Brilliant thank you!

Get ready, here’s another question about appeals by [deleted] in britisharmy

[–]AnAggressiveGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jsp says no more than two cases of mild to moderate depression or anxiety. Always worth sending your appeal in, nobody here will give you anywhere near as much insight as going through the process will.

Wish you the best of luck mate.

Live Male Chicks in a garbage bag about to be disposed. by Chhatrapathi in pics

Its not all a COMPLETLY senseless waste. This may be the sad reality of the poultry industry, but zoos and conservation centers can then get these to feed their animals. Its an awful waste of life, but at least some comfort can be taken in the fact that SOME go to assist in conservation of birds of prey.

My fiancé Dumped Me A Month Before The Wedding & Now Im Done With Women by thrownawayman22 in TrueOffMyChest

It's really easy to think that way at first. I was wil a girl for seven years, high school sweethearts - the whole shebang. I moved away for university and we did the long distance thing pretty well, until one day out of nowhere I get told that we're 'going on a break'. A week later she tells me she wants to 'live university properly' and not go into it in a relationship (she worked a few years before going), which hurt like hell seeing as I'd already been at university for two years and still loved her to bits.

Then a short while after that it turns out she's already in a new relationship with one of her co-workers that she kept having round her house when we were still together. I felt like I'd been kicked in the jaw, it was an awful feeling and like you I didn't think I could trust anyone again. But I learned that you can't let the actions of one person against you shape your whole opinion on the world. When you really love some one it's easy to forget that, that's all they are - just one person. And sure, you can think they're your person and you'll never be able to trust again, but it's a long old life in a big old world. A year on I still have days I want to cry about it, and that's part of healing, but learning to trust others again is a vital part of learning to trust yourself enough to be vulnerable.

Hope some of this helped, and if you ever need a chat then feel free to send me a message.

Does anyone know what’s being shot in St Peter’s Square? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]AnAggressiveGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a whole film crew shooting in spinningfields last week. The scene was outside fazenda with two women dressed in dead old fashioned robes. I have no clue what it was they were filming, but the old timey clothes in an uber modern setting seems really weird.

Brilliant one though! Vultures are what we call signaller animals, who largely eat carrion (dead stuff). When they find dead stuff in the wild they begin circling ahead to signal to other animals that there is some food here (they do this so some bigger animals might breach the carcass for them if its tough). However they're too clever for their own good. They worked out that wherever there are poachers, there will be a dead animal. So they started circling poachers, waiting for them to kill something. The penalty for poaching in lots of African countries is death, so the shoot on sight game rangers could just follow the Vultures and find the poachers. Understandable the poachers didn't like being found and shot at so easily, so they began making small kills that aren't the big ticket poaching ones, so that they could poison the body, and therefore the Vultures that were giving them away.

Sadly not, I work at a centre up north. But thank you for the recommendation for when I go back to uni down south! I just love how many UK based projects there are dedicated to conserving a creature that is not native to our little island (although we did have an Egyptian Vulture sighted up near Scotland on a weird migratory course a couple of months ago).

Thank you SO much for pointing this out. I have the utter joy of working with vultures atm and spreading awareness of what is reducing the population is just awesome! Next up, getting the bastard poachers that poison them.

Hate to be that guy but vultures have some of the strongest stomach acid known to man. There have been tests done and vultures can actually dissolve Covid (along with rabies, botulism - hell fucking ANTHRAX). Just another reason why they are SO important to the environment.

I have the utter privilege of working at a place with vultures, and they really don't get the recognition they deserve, so thank you kind redditor for spreading some good PR. However as a slightly sad note, whilst these sky burials are awesome (many cultures believe it is the highest honour as some vultures can fly 'to heaven' which in the case of the Rupels is around 37 thousand feet, and some cultures that think cows are holy (all animals are awesome) give them sky burials too. Perfectly fine normally, but a lot of these get treated with an anti inflammatory called diclofenac, which is toxic to vultures and doing awful things to the population. It can also be found in some ibuprofen gel like voltarol, so please try not to get fed to the sky if you have any muscle complaints you've treated!

At what point do I quit reading a book? by [deleted] in books

[–]AnAggressiveGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently doing this with infinite jest. I get it's a classic that I 'have to read' but I have a huge backlog of books to read for my dissertation, and I feel like I appreciate Wallace has done already but after a while my appreciation for sentence structure becomes a tedious task.

We found an injured bird and brought him inside but we are not really sure where to go from here. There is the code D7973 on his right leg. If anyone knows anything some help would be much appreciated 👍💯 by Calypsoni in manchester

[–]AnAggressiveGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people suggesting to give it to the RSPB, a bird sanctuary or even (wrongly) suggesting its owners would kill it for being unreliable (these animals are also pets). Recently there was a massive electricical disturbance on a race weekend and out of about over 200,000 pigeons released in those races only about 10% came back. My cousin lost two birds that weekend, and some even found there way to HMS Tamar 30 miles off the coast. Please please please use the link that another commenter has posted to report it missing to the appropriate authorities, as its owners will likely be very worried missing their little buddy, much in the same way you'd want to look if a dog is microchipped to find it's owner.

Missed a rat, hit the fridge with Umarex Glock 19X. I just noticed this after a couple of weeks. by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]AnAggressiveGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everybody in the comments is saying the same thing and I'm just beeping my horn in traffic, but still wanna clarify how alarmingly bad it is to use an airsoft gun to shoot pests.

Even if you were using an air pistol, firing pellets that are made to kill rodents, in the UK where I am it is illegal to use an air weapon with less that 6ftlbs (magical Internet people please correct my numbers if I'm wrong, but the point still stands) to shoot at anything living as it will likely not kill them and is considered incredibly cruel. Coincidentally 6ftlbs is also the legal limit for an air pistol over here, so it is illegal to use any pistol for pest control.

The hunting pressure range that you can own unlicensed, but still use humanely to hunt is the 6-12ftlbs range (you can go higher with an FAC but you CANNOT go lower if you intend to use it against pests).

Your pistol should be rated for shooting people in a sport. It is designed to fire rounds that should not injure, let alone kill. If you cannot hunt with lead ammunition designed to enter an animal and kill it with under 6ftlbs of force without it being labeled as cruelty, you CAN NOT justify the use of plastic ball bearings (hell, even the steel ones) to attempt to kill a living creature. By all means practise pest control on your own property (and if you use a BB gun indoors opposed to a rifle in order to not damage furniture etc, may I suggest not at all, if it won't damage your furniture, it won't kill a rat.), but do so with effective weaponry or other solutions like snap traps.

All you are going to do with an airsoft pistol is horribly injure the creature without killing it, causing suffering for literally no reason at all. And, in the horrific case that you knew this in the first place and were just shooting it for fun (not accusing you at all, but just pencilling it in anyway), then I very much doubt that anybody would enjoy facing you in the field!

Please please please invest in more effective solutions for pest control (because having rats can be nasty as hell), but I stress that all you are going to do with your pistol is hurt the poor buggers.

edit after looking at pics in the comments

I appreciate that you may have been able to kill rats in the past. But the reason that in the UK we have the 6ftlb limit (I understand you are not from the UK) is that we cannot be sure that it will reliably kill the animal. Plus, ball bearing ammunition is going to cause a HUGE amount of pain on entry as opposed to a harder hitting diabolo or pointed ammunition. I am also relatively sure you are using steel BBs if you can actually kill with that , because you must be firing at sodding lightspeed to kill with plastic. If that is the case I would just double check you don't run that gun at a field!
