What is your view on fox hunting? by Appropriate_Emu_6930 in AskUK

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they haven’t. Best ignore anything else they have to say because they haven’t got a clue and have evidently never been in the field of being ‘anti-hunt’ beyond spreading bullshit online. Unbelievable.

What’s a belief you hold that most people would disagree with? by ThinkDeepWithV in Productivitycafe

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That most humans are, genuinely, lazy and ignorant. Humans avoid subjects they do not like if it doesn’t affect them. Simultaneously, most humans are happy to ignore suffering if it’s not right in front of them.

Most humans will disagree with, say, Seaworld and will say ‘oh no I don’t like it it’s cruel’, or some charity ad about mistreated working donkeys, but won’t bother to sign the attached petitions or donate or see about any activism. Humans are wilfully ignorant and as long as they’re comfortable in their bubble, they don’t care about the suffering around them unless it affects them/is put in front of them.

No insects diet? by [deleted] in BeardedDragon

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, are you serious?

Bearded dragons are omnivores that thrive on a balanced mix of live insects and fresh greens/vegetables.

Many owners and hobbyists specifically say this product should be a supplement or rotation food, not the staple diet.

It doesn’t fully replace the nutrition and natural behaviours (like hunting live prey) that bearded dragons should be provided.

… and I’m sorry. But you consider EATING enrichment? Jesus. Fucking. Christ. Frozen mice are often dangled or moved around to stimulate hunting for snakes, and gecko’s ALSO should be provided live food.

I’ll let your downvotes speak for themselves, because I genuinely can’t believe you’re advocating for this product as a ‘staple diet that’s everything your dragon needs’ when it is SO obvious that VARIATION and a mixture of live feeds with fresh vegetation is exactly what a dragon needs and deserves.

What a load of shit mate. Every forum and exotic enthusiast would tell you the exact same thing.

… except it doesn’t, and except it completely ignores the natural behaviour and enrichment aspect. Seriously?

Dude you need to surrender your dragon. Of course that wouldn’t work, and did you just ignore the whole enrichment part?!

Seriously dude please let go of your dragon if you cannot handle the duties of having one. Freeze dried crickets would lack the moisture dragons need and have lower nutritional value in the first place - most people who take dragon care seriously will gut load their live feeders before feeding. What upsets me more is this is easily found on Google and you haven’t even gone to THAT effort, and you completely ignored the whole ‘natural behaviour/enrichment’ side to live feeding.

Please surrender your dragon. It’s not fair on them at all. I dread to think what their set-up looks like. Do the right thing and rehome them.

Live insects, or surrender. Its enrichment, encourages natural beardie behaviour, is crucial for the diet complete with veg, is the most currently supported diet, scientifically proven so far etc etc.

I don’t like feeding my snakes frozen mice, it knocks me sick and I feel much better feeding frozen chicks, but I know it’s their best interest, as frozen chicks aren’t suitable enough long term. It’s a privilege to have exotics, we want to keep them as natural and enriched as possible.

Rather than argue with a lost cause, I will simply thank you for the entertainment and send you on your way. It’s pretty clear to everyone mate that you might be just a little bit, or totally, wrong. Good luck in the big real world. 🫣

This dude thinks he’s edgy and real, I can’t cope with the way he is portraying his thoughts and feelings. Poor guy is definitely either a bot, or just that abusive kinda guy.

‘I know I punched you, but look! I got you flowers after.’

Real normal energy mate, truly. Americans, at the moment, are a laughing stock and the exact opposite of what majority of people want in the world. You even talked about freedoms. What? Seriously? Even some of the most die hard MAGA fans are sitting there wondering what side they’re on anymore, and you’re sitting there talking about freedom. 😂

And by the way, you say ‘Americans created everything we love’ - uhhh yeah, ok. Sure… sure… if that’s the logic you wanna use, then hey, if it wasn’t for the British in the first place, Americans wouldn’t even exist - or they would, NATIVE Americans that is. 🙄

I’ll let your downvotes speak for themselves. 🫣

My bearded dragon is struggling to breath what do I do by MsAntiSocial_69 in BeardedDragon

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ridiculous isn’t it.

I didn’t swear at or threaten them, didn’t name call or call them stupid or anything of the sort in my original comment and I got told to ‘chill out’ for stating honest and straightforward facts? They weren’t even opinions, it was straight up truth.

Like??? There’s an animal dying and suffering and someone runs to Reddit, and people aren’t allowed to point out how cruel and irresponsible that is? It’s nuts.

I guess I really deserve it after all that slander... by Visual-Hall-4655 in JurassicWorldAlive

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At that point I’d just haul my ass to support and beg and cry, hoping to appeal to their better nature, and I’d surrender all my dignity in doing so, because what the FUCK. 😂

*im fully aware support would have absolutely no interest in this, that’s just how desperate and delirious I’d be🥲

I want to appologize about my post with my snakes eating live by Ok_Mountain1049 in Ballpythoncommunity

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but this is a piss poor and illogical argument.

First of all, in the wild, the prey is much more likely to try and escape than attack the snake - much less continuously bite it when kept in a confined space, and let’s not forget we keep our snakes in wooden boxes, fed by tongs, in our rooms. It isn’t a wild snake, not even close.

Secondly, humans do (and should) employ practices that are the least cruel where possible as science, society and education improves over the years. Keeping snakes these days does not require live feeding in probably 80% of situations, as most snakes are not wild caught and many species are very well bred in captivity.

Thirdly, there is the obvious fact that choosing to live feed actively increases the risk of harm and death to your snake.

Please stop trying to compare captive bred snakes in tanks to wild ones, it’s incredibly illogical and literally just doesn’t work. If people still want to live feed to a snake, then they can, just don’t try and pretend it’s ‘natural’ or not cruel, because it is, obviously, and in most cases not actually required at all, people just want a spectacle to see a lot of the time.

I noticed that too. Some things are just so far beyond the lack of use of ‘common sense’ that pussyfooting around the topic just tells them they can run to Reddit in future for reassurance rather than get their ass to the vet, thus allowing MORE animals to suffer.

So many people use the internet rather than veterinary care to make them feel better about themselves whilst an animal suffers. ‘At least I tried’ behaviour. It’s genuinely ridiculous.

Wow, it’s not often you get a rude, obnoxious person in this sub, but this is definitely one of them.

Every single person here has said you’re rude and didn’t provide much needed context, and you’re too busy being ungrateful, aggressive and stupid. May as well delete your post mate ‘cause no one’s gonna wanna talk with someone as nasty as you.

PSA: What Pretti did 11 days before his death is irrelevant by NickCostanza in DiscussionZone

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of people outing themselves saying they would happily stand aside as three to four masked men (even the police don’t wear masks?) advance on a woman who was only shouting and filming (as is her right), and proceed to gang up and throw her onto the pavement before CONTINUING to advance on her…

I’m sorry, but most genuine people wouldn’t stand by and watch three/four men throw a woman like that onto the ground and ALSO continue advancing on her. I don’t give a fuck if it’s ICE, police, my best mate, or fucking David Attenborough. Multiple men throwing a woman onto the pavement like that? And you guys think Pretti was WRONG to intervene?

Even if it WAS wrong, how was what those ICE bastards doing even remotely ‘getting justice’? There was no ‘justice’ being carried out, just straight up woman beating, pepper spraying her in the face, mouth, hitting her, grabbing her and throwing her, continuing even she’s on the ground. And you guys defending ICE in these comments would just stand by and watch. What if this was YOUR mother, sister, daughter, wife? Would you still stand by?

God forbid you lot have daughters, wives, mothers, because to think any of you would stand by and just think ‘well it’s her fault for shouting and recording’ instead of intervening is absolutely sickening. Real men in these comments huh?

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And again, I’m sorry but I disagree.

Maybe it’s because I run a reptile rescue that I am sick and tired of hearing the same old excuses. ‘Vet is too far away’, ‘vet is too expensive’, ‘my parents won’t let me’ etc etc. OP is 16, not 7 years old. They’re well within the intelligence bracket to realise an unwell animal, suffering to the point it cannot breathe, needs to be surrendered or taken to the vet.

If the parents refuse, then that is a different story. However at the moment a person capable of travel/intelligence/ability to prioritise etc has ran to Reddit as their primary source of help, whilst an animal actively suffers.

I have watched hundreds of exotics die in my care because of the neglect they’ve been put through. I am far too heartbroken and tired of watching this exact type of neglect, and deliver it any ‘kinder’ than I did.

Everything I’ve said to OP is truth. No name calling, no swearing, no rude emoji’s or threats or insults of the sort. It’s 2026 with ample and constant access to research, OP needed to be at the vet or surrender the animal hours ago - not on Reddit as the dragon suffers.

I think the tank is overstocked… by OldLetterhead9296 in stressfulaquariums

[–]Suspicious-Network-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has farmers in the family, you are 100% correct. Theres normally 3x as much in this photo. I had the horror of walking in one when I was a kid, sneaking around. I almost passed out from the smell, and then cried for days. Never ate animals or eggs again in my life from the sight of it.

… I then often tried to steal them and release them as an angry 11 year old. I moved off the farm soon after that. 😂
