My advice is: don't get any more animals!

Even better!

It's not mature to reply to my conversation with an 'F' off without explaining why I should?

Oh, yeah, I was not trolling. When I troll I am far more effective.

Don't start an argument with me if you don't have good arguing points. literally all your points made no sense and could be used against you smh

This is a thread to vent in. No names, no identifying information.

For example,
"If you don't want to be called lazy, try not being lazy."

Edit to add a couple more rules. Remember that we're in a public forum, so let's keep sensitive topics out of this thread. No politics, no religion, etc.

How’s about..where is the human responsibility? We move into an area where let’s say, bobcats have lived millions of years. We then put out “come eat me” prey items like chickens, the bobcat goes bobcatting and eats them. Owner gets pissed, shoots bobcat, posts pic of dead bobcat, gets lots of likes, high fives in the comments. Where is the human responsibility of keeping said “come eat me prey items” inside an electric fence, or any basic protection so the predator, which was there before the humans or prey items can’t actually eat them?? Won’t more bobcats come to eat them? Again..where..is..the..human..responsibility?

Surviving is not thriving. Just because your chicken, who you keep in your apartment and don't provide a proper diet is alive, or your rabbit who you've stuffed in a little cage with no room to live in is alive, does not mean it is okay.

If you can't provide an animal with the best life possible, with plenty of space, the best diet possible, attention, time, training, etc. then do not get the animal. Animals are living creatures and deserve happiness and healthy lives. If you're too cheap or don't want to bother, then don't be selfish and get one just because you think it's cool or cute.

Like a fine wine or a malt beverage… time, education, skill & wisdom created such “effective” ability with such laser like precision….

as compared the current population of “carpet bombing” method…..(rolls eyes)

That's not what this thread was started for.....unfortunately the OP's premise has been lost.
Might need to start your own thread to discuss your concerns.

Yes. ‘Its true…
As I am quite human. I have had it served many ways from Sunday in this life….

alas…. My reactions to someone this afternoon on the way home starts here at post #928

And for the record, I did not fly the bird for them as I got away from them…. I did advice them to refrain from further driving while practicing Recal-cranial-inversion….
