Humane breeding

What’s the humane thing to do with French bulldogs and other animals that can’t reproduce safely without human intervention.
Do we have a responsibility to keep them alive since we’ve created them, or would the truly humane thing to do is stop breeding them.

Does anyone else think it's retarded when people call pets "slaves"? 99% of pet cats and dogs for example aren't put to any intense labor that can be considered slavery, they eat, sleep, shit and get their required exercise before inevitably passing on, you could argue that they're prisoners if they're locked down to an area but that's about it.
Not talking about actual working animals btw, there's an actual argument there, I mean regular ass pets that do nothing.

How Do You Deal With Fleas?
fleas-1
My folks finally decided to give our third cat who largely lived in the basement away to a family who live by a farm so that she can be happy finally. I really miss her still but she apparently left behind fleas and a week later, we are still dealing with them. Just used flea floggers all over down in the basement. Will this be effective enough? Anyone know how to kill off the fleas completely? They seem to be largely in the basement.

Previous Thread >>4943797

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

Help me find a specific charity
faf9a4_8c237ef3a9a34b59bf49e9314759c9f6~mv2-2626852948
Please help me find a specific charity or at least one similar to it.

I read a post on the effective altruism subreddit that mentioned a specific charity but I can't find it. I want to donate to them https://www.reddit.com/r/EffectiveAltruism/comments/k7r29t/which_charity_or_org_can_save_the_most_animal/

I’m looking for the best place to donate some money, but my research isn’t turning up many good options. I’d like to choose a recipient that can save the highest number of lives for a given sum of money (say $1000). So far the 2 best options I have are rehoming rescued battery hens (~$20 each) or relocating bee hives (~$200 per hive of ~10,000 bees).

I see he deleted his account. He mentioned in the comments the name of the bee charity but not the chicken rehoming charity. Any ideas what that charity might be?

Alternatively is there just a charity which helps herbivorous birds or mammals where I can know my donation is personally making an impact similar to something like PLAN international adopt a child or against malaria foundation and the link they email you showing which nets your donations funded and where they're going in and what stage of production they're in? Is there an animal vegan charity like this which I know my donation will make an individual impact and me donating a couple hundred dollars or like a thousand dollars isn't like voting where individual voting in a presidential election makes no difference?

Another dog eats cat shit, computer wires, crayons, styrofoam cups, pillows, stuffed animal stuffing, pill boddles, nintendos, trading cards, card board boxes, laundry baskett, chopstix, lanyards, toys, funko pops, big books and folders, animal skeletons, pride flags hanging on the wall, pictures and pricture frames, ziplock bags with drugs into them, shopkins, grass, clothing and socks, plastic bags and almost killed istelf eating a huge wad of plastic bags plus a diaper. Feces smashed into the floor carpet and in the car. Pencils and Cereal boxes excessive sex and growling sex with cat/dog/attempted rape if youre short/pigs/goats ruined big stuff animals with sex piss chewing. Schizophrenic growling at the wall and ceiling. Are my dogs possessed or what is wrong with them. they were all strays/shelters. All clearly special ed dogs. We only have one dog thats normal.

/jg/ - Jefrey General #11 - High Def Jef Edition
IMG_0986
Previously on /jg/ >>4979241

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s almost all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

"Safe for pets" products
Screenshot_20250702_022650_Gallery
I'm still relatively new to pet ownership, only a few months. I have a bit of a pest issue and was at the store and saw several products being sold as "Safe for Pets". Thankfully I'm naturally skeptical so decided to do some research rather than take them at their word. Sure enough a quick Google search revealed stories of people's pets having fucking seizures, getting extremely sick, and even dying from these products. For example pic related has lemongrass oil which is just straight up unambiguously toxic to both dogs and cats. These are to my knowledge the most common pets. So what the fuck are they talking about when they say safe for pets? Pet rocks? I started looking and saw this sort of thing being sold all over the place in several different stores.

What the fuck? How are they getting away with such a label? It's outrageous to me thinking I could've been this close to inadvertently killing my pet and I'm sure it's happened a fucking ton. It's just such an evil thing to do, surely the extra profit from saying "Safe for pets" on something that blatantly isn't can't be that huge to justify the horrible negative press you'd expect from this, but they're still in business so I guess they just don't care.

Anyone wanna explain why this is a thing?

Technically they eat algae and then integrate them into specialized organs and farm them in these flesh panels for their photosynthates

They are called leaf

Imagine you are born in a place that's not your home. You want to eat. You want to survive. Maybe have children...but then there are these massive, near cosmic-sized creatures that don't just hate you; they your entire kind wiped out because something vaguely about you damaging their trees by living a normal life.

These colossal cosmic creatures are around by the millions, and every second, there's a chance they might see you and kill you on sight, without warning. It's not because you did something because maybe you will do something. They don't even eat you. They stomp on you and go about their day, talking about what type of food they'll have when they get home. No trial. No justice. No attempts at reason. You're just dead.

Ironically, you figured out the best means to fight such a cold, purposeless existence in a meaningless universe:You do nothing. You just sit there, or walk around aimlessly. You don't run if these cosmic entities see you. Why would you? A single one has roughly the same strength as 100,000 of your species. So instead, you just accept death. You might talk to your friends, you might travel to see and understand the world a little more, even if it raises more questions. You know you'll be murdered in cold blood at some point. You've seen so many mashed up carcasses of your own species just laying there as a constant reminder of the fate that awaits you. Yet still, somehow, you still hope. You hope in the face of every. Not in life, but hope that somewhere out there, beyond the furthest planet and the furthest star...lies a reason for why this all happened. Or a little fraction would be fine. Just a nanosecond of significance and meaning in such a tireless and terrifying universe.


This is the life of a lanternfly. This will be you when aliens come.

LTT-1445 Ad Duckfish.
Duckfish's Ancestors
Idea I had for LTT-1445 Ad as a seedworld. The Duckfish is a Modern Cetacean in it's own parvorder Mixoceti which evolved when a Simocetus hybridised with an Aetiocetus 32 million years ago. Eventually became a toothless bottom sifter of Krill and Squid with a toothless Duck-like beak/rostrum, baleen and a rounded melon to echolocate along the bottom of LTT-1445 Ad's shallow seas. Roughly the size of a large Dolphin and with pileated throat and a throat sac convergent with Balaenopterids as well as two phonic lips in one blowhole convergent with Delphinids. Makes shrill high-frequency calls through pushing air from the throat sac through the Phonic Lips out of the blowhole.

Found a sick bunny on the side of the road when out jogging this morning. What would you do in this situation? It was just sitting there, at first i thought it was dead, but it was still breathing. I couldn't see any injuries so i assume it is sick. I didn't want to touch it of course, but i feel bad just leaving it there. I don't own a gun to put an end to its misery. Right now i feel like the only option is shrugging it off as part of nature.

I don't think i have the guts to find a large rock, drag it over there, and kill the bunny with it. And i literally can't think of anything else to do with it.
