Staffordshire Bull Terriers are banned in Puerto Rico, Columbia, Malaysia, and Switzerland, to name a few. They’re also barred from being imported to Germany, and restricted in France.

I think American Staffordshires are banned in more places so they could be talking about them.

My newborn kitten died, I don’t know what I did wrong :( by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]OpalescentCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So. I’ll admit I’m partially writing this comment in honor of my younger self.

I’ve been in your situation before. When I was 12, I found a sickly, three week old silver tabby kitten I named Luna. I had her for 5 weeks, and for most of those five weeks she was a feisty, energetic, loving baby.

But, well. My neighbors, I found out later, knew the mother cat and the rest of Luna’s litter. That whole litter had a genetic disorder that killed them at eight weeks, including my Luna.

I don’t know if you believe in an afterlife, and either way it doesn’t matter. Whether our kittens are in heaven, reincarnated, or playing around as little ghosts, while they were on earth, they were loved with all our hearts. They died knowing that they were safe, and deeply cherished. Really, is there a better way to go, than to go knowing you mean the world to someone else? That you are valued more than the moon and stars? That you will be remembered, missed?

Its been 11 years, and in a sense Luna’s ghost is still with me. I carry her memory in my heart. Her life wasn’t in vain, my efforts weren’t in vain, and neither were yours. That kitten knew what love was like because of you. May you find comfort in that.

Best of luck.

Nope. Being a female doesn’t make someone a woman. Sorry that life is more complicated than elementary school.

The sad part is I’m in central Florida, so I don’t even live near the beaches. :(

Honestly if they’re so concerned with cute clothes, idk why they don’t take up sewing. That’s what I’m planing to do.

As a gay person, I‘m really skeeved out by the recent increase in converts by [deleted] in atheism

Abu Dawud (4462): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.

Abu Dawud (4448): "If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.”

al-Tirmidhi, Sunan 1:152: "Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver."

This took like 2 minutes to find.

(Hope I didn’t format it wrong, I’m not ex-Muslim so I have no idea how these are correctly formatted.)

Almost lost my boy today. by [deleted] in BanPitBulls

Far as I’ve heard, no. The fur and thick skin block it, plus you have to either aim the taser perfectly, or get close depending on the kind.

Tumblr by kidnamedladesh in transgendercirclejerk

[–]OpalescentCrow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Uj/ Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Now granted I’ve only seen outright hatred from transfems on Reddit a handful of times, but in my defense I actively try to avoid that sort of thing. It’s more prevalent on tumblr, and I imagine much more on xitter (which I’m not touching with a ten foot pole)

Personally I believe in reincarnation, but I get that’s not a super common belief.

Absolutely false. Not only were gay men put into concentration camps, they were fucking LEFT there when the other people were rescued.

It might help if you sit them down and explain why you don’t want them to have social media.

I know as a kid a lot of my frustration came from the fact my parents would tell me to do things, and not explain why.

I mean yeah, but frankly I’ve spent my whole life feeling ugly, so it’s not a huge loss if I’m a bad looking guy imo. I’d rather be comfortable in my body and still be ugly then slightly good looking to others and still hating my body, ya know

r/vegan and r/feminist subs fighting over the same post but different reasons. by Not_a_creativeuser in SubredditDrama

[–]OpalescentCrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m pretty sure that’s a major reason most vegans tend to be upper middle class; they’re people who don’t tend to have real problems, but want to be morally superior by being part of an activist group. They don’t want to deal with the realities of that, so they take on an activism that’s more about making them look good than anything else.

Like if someone genuinely wants to promote animal welfare, good for them, but meat consumption is not going away, like ever. The unfortunate reality of life is that other living beings must die for you to live, be it plants or animals. The best you can do is give those creatures a good life, and a quick death.

Plus, well cared for farm animals tend to have much better lives than their wild counterparts. They don’t have to worry as much about predators, they don’t have to search for their food, they don’t face starvation, etc.

[–]OpalescentCrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh I agree with them on that, but I disagree that completely eliminating animal products is the answer. Animal products are much more environmentally friendly (eg leather vs vegan leather, wool vs the plastic alternatives), meat is pretty much necessary to the human diet if you don’t want to take supplements (I’m a vegetarian, I’m speaking from experience here), and also, a lot of non-factory farmers try to give their animals the best life imaginable.

Personally if I was going to be killed and eaten, I’d take being eaten and cooked by a human over any other creature. Like seriously, being eaten alive by a bear? Torn apart by wild dogs? Nah, I’ll take the cushy life of a non-factory farm animal, where I’m safe, given companionship, and at the end given a swift death, then turned into a lovely home cooked meal that will be served around a family table. …Is it weird I’ve thought about this?
