god

animal rights activists need to learn that cows moo for other reasons than “missing their babies”

you can’t just go on a farm, hear a cow bellowing, and assume it’s for her calf. that’s stupid.

[taxonomyy]

When I lived right next to some cows they got a new one and she spent about two days mooing because she was in a new place and then she was fine.

My friend lived on a farm where the cows would all line up against the one fence to moo at the house every morning. Why? They liked the rottweiler that lived there. The cows would moo like crazy, the dog would go trotting out, they’d all sniff at each other, then head out into the pasture for their day. They’d moo for their morning dog fix. 😂

whenever i would go visit my grandmothers house the cows would line up and moo because there was a weird car in the driveway. then when they saw it was just the grandkids they would stop and go back to their buisness

[jlntarie7]

wait cows moo in specific situations? i thought they just made sounds Because They Could

[scoutsmoocrew]

They have many different moos for many different situations tbh

My great-grandfather (on my mother’s side) owned a farm with lots of cows,  they were all oddly fascinated by this one chicken that was a little fluffier and chubbier than the others and had a funny sounding clucking noise. The cows would gather next to the fence and moo very loudly at it when it was nearby. She is still not sure why they had such an affinity for that one chicken, but it was apparently really funny and endearing.

I would also be very excited if I saw a fluffy fat chicken

Illustrator Imagines a World Where Gentle Giant Animals Live Among Humans

What if we lived in a world where giant cats and dogs roamed the earth?

I realized I never uploaded my inktober drawings from last year, so here they are!

As you can guess, my theme for 2018 was heavy metal kitties. This is week 1!

I have the originals of these up for sale RIGHT HERE ON ETSY

The original tweet is in response to a tweet about Ellen Maud who sought out medical help and was routinely told to just lose weight. She later died of cancer.

“Unlike Abhumans, canids are worthy of your respect, being fully aware of their inferiority to Mankind and expressing pure, unthinking loyalty when given commands and not presuming to crudely satirise the human form with their foul physiology.”

Also, significantly less predisposed to petty larceny than ratlings.

update: apparently canberra’s skywhale was harpooned and died 

[boethiah]

Local resident Michelle Bedford says what she saw can only be described as ‘incredibly unlikely’ and ‘bizarrely beautiful’.

“The guy got on the roof of his van with a crazy look in his eyes I’ve never seen before, as if in his universe there was only him and the Skywhale. He hurled the broomhandle like a harpoon, got it right through the eye.

“We all clapped and cheered, not like we hate the Skywhale or anything but it was just unbelievably cool.”

It then took several hours for security staff and onlookers to disentangle Ahab from the corpse of the Skywhale which had slowly but majestically fallen directly on top of him, like a heavenly blanket with massive breasts.

The sculpture, a hot air balloon depicting a whale as it may have evolved if it lived in the air rather than the sea, has had a mixed reception since it was first launched in 2013. Critics of the Skywhale cited its outlandish appearance, large breast-like appendages and ‘dumb, smug whale face’.

…

Artist Patricia Piccinini, who designed the sculpture, has asked that charges not be pressed against Mr Ahab, claiming that she was “invigorated” to see the public engaging with the artwork on such a meaningful level and that she couldn’t ask for a “more fitting way for a big balloon that looks like a whale to complete its lifecycle in the public eye.”

When asked if the ‘killing’ of the Skywhale had any allegorical significance or if the quest to find and destroy it was in some way symbolic of a larger tale Mr Ahab told reports “Nah mate, just f-ing hate that bloody whale.”

AOC's debut speech on the Congressional floor: "It is not normal to shut down the government when we don’t get what we want."

“The truth of this shutdown is that it is not actually about a wall, it is not about the border, and it is certainly not about the well-being of everyday Americans. The truth is, this shutdown is about the erosion of American democracy and the subversion of our most basic governmental norms. It is not normal to hold 800,000 workers’ paychecks hostage. It is not normal to shut down the government when we don’t get what we want. It is not normal for public servants to run away and hide from the public that they serve. And it is certainly not normal to starve the people we serve for a proposal that is wildly unpopular among the American people.” (via DC Tribune)
