➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Very astute. One flaw. I don't have any dogs. I have a Crazy Lady who has 7 dogs. You might be referring to those Borzoi.

I refer to them as emergency rations.

She is not amused.

I'm not either, they can eat a horse and are not getting fat.

You have 7 of those horses!?

I don't think I've ever acquired an animal that wasn't motivated by "because I want it". I'm the mad scientist sort, as you all know well. I do stuff for the sheer "Why not?" nine times out of ten. (Though, to be entirely fair, I usually stop wanting something entirely once I find out it's prohibitively expensive... except for a degree. In hindsight, maybe I should've stopped wanting that too, eh.) Doing something because you want to doesn't equate ill thought out or impulsive. Heck, it usually takes me years to decades to finalize plans. I pinch pennies until Lincoln has blood running out of his mouth from ruptures in his respiratory tissue, so I think I can splurge on having a few button quail around without feeling guilty, y'know?

I’m the same way. In fact, I do so much planning and research I usually never actually acquire the animal.

That's what I call the dog as well. She provides some practical purpose of scaring off large predators, so that's why she's emergency rations and not regular Saturday night rations.

Also, maybe I am just weak, but I don’t think I could ever eat a dog or cat or anything. But then again it probably depends. Like I’m sure if I got to know a cow, I wouldn’t want to eat the cow either. I just don’t know any cows. And I’m sure if it was like a vicious, mean, nasty dog trying to maul me I’d feel differently. Still don’t think I’d eat it though. If it was an emergency situation, like say a zombie apocalypse or the end of the world, then MAYBE. But even then probably not. Knowing me, I’d probably want to try to rehab/fix the dog and befriend it.

I’m too soft hearted lmao I wouldn’t last 5 seconds out there.

ANYWAY.

Vicious, mean, killer, psycho dog? I’d like to think maybe (but in reality probably not cause I’d likely try to fix it and I don’t think I could even shoot it let alone eat it)

Sweet, precious little Franklin? NO. WAY. I’d rather die than eat that sweet fur baby.

Libby? Ehh debatable. JUST KIDDING. Could never eat her either.

Heck, I probably couldn’t even eat one of chickens if it came down to it.

Like I said, too soft hearted.

I'll eat just about any meat if you hand it to me. I might draw the line at human.

So, if I’m understanding correctly, companionship is not a valid purpose for obtaining an animal or otherwise..
Do I want to ask what the Crazy Lady’s “purpose” is, then? Or would you rather get it over with and have the dogs sicced on you first.

I once made the mistake of telling a group of classmates that I would eat dog meat.
Didn’t make that mistake twice.

Oh, man. Did your nickname immediately become "dog eater"?

I like how it’s “might” draw the line there not definitely

I think if I didn’t know what it was, I’d probably eat anything too but if you told me what it was or if I knew the animal, I’d probably spit it out and/or cry and/or throw up

Okay wait... I must ask... not like any dog, right? Are there any particular/extenuating circumstances to this?? Like that you’d only eat it an emergency, etc.? Or you would just try it just to try it like any other meat on vacation or something??

Hey, if I'm hungry, don't get in my way.
