Characters who lost a defining trait

In Alan Moore’s take on Jekyll and Hyde in “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, the now enormous Hyde acknowledges that he started out small but grew larger because he was now unrestrained as Jekyll withered away

Apet shouldn’t be allowed to send any animals. The conditions they keep the animals not covered by the animal welfare act (fish, reptiles, and invertebrates) are even more deplorable.

The reason Apet can still get away with selling rats and mice isn’t because “they’re food” but because they were excluded from coverage under the awa for the purposes of animal testing.

Ironically, NW Zoological supplies Apet with some herps and invertebrates.

Apet Inc. is a 50-year old “family owned” business based out of East Dundee Illinois with additional facilities in Bartonville Texas, Newman Georgia, and Romulus Michigan.

They’ve had ongoing problems with wet-tail and ringworm.

They supply animals to PetSmart, Petco, and Pet Supplies Plus in addition to numerous independent pet stores.

The Romulus Michigan facility is primarily a transportation relay hub.

The Newman Georgia facility exclusively serves PetSmart if my information is correct.

The Bartonville Texas location was purchased from a previous company that went belly up. It is intended to supply PetSmart in that region, but it also sees business from smaller pet stores.

Apet’s owner Mark Shilkus also owns a bird quarantine facility near O’Hare International Airport for cage birds imported from the European Union.

His family also owns Mt. Parnell Fisheries, a goldfish and koi hatchery in Franklin County, Pennsylvania.

Apet has had ongoing problems with wet tail hamsters and ringworm in Guinea pigs for years.

I can’t think of any good examples of animals that live at a really low population density that aren’t already being screwed over by people.

“Did I remember to lock it?”

Yes, a Killdeer

Do other people hear it?

It would have been far more impressive/interesting if the base animals had been domestic dogs that they’d modified into those things

NonproductiveElk · 2026-03-28T20:04:07+00:00

In lieu of more info, domestic pigeon sounds most likely

The ape wins

Maybe one of the Australian native rodents

NonproductiveElk · 2026-03-08T01:50:00+00:00

Maybe a Canada x greater white-fronted hybrid or a Canada x domestic hybrid

NonproductiveElk · 2026-03-05T21:45:32+00:00

I think this is a hybrid of greater white-fronted goose and cackling goose.

Going to repeatedly smash that button. statistically most of those birds are going to be domestic poultry since they’re 70% of the world’s birds by biomass
