fuck you.

if you see someone who has a pet spider, cockroach, mantis, snail/slug, or any other insect/arachnid/invertebrate and you feel the need to say something like “i would squash it” or “pour salt on it” or literally anything else promoting violence or calling their pet disgusting, you’re a repulsive person. it doesn’t matter how you personally feel about the animal, that owner deeply cares about them and they have the same bond as you do with your dog or cat. y’all would lose your minds if someone said “step on it” under a video of a puppy, so have that same energy if its a video of a tarantula. stop belittling and advocating for harm against peoples pets!!!!!!

oh??

who else is in the “didn’t realize sheep have long tails until i was like 20″ club

The reason most farmers dock (cut off) the tails is to prevent fly strike, an often lethal infection of fly larvae in the rear of the sheep. Without a (VERY FLUFFY) tail for fecal matter to accumulate on, fly strike is almost completely eliminated!

there is a wide variety of similar treatments for farm animals that are entirely for the animals well being pigs get their tail curled and tusks removed as babies so they dont accidentally nip each other while playing or stab each other just walking around- even a small tail nip might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood goats/cows often have their horns removed as babies as well both for obvious reasons to prevent stabbings but also to prevent them from growing in weird that can cause pain and infection for the animal chickens and other poultry, especially pet ones or hobby farms, might have their flight feathers clipped to prevent them from flying over fences, where their life expectancy is nill outside the farm/owners enclosure

Very good and valid points but please tell me what you mean by “might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood” before I lose my marbles

Pigs are omnivores and cannibals. Fun fact if you ever have need to dispose of a body, tossing it in a pigpen will get rid of it real fast.

There’s a reason why everyone went into a full blown panic when Dorothy fell into the pigpen in the Wizard of Oz. Pigs are vicious.
