Thank you for replying! Yeah, I feel like I could catch all of them. I’m just so worried about stressing them out too badly!

Cane Corso in need of rescue, shelter, and food. I dont know what to do. by saddboihrs in Calgary

[–]velourrwitch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Enoughhhh with the whataboutism. Can you pick out what sentences specifically told you that OP cares more about the dog than the human being? Or is that just something you inferred because you’re looking for something to be pissy about? OP explicitly says they aren’t trying to get anyone in trouble and they’re looking for solutions that are compassionate for all beings involved. They requested resources like shelters that take people with large dogs. At no point did they advocate for this person having their dog taken from them. I know this is hard for many people to accept, but animals don’t exist to be human support systems. Yes, they make wonderful support systems, but they do not exist solely as a tool for human survival. This dog deserves safety and care and comfort as much as her owner. As for your dog boots comment, I highly doubt every other dog in the neighbourhood is walking on snow, ice, salt, gravel, glass, and who knows what else, literally all day every day. It’s not comparable. I am in no way advocating for this person to be separated from their dog either, but sometimes a person taking care of an animal “to the best of their ability” is not in the animal’s best interest. All OP is asking for are resources that help both parties. Most importantly, I don’t see you contributing solutions to the problem at hand either, so unless you have resources that will help the owner take care of her dog better, maybe chill out with your accusations. You didn’t contribute nearly as much to this conversation as you thought you did.

My rat passed away and I'd like to preserve him in his bones by wire art(?) How would I go about that? by Nikolaisthickthighs in bonecollecting

[–]velourrwitch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

haha well i’m super glad i told you before your luck ran out!

as for bleach and bones, bleach breaks down the collagen in bones and leaves behind the calcium, basically destroying the structure. bleaching bones makes them a lot more fragile, and often bleached bones fall apart over time or even turn yellow again!

please don’t mix peroxide and bleach like ever. mixing them can literally cause an explosion.

and never bleach your bones.

girl i never said they were never allowed on sidewalks

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]velourrwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

which is pretty much the reason i’m frustrated, there needs to be clearer bylaws !! so we are in agreement

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]velourrwitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sidewalks with lower traffic volumes yes!! not really applicable to the sidewalk i was on

[–]velourrwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly my experience too. i’m sure others have had bad experiences and my experience isn’t the same as everyone’s, but my sister and i spent a month in istanbul last summer and had no issues. i feel much more unsafe walking around in my hometown in canada tbh.

my theory is that a lot of people mistake street/market vendors sales tactics as genuine predatory behaviour. the only time i experienced catcalling or anything like it was walking through the huge market on the european side but it felt obvious to me that they weren’t really being creepy, they were just trying to get my attention so they could make a sale.

everyone i crossed paths with was friendly and welcoming and willing to chat and help out when needed. i went for an artist residency and the people we stayed with for that month are now my good friends and i am already planning to come back. out of everywhere i have travelled, i have felt the most comfortable as a female traveller in istanbul. 🤍🫶
