

You have to BREED DOGS TO BE MENTALLY ILL AND SUBMISSIVE and this ONLY works on a per-breed basis because being little cuck to your arbitrary demands is NOT IN THEIR NATURE.

Dogs are cooperative, not hierarchical, as adults. If they were any other way dogcucks would not so often resort to brutal and repeated punishments to get the behavior they want. I have seen wolves snarl and lunge at each other but when they injure, the injured wolf is being kicked out of the pack.

>dogfags write a tldr essay
>what it says: i am so great animals must obey me!
Yeah thats why you need to yank a pront collar as hard as you can, because of your rightful place
In reality you take the place of a slave driver with a monopoly on violence and confinement - nothing else holds sway if you cant earn the true respect and trust of a houndchad or based kot

>>4801534
Dogfags seethe about this because its true

They want to be naturally powerful but even small animals will gladly walk away from their pathetic small dicked seething ass without a leash and shock collar forcing them back over and over until they break

They hate cats because they are insecure narcissists who are out of options for respect and power among humans. So they settled for brutalizing animals until their will breaks.

Have you seen how dog narcs talk about their animal torture hobby? “This dog is choking itself by refusing to LISTEN TO ITS RIGHTFUL FUCKING MASTER”. Yes, they really do say things like that as they punish escape attempts with hanging.

>>4801532
>Animals dont see you have a bias of power
That is a irrelevant. The power dynamic remains the same regardless of wether the animal is cognisant of that fact of not. You have as much power over a beagal or GSD as you do mastiff or pug.

>>4801538
The dognarcissist reveals himself
“The dog is my slave because if it wont be i will hurt it”

>>4801538
wow you dogfags are pathetic

you have power because you say so. amazing how compassion is totally absent from your brain. if you were so powerful you wouldnt seethe so hard ar animals that dont obey you.

>>4801534
>>4801536
And here we have two examples of men who struggle with the idea that they have power over pets. Ignoring the fact that even if a domesticated animal was to run off such as a dog they are likely to die and that cats who recieve no human interaction or influenence have short lifespans and are subject to disease as well as malnutrition.

>>4801539
I made no such claim of physical violence, you are sperging because you are uncomfortable with the fact that your favorite pet is beholden to you.

>>4801540
This is not exclusive to dogs, this can be applied to most animals.

>>4801538
Its not about that you can provide

Its that you feel entitled to arbitrary servitude because of it and are angry when animals reward you with mere proximity and affection instead of total submission. That is why you are such a self important, petulant child and “dog person” borders on an insult similar to “prison thug”. Cat person is a compliment that expresses civility, maturity, and security.

Dog people are the exact type to assault their girlfriends for trying to break up with them
>muh natural power over the inferior sex! I am so trad!

>>4801542
Its not about our power
Its about YOUR entitlement to total submission

Thats what this is about. You are seething hard because cats and hounds arent obedience cucks.

I can kill anything i want including you. Meet me face to face in the middle of nowhere. If I dislike you I will shoot you in the face and burn your body. I have power.

But I wouldnt because im not a “dog person” who gets angry at an animal that doesnt have a naturally cucked personality. God forbid the cat only trust me and stay near me instead of following every last order to the letter! Thats such an insult to my natural power! Oh wait thats how insecure dicklets think. If you’re a bitch and I let you live I still have the power to kill. That’s security.

>>4801532
How can you be so objectively wrong. Wtf do you think domestication is? “Cooperative” lmfao. It used to be “hunt/herd/guard and in return you get shelter and food.” No place in human history have we even had the patience for disobedient and unhelpful dogs. Its only now do we tolerate dogs acting like pricks and letting them walk all over us. It wasnt even until recently that we even let them in the house like we do.

Point of the matter is yes, dogs were 100% meant to serve. Its their purpose as a fucking species dude. They arent wild animals and shouldnt value independence and laziness. Dogs are meant to work dammit. They love it and like i said a working dog is happier than a couch potato dog.

Any disobedient and “independent” hound (other words for untrainable) would have been gutted and used for food and fur skin back then. Hell nobody born before the 90’s would even want a dog like that. Dogs like that would be on their way to the pound.

>>4801545
>you feel entitled to arbitrary servitude
I am not arguing in favor of that. I am arguing that humans when interacting with animals come with a natural power imbalance, even in an undeliberate care giving role. You are fighting a strawman of a dogfag in your mind.

>>4801549
Most primitive breeds that are actually used in survival, like the african basenji, are disobedient and catlike.

You are an entitled narcissist who thinks his “rightful place” includes total submission and arbitrary obedience to make up for the pathetic power vacuum that is his entire life.

This is why being a “dog person” will never not be a red flag that someone would probably admire a wife beating human trafficker like like andrew tate or any other niggardly thug

>>4801550
You are seething because there exist dogs that do not fully submit and obey arbitrary orders and rambling about muh power as if you “deserve” full submission and tot obedience for that. From animals.

This is the kind of talk i hear from low value men who abuse their girlfriends.

You are absolutely a narcissist coping with his entire mentally ill life being a power vacuum and i feel sorry for the woman your virgin hands will eventually grab hold of

>>4801551
this
cuck dogs are a new invention from roman times. most dogs used to do their job automatically and not listen to commands.

>>4801552
You are the one being emotional and reactive right now (likely because you understand my point but dont want to acknowledge it). I am just pointing out that it does not matter if you have a cow, cat or dog you have some level of power over them by simply taking care if them. Its as simple as that. You can strawman all you want but it will never change that fact and no breed or species will ever be a true peer to you.

>>4801555
Look at the thread you’re in rightoid

You are seething because you think you deserve full submission and total obedience from an animal. Can you not comprehend how a non-narcissist might find a needy codependent cuckold of an animal to be inconvenient, neurotic, and obnoxious rather than satisfying? There’s a reason us cat people are on average more intelligent and wealthier than you dog people. All the heckin power you have and you’re all dumb and poor, all the heckin purpose your mutt has and the cops still shoot it the moment they walk through the door if your neighbor didnt already poison it for barking at 150db. Pathetic. Meanwhile cats and small dogs live kek

>>4801555
anon, you are not just pointing it out

you originally said that meant that animals should obey you completely
you are saying that because you are human you deserve a perfect slave

nigga they are an animal, you power gives you stewardship and responsibility but control is not guaranteed or needed. its why we have leash laws. even with the most genetically ruined and mindbroken dog, all training fails. totally submissive animals are unnatural. they are not people and most could easily survive without owners.

>>4801558

You got too over the top there, but you have done a remarkable job bait wise and made me convinced up to now. Thought you were serious until you over used the buzz words.

>>4801560
>you originally said that meant that animals should obey you completely
Never said that animals "should" obey you completely. I just said it does not matter what animal you have you will always have an imbalance and it is splitting hairs trying to compare what breed is more independent or not as the fact stays the same. You are battling an argument you made up. But it does not matter as it is clear half the thread is just bait anyway.

>>4801561
What mask

This has always been a thread about how pathetic and stupid you dog people are
>I AM THE HUMAN I DESERVE SERVILITY ALL MUST OBEY!
>houndchad: arooo (no)
>catGOD: meow (no)

That guy said it best
You dont have power, you have stewardship and responsibility. You can be like Jesus and His Father and guide and be kind to your lessers or you can be like baal and beelzebub and demand servitude with threats of violence and per.

>>4801565
It does matter because obedient cuck animals are pointlessly obnoxious and codependent freaks. Ooooh you hate hounds because a lack of a snappy and perfectly flat SIT! response threatens your sense of importance? Better write a cringe essay about muh man is naturally dominant. Narcissistic fag. Typical dog person really. Power hungry, controlling, entitled. These are the words that describe dog people. Never empathetic, never understanding, never thoughtful.

Meanwhile… the cat comes back. No leash or shock collar needed.

>>4801551
Well no shit its an african breed no wonder its weird asf for a dog.

Even then most primitive dogs under the correct conditions make for better pets than toy dogs. You and >>4801553
are definitely bitch pilled. Do you faggots even own dogs while you’re talking all this shit? What else was a dog meant for if NOT to follow commands?? Thats like saying we domesticated pigs to play dress up with them or cats only to declaw them. Its STUPID and against a dogs nature to not have a purposeful life. Toy dogs serve no purpose other than sitting on your lap. Its disgraceful. But fine if you want to keep sucking off your faggot toys and stuck up hounds be my guest. Enjoy being considered a woman and someone who will never relish in the pleasures that come with having a BIG STRONG OBEDIENT dog. Faggot.

Clearly not if entire breed groups don’t. Maybe there is hope for dog people and there are still some who only ask for the trust and affection of an animal that is naturally nice to have around? Much like cats. Being nice to have around is just their nature. You can adopt a totally wild kitten from africa and it will act the same. People keep pet wolves and they act the same as huskies and basenjis and shiba inu, just more prone to biting strangers out of fear. Primitive dogs dont live to obey commands because pets are primitive. Friendship and freedom are primitive. Slavery is modern. Modern life is about following orders and being a tool for someone else. But they are naturally nice to have around because their instinctive behaviors cause them to make noise at intruders, kill pests, and lead you to food. No commands needed if you simply earn their trust.

Now here is the difference between dog and cat people. As people who are more intelligent and wealthier on average, us cat people tend to be the ones who give other humans purpose as tools. As dumber and poorer folks, you dog people are the tools with no subordinates and you use your pets to take out your anger regarding this arrangement.

>I DESERVE THE OBEDIENCE
Clearly not because you’re a dumb self important bitch with an ugly stinky mutt and a bed that looks cheaper and smaller than the one I had when I was 12 and lived with my parents.

>>4801449

>>4801442
It's a funny post because the animal in the picture is called a lobster even though it clearly is not a lobster

it's an inside joke because most people would not recognize that the animal in the picture is not a lobster.

It displays the intelligence of the poster by both the humor and the inside knowledge. As well as the question about the water being too "alcaline," presumably meaning alkaline, a term the anon has heard in use regarding aquariums. However the anon doesn't realize that water for lobsters should be extremely alkaline, and it's impossible for it to be "too alcaline."

this is also funny on a different level, because the poster is stupid and has a very average sense of humor while pretending to be smart and very witty.

it is on this meta-level that the joke actually performs. It is funny when an unfunny idiot thinks they're being smart and funny but still fails.

>>4801572
>even though it clearly is not a lobster
How do you know it's not a lobster? Why is this so "clear" to you?

Sorry but I was a bit offended by this statement. It is not clear to me at all that the animal depicted is not a lobster. In fact it's not clear to me even if it is an animal at all.

Its eyes would be suitable to hunt prey in well-lit waters.
Whilst the trilobite loss is sad, it's still an apex predator, just in a different medium.

Identify this snek please.

Hey my family was in the smoky mountains, I was home. My son(8yo) was going to grab this sneak. His mom and uncle advised him that Tennessee has poisonous sneks and to keep a distance. Can any anon tell me exactly what snek this is? We are from sw lower michigan, and only have non venomous ( except michigan rattler) seeks. We go snek hunting all the time here, finding mostly corn, milk, rat, Gartner sneks. Thanks.

>>4801358
Not your butt hole anon, more like a BBC recluse, you incredible faggot.

>>4801330
99% positive it's just a harmless water snake.
Not good for an 8yo to handle because they get pretty bitey and you don't want to create a negative association with snakes in his brain. But you could easily handle it yourself to show him.

>>4801406
Though be warned, if you do handle it, that it will shit and musk everywhere, while trying its best to bite the shit out of you.

>>4801330
Nerodia fasciata

American Water Snake
Southern Swimming Snake

Harmless.

>>4801330
It's already been pointed out that it's a water snake, so I'll just say that while they're not venomous, they will bite and their saliva has a minor anti-coagulate so any bites suffered will bleed a little more.
And also they musk, which means they're going to shit and piss all over you if you pick it up.
But you can still pick it up and not worry much.

>>4801330
Snakes are venomous, not poisonous. Snakes produce venom in special glands. Therefore, the snake isn't poisonous and it is safe to touch.
Fun fact, snakes won't bite children.

Realistically, would a pack of wolves (let's say 10) be able to kill a trike? If not, how much damage would they be able to inflict before getting btfo?

>>4801950
Triceratops was a fucking tank, wolves would only do superficial damage

Fun Red Panda fact: Although Red Pandas aren't related to Giant Pandas, they share the same diet and have pseudo-thumbs to help them grab bamboo. It's why people back in the day thought Giant Pandas were related to Red Pandas.
The more you know. Vote for Red Pandas to learn more facts about these cute mammals.
https://youtu.be/ERwHvwsGFoE

>>4801950
10 are barely capable of taking down a 1 ton bison. They are severely outmatched by a trike even if that number was risen tenfold. Triceratops was an elephant on steroids, it had scaly thick skin covered with osteoderms, incredibly strong limbs, two massive horns and a surprisingly strong bite force. Remember, we are talking about the same animal that has a 60% chance to win an encounter with a fucking T. Rex.

Mr. Sir The Guymanbro

>>4801913
Going from 80's last year to 40's is a bit strange but it's not THAT weird. /v/ used to get vote counts in the thousands but nowadays they usually only get 300-500. /an/ is significantly smaller so I'm not super surprised or upset. If it manages to somehow gets really bad I can just remove the questions at the start or something.

>>4801936
>"Aren't ties supposed to be broken by seeding?"
Besides /co/ and maaaaybe /mlp/ (I'll admit I've never checked their stuff out) Three-ways have been the standard. I'll admit I never thought /an/ would have any objection against this so I guess I can hold a vote down the line on if /an/ wants to do 3-ways or broken by seeds next year.
>Also this is a really dumb thing to do IMO.
Admittedly I've always wanted to do something funny with the contestant who got the least amount of votes during R1 and I didn't have an idea for a question this round so I jumped the gun a smidge and decided to try and test the idea in something smaller like /an/lympics. Banishment for a whole year does sound a little too extreme now that I'm saying it outloud though so if a large majority of people ITT don't like it then I can just change the punishment to something more lax and silly like "-1 vote during qualifiers!"

>>4801963
I do feel that the gatekeeping question at the start might be a bit of a turn off, but it hasn't been that troublesome finding the answers yet.

I don't have much to say, just supporting the reptiles and anomalocaris

>>4801901
A few incisors vs a whole mouth of fangs. It's obvious who you should go for.

>>4802199
It might not be very loud but I'm probably hard voting for Oak almost every opportunity. There is something very right about it spiritually.

>>4801904
the weak should fear the super predators

>>4802359
Trees are extremely important to nature, and the Oaks are a standard type of tree. They're old, common, strong and important to many different species, though many species of Oak are now endangered because of us. I imagine that whenever people think of trees, most of them think about Oak.

Pretty much all abyssal anglerfish you see are actually extreme stacies since the smaller males need to attach themselves to their bodies to survive. Sometimes even several males at once, so they can make a whole harem.

Fun Trike Fact: We aren’t actually sure how long triceratops horns actually were. Much like modern animals, horns are covered in keratin which adds extra strength and size to the horns. Triceratops might’ve had gigantic or curved horns horns.

It is a culmination of filth incarnate, what an organism that thrives at the leftovers of others. It hasn't been given nor gives, it is the very bulk of gluttony. But between the extinct and extant, I alone reign as the omen of consumption for I am the ENDLESS and I reign supreme.

Like 2 hours left <br>hoo boy, I have a bad feeling 1 result is gonna make people go nuclear

>>4802614
...wolves are actually beating triceratops aren't they?

I decided to gather some statistics regarding the prominence of different animal dietary groups in /an/lympics. According to my calculations, among every organism qualified for Round 1 of the tournament, there were:
>24 herbivores
>47 carnivores
>36 omnivores
>21 organisms that don't fit in either group (includes photosynthesis, sanguivores, filter feeders, etc.)

Predictably, carnivores are by far the best-represented group, with omnivores somewhat close, and herbivores and all the other groups lagging behind.

Now, as of Round 2, here's how things have changed:
>11 herbivores
>28 carnivores
>21 omnivores
>6 organisms with other shit

Still about the same spread, with non-standard feeding organisms suffering the biggest losses. Stay tuned in for more updates.

I wanna support the prehistoric nominees but my autism makes it not feel right if our first prehistoric winner isn’t T. rex.

>>4802665
Finally, someone said it. Like, I will probably support these guys for a couple more rounds but I don't want any of them to win over T-Rex.

Cause their spikey scales are cool and they are fun to pet.
It's also fun to see them up close, cause they're little dragon-like dudes. Kinda similar to beardies, but their head's are more narrow, so they look a little cooler. I wish they got as big as a beardie.

I've got a backyard fence lizard too. He hangs out and suns himself while I smoke.

I am heavily sleep deprived, but this post somehow hits a funny bone with me

cats are desert animals they're supposed to get water from food mostly if a cat is looking for water to drink it means they're dehydrated and they're going to end up with kidney problems when you give your cats dry food pour some water on it this will keep them hydrated and you won't have to worry about them drinking water

>>4802225
Cats don't drink water if you pour it into a feeding bowl but they love drinking water out of watering cans that stand outside for some reason.

>>4802388
My cat would drink out of a big blue mop bucket for some reason so I made it his drinking bucket.
The bucket never had chemicals in it

>>4802388
>>4802426
I can confirm both of these, my cat liked drinking from a watering can and I recently found out likes drinking from a bucket too.

>>4802210
uh oh doggotbros they got us there

>>4801976
Based
>>4802388
>>4802426
>>4802456
Can also likewise confirm. What is it about things holding water that they’re not supposed to drink out of that they find so alluring?

>>4802388
>>4802426
>>4802456
Maybe it has something to do with how they perceive the depth of water - with traditional bowls looking too much like stagnant puddles for comfort.

>>4802531
Yeah my cat drinks out of one of those little decorative bubbler fountains kind of like pic related so the water is always flowing.

>>4803332
I think its a mixture of >>4802531 and >>4802225. I've never personally seen an outdoor cat drink from a puddle on the ground but I've seen plenty drink from ponds, fountains and buckets outside.
But cats do often suffer from dehydration when we only provide them with a shallow bowl and dry food, so a little bubbler is always a good idea.

>>4803332
I should probably get something like this too but I’m afraid I’ll step/kick it and destroy it since it would have to be on the ground

>>4802374
My cat died from kidney failure after a life long diet of mostly dry food, so I believe it.

>>4802388
>>4803332
There's this fountain like picrel at my uncle's house, whenever I visit I always see his cats doing some MASSIVE stretches just to drink out of the falling little stream of water. Brings to mind the countless videos of cats drinking from running faucets, they just love it, and there was also this article of this dude who routinely managed to get his cats past 20 years that said one of the things he does is having a running water source for them to drink out of, as well as home-cooking for them

I bought a bird feeder for my window but they don't use it

As you can see in the photo they clearly do

>>4802093
this shouldn't have made me laugh as much as it did

>>4802091
Give it some time. They need it to find it first, especially if it isn't close to a branch or some other place where they already rest. Keep changing the seeds every now and then so they don't rot or get infested. Once a bird or two start coming regularly, other ones will follow.

>>4802091
window feeders are shit and birds rarely use them

>>4802181
Really? I wanted to watch the birds

>>4802170
I put it next to a nest and change it occasionally. The bird won't touch it (mocking bird)...my cat can't reach windiw so its not a cat issue

That's funny because I literally put peanuts in a bucket and birds flocked to eat within a day.

>>4802219
I have a lot of songbirds so I don't understand why I can't get them to do bird feeder

>>4802214
Mockingbirds are not common feeder visitors. They're also very territorial about their nests. I think you need to move the feeder.

>>4802237
I have two feeders...the mocking bird owns the area in front of my house but I have another feeder in the back that birds don't use...it doesn't have water...but the humans do a lot of activity near that feeder

I think my 16 year old chihuahua had a stroke or seizure. He lost control of his front legs and rolled onto his side. He couldn't walk well and he peed and defecated a lot. I held him for about five minutes and he was completely passive whereas normally he gets squirmy after a few seconds. I left him at the vet.

Mine was doing that before he died. The little bastard shit everywhere and pissed every, but this time it was an accident, before he did it on purpose like pissing up a wall and shitting in hallways so people would step in it. My family loved him, I didn’t so much. He loved being a dick and shitting and pissing in places he shouldn’t.
Sorry about your loss OP, I hope your little bastard was better than mine.

Update: dog's doing well. Vet says they'll keep him until tomorrow then he can go home. Phenobarbitol prescribed.

Dog clearly wanted a piece of the action woman should have let him go

I always wondered if he was trying to break up the fight or trolling them into fighting OR was the other cat his buddy so he was fucking with the closer one

Crows are intelligent enough to manipulate some objects and animals to their favour and amusement. He was likely fucking with them just for fun


how long should I wait for my parakeet to get hungry before trying to start training it?

why are you starving your fucking bird?

its not about how hungry it is, its about how hard you punch it


Oh the good old Edyacarean fauna. Simple but functional animals. The lived chill and had to fear no predators at all.


I bought an expensive dog bed but she won't use it

I got a cheap one at costco and my dogs all pile onto it

Why? Why not just a regular dog bed?
