dogs and chickens @mytwogermans - Tumblr Blog

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Reading your tag made me laugh out loud. It’s like two old friends unexpectedly stopped by your porch for a quick visit. XD

I’ll always reblog Martin and Bosco when they splash across my dash, because of Reasons.

What’s loved, lives.

Jesus christ this poor dog. They say he has to be in a home where he won't be walked and think it's the animal center that's being cruel. And the balls on them to downplay dog attacks. "It was just some little scratches!! We don't even know what they are actually!! We know he killed a dog but he isn't dangerous!!" They're so selfish. Putting their feelings for a dog above his well being and the safety of people and other animals. This dog can't live a good life if he can't even leave his yard. They're even trying to convince us that dog reactive dogs can go to homes with other dogs

It would be a kindness to put this dog down. This is a big dog and if he really did have a stroke its very likely it can happen again and for his condition to continue to get worse. Right now in the kennel i bet they have this dog constantly sedated to hell and back so he doesnt hurt himself or others. The kindest thing would be letting this dog move on before he kills another animal or worse, a person.

#reblogging the post for context to my frustration

Seeing talk of Austinites and their bafoonery in not wanting to euthanize dangerous dogs. Why is Austin like this, why are APA and ACC specifically “like this”. “Unless we can find a proper placement” WHAT proper placement? Killing other animals and a human bite record doesn’t lend itself to any sort of placement. The dog should be put down. Dangerous dogs in the shelter system should be euthanized.

But I do think there’s an important distinction that’s being missed with some of the comments on that post. When a dog is surrendered and enters the shelter system, that dog becomes the public’s problem and the shelter has an obligation to keep the public safe.

But on the flip, I see people saying shit like “not taking your dog for walks is abuse and the dog would be better off euthanized” because its being mentioned the dog would only be adoptable if it was confined to the owner’s home.

Nooooo, not quite. Plenty of dogs, yes even aggressive dogs, can live happy lives that are heavily managed. Yes, “walkies are such good enrichment uwu”, but there are plenty of ways to keep dogs happy without taking them into the public. The dog doesn’t care as long as it’s needs are being met. I’ve known plenty of people who had stupid-aggressive dogs who WOULD bite but who never did because the people who owned them knew better.

Plus, the key factor here, those dogs were wanted. They were owned and managed by people who wanted them thus making them a personal problem, not a public one. When you dump the dog at a shelter, you are acknowledging your own limitation in caring for the animal and what becomes of it unfortunately is just what becomes of it. There is NO reason to keep a dangerous, unwanted dog alive when there are so many perfectly safe, friendly dogs that also need help.

Why do these people who are raising a fuss over euthanasia WANT the dangerous, aggressive dog? Are they trainers trying to prove their chops???? No! 99% of the time they are ding-dongs who think they can snuggle the aggression away.

God its literally always the same shit, different day.

A chicken made this

For some reason a lot rabbit people dont know how to interact with other animal professionals in a normal manner especially online.

Im going to assume this is due to alot of big rabbit communities being full of ARAs and that sort of behavior bleeding into even the agricultural side of rabbit keeping

In my experience someone who breeds chickens is going to be way more approachable and friendly then anyone who breeds rabbits

homeofhousechickens

I kind of blame the House Rabbit society, those people are unhinged. Like you adopted a rabbit 5 years ago let us in your house unannounced kind of unhinged

mytwogermans

From my experience, its all small animal circles... ARAs are everywhere, but somehow they seem especially present and vitriolic in rabbits, cavy, etc circles.

A long time ago I used to buy whole feeder rabbits from a local person, and they also bred/sold cavies for feeders. I didn’t buy them at the time but was curious about it and wanted to research what the benefits might be over raising rabbits as feeder animals, and man oh man are the guinea pig people volatile.
