    Imagine if humans did this with human babies.

    Sees baby unattended for literally 0.03 seconds “Your mother has abandoned you, but I shall raise you like my own!”

        You leave the stroller for a moment to grab your take-away order and come back to a crow repeatedly attempting to insert a still-living snail into the baby’s face. The snail is confused, but calm. The crow is frustrated. The baby won’t stop screaming, further frustrating the crow. Just eat the snail, idiot.

        Cats will do this with their fucking owners, they just assume we’re incompetent because we’re not catching any critters, so they have to catch them for us so we don’t starve.
        Plus i’m pretty sure this is part of why many cats insist on joining us in the bathroom, they gotta keep watch while we’re vulnerable taking a dump.

          I wonder if mine are broken. They will only play with what they catch, never serve me the catch. Though most of the time it’s only stick or some cabletie, occasionally iguana, all for their entertainment.

            unfortunately a lot of cats suffer from “stinky dummy” syndrome, it’s very sad 😔

              Is that device meant to alleviate SDS symptoms at all? I’d be interested to see any studies on it if there are any, if you could tell me what it’s called or point me to the research it would be much appreciated.

              We’re looking at all the options we can for our severely SDS afflicted SIC.

          One of mine doesn’t watch, she jumps into my lap and curls up.

          :|

          I think my cat is a perv.

      when I was a teenager, I was in the supermarket with my mom and my baby sister.

      My mom wanted to quickly grab something from the other side of the store, so I stayed at my sister in her stroller.

      I was standing next to the stroller, playing with my gameboy.

      When my mom came back, a woman berated her (and indirectly me) that it’s so irresponsible to leave my sister unsupervised, as I wasn’t paying attention.

      Mind you, I was literally 30cm next to my sister. Who was sitting in her stroller doing nothing but playing with a toy and looking around.

      That’s pretty much accurate as to how the state reinforces helicopter parenting nowadays. Institutionalized anxiety starting from the 80s with John Walsh’s kid’s murder.

      I hear that this happens sometimes, but nowhere near normal times, more like during evacuations from warzone and so on

    Stray kittens are like that. I knew some strays that had their kittens. I would come by with food and for play time. Their mom was quite happy and joined in. This made the kittens trust people too much and… well, some people took them home when they were too damn young to be adopted. Knowing how most people are who spontaneously adopt strays they probably got tired of them really quick and abandoned them far away. It pains me to think of that

    In fairness, the deer population is way out of control, so I’m just doing my part to reduce it.

      I hope we reintroduce and help repopulate predators.

      The main reason deer populations are out of control is we’ve killed pretty much everything that eats deer…

          Inside you there are two wolves. You fucking idiot, why did you let the wolves rip you and take your insides.

          They learn Calculus:

          “The (deer population) limit doesn’t exist!”

          Turns out, they don’t fully understand Calculus

      Best way to help cull the deer population is to get your hunting license and fill your quota! Plus all fees (at least in my state) from hunting/fishing related things fund conservation efforts!
