➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

No cats until Cobra dies.
He would eat one. I'm not dealing with that.

I guess that makes sense and yeah pigs are super smart and can be pets too, I used to want one but not now, but I can understand how the line would be blurred, but idk. I still don’t consider puppies and kittens food. But then again people in India don’t consider cows food cause they’re sacred. There was a book I got a while ago about why some animals are valued more than other or considered food by some or whatever that looked pretty interesting but I haven’t read it yet. But I’ve been meaning to. I guess for some there probably isn’t a difference and I can’t really tell you why I consider some animals okay or different but draw the line at others, like why one’s life matters more than another, but I just.... do. Idk. Idk why there’s a difference to me but there is. But that said, I also don’t think even rats are nasty creatures either and I eventually want some or mice for pets so it’s not that they’re just vermin to me but idk. I guess it’s as long as it’s not my pet it’s okay. Idk. The line is pretty blurred there too for me.

And yeah, I guess that’s true, being eaten by coyotes or other predators, especially alive, is definitely horrible, and a terrible death, but I guess to me the difference is it’s not done purposely. They’re not willingly being fed to something. At least they had a chance. But I guess if it was killed first, the snake thing might be more humane. But idk. It’s still done purposely which I don’t really get but idk.

And sorry, I wasn’t trying to start a fight or anything. I was just a little shocked was all. But I guess to each their own.

If it helps, snake food is almost always humanely euthanized first, you don't want to risk the snake getting injured or killed every meal and that would be way unnecesarily traumatic for everyone.

My local humane society puts down a few hundred cats and kittens every year, so being from the city and seeing that maybe I'm biased towards there being any positive use for any of the extras I think they might get donated to the zoo which ends up basically the same thing.

I get what I deserve for complaining about how mild the seasons have gotten up here lately - a blizzard in May!

It killed my tomater.

Hm good point. Probably not a good idea lol

Well that’s good at least!! And yeah, it definitely would be! I was gonna say that would be especially messed up haha but I figured they would be put down first but wasn’t sure. But I still don’t think I could feed a kitten.

I never really thought of that before. I mean, I’ve read about how many animals are put down every year but not in a while and never really thought of that. I suppose if it could be food that’s better than just being killed for no reason but I was thinking it was just like random kittens or whatever. If the animal is going to be put down anyway, definitely a good idea to make use of it I guess, but then again the rescues probably wouldn’t let you anyway. :/ and I wouldn’t just snag some kittens off the street or something. Not that it would be any different but it would just feel weird to me killing before they even have a chance to develop a personality or anything, they could be the best cat ever but you wouldn’t know if they were put down. But I guess it could be worse putting down an older kitten. Idk.

I am now firmly of the opinion that anyone not a fan of cats has never had a good cat.

This is understandable. They are mostly weird.

My cat plays fetch too! Mostly when I'm on the couch watching TV and she wants attention.

Don't they usually get euthanized by injection? I thought the chemicals stayed in the body and could pass to whatever eats it? I thought I read somewhere that a shelter/pound wasn't following protocol and sent dead animals to the dump and raptors ended up dying because of the drugs.

I have no idea and I'm sure it's different everywhere

I have heard of plenty of weird shady crap.

Mine doesn’t play fetch but does know a few tricks lol

And yeah I think they use injection. I was wondering about the chemicals too.

I'm going to butt in and say that I am going to set around 40 coturnix eggs on the 29th of this month, they should hatch on the 15th of June I think. My first time hatching quail, any suggestions? And does anyone want to set with me?

I'm down.

I will set with you too.

Me. I hatched a few times. I will try to post the numbers when I get home. Are we tracking just quail, or also chickens and turkeys?
