>just discover the funny trivia that rabbits eat their own poop>I remember that in islam pork is considered impure for a similar reason>do a quick google research to discover if rabbit meat is halal or haram>it's fucking halal and it's consumption is actually endorsed in the quranGodamn islam is pure hypocrisy
>>4790810Tbh you don't need to be a Christian to find killing fetuses morally abhorrent.
>>4786875>we don't know how to preserve meat with salt even though the sun beats down on us and we live on a peninsulaYeah no wonder most of your population is inbred>>4786949Pigs are relatively clean animals. Pig rearing practices make them live in their own shit
>>4790772Because they're considered companion animals, and because they are far less efficient at turning grass into meat than cows are.Mostly because of the friend aspect. Horses are some of the smartest herbivores, and the use of horses requires cooperation between the rider/driver, which often leads to mutual respect and a bond.
>>4790821So your best argument is>it makes me feel ickyWhich is about as sound as>magic book said no>>4790772This is a good example too. Horse slaughter is illegal in the US because it makes horse girls feel icky. That's it. Those feelings aren't shared elsewhere, horse meat is readily available in most of Europe and even just across the US border in Mexico. But the feelings of horse people were put ahead of logic and horse slaughter is against the law. This is no more or less logical than not eating pige because magic book said not to.

>>4788140Pretty much. So many legends we’ve produced. Makes me proud.
I'm a bigger fan of the cenozoic than the mesozoic. Reason why is because it's a pretty diverse time to be alive all things considered. It may be called the age of mammals, but there are a lot of reptiles and birds that have a mainstay, and even more if you include the past of the cenozoic with things like elephant birds and palaeophis and such. Only ones that get a raw deal are amphibians and invertebrates, which is also why I like the paleozoic the most.

>>4789558I’m enjoying the opportunity to talk this much about moths>I've seen in some species of moths that they don't have mouths and live very short lifespans, like 2 weeksYes, silkmoths don’t have developed mouthparts so they can’t eat. As caterpillars of course they eat loads, but as moths their only purpose is to reproduce. >How come they don't have any- mouth appendages to consume food? Isn't it counter-intuitive?Not eating lets them put all their focus on mating. A surprising number of insects work like this, where they eat in the early stages of life, then once they become adults they don’t eat, just bone. Crane flies and sawflies do this. All the species of moths I raise are silkmoths so they have very short lives as adults
How is it that some non-social animals become very social when in contact with humans?

i got a box with 170 dubia, couple of them turned adult last weekim planning on separating 60 weakest adult males, preferably those who grew slowest, so they wont breedhow can i mark the 1st 20 males, so i know to keep them?
>>4790697a drop of nail polish or permanent marker on their head
>>4790717this may actually kill the bugs, since the volatile organic compounds from a lot of those products can fuck PEOPLE up with close enough expose, and the bugs are thousands of times less massive, thus substantially more sensitive to it. even the ethanol from sharpies might be enough to fuck the bug.You want a non-toxic paint or paint marker, posca is the major name brand but any water-based non-toxic paint will do.
My dubias appear to not be breeding. I have a ceramic heater maintaining at 90 F, I give them a mix of fish food, cricket feed, and various fruit and Veg scraps. What am I missing? Is it humidity? Should I give them substrate too?
There's flies plaguing my room, what should I do about this, /an/?

>>4790499>I hate how people are quick to take the moral high ground over something that nobody actually knows the answer to. We have no idea how biodeterminist or culturally determinist sapient species are because we only have one surviving species to go off of.This just isn't true. Even though we only have humans as subjects we still have the entire breadth of human cultures to examine and from this we can determine which behaviours are most likely innate (if they're found across all human cultures) and what are most likely learned (if they are isolated to certain cultures). e.g. empathy is universal and so is probably an innate part of being human, but smiling to communicate happiness isn't universal and so probably isn't innate.
>>4790612>empathy is universal and so is probablythere's no "probably" we know even the part of the brain responsible by it and what happen when it doesn't develop properly >smiling to communicate happiness isn't universal and so probably isn't innate.were did you got this ? because smiling as a sign of happiness is an involuntary response and is extremely unlikely that it isn't innate as all other facial cues/expressions also you missed the whole point, no matter where we humans are in the bio-cultural gradient because we are the only subject and therefore we can't extrapolate us 1:1 to what other sapient beings will be in that scale
Strangely, there hasn’t been one of these yet (that I know of). So let’s fix that and get a thread going for all things pertaining to Mustelids - some of the hardiest, most enduring mammals. This includes: Ferrets, Stoats, Wolverines, Badgers, Otters, Minks, Weasels, Martens, Grisons, Skunks, etc. Ownership and advice for owning is also naturally welcome.
It's sad these ones went extinct before we could see them. We have dog like cats in Africa, it would be cool to see cat like dogs there too.

Alright I’m gonna buy some ducks.>I have 6 females and want a male.Going to get 1 male automatically but should I get 2 males?>I want to get at least one more female.Going to get 3 ducks, should I get 2 males and a female or 2 females and a male?>If I get two males, should they be different breeds?Which breed(s)? My 6 females are Swedish blue. Also is that too many males:females ratio? Will two males be too much for the 7 females?>Should the ratio be 2:7 males:females or 1:8?Also, should I get a goose?>Please respond.
Respond. Now.I reiterate, this is a thread about ducks so you’re all legally obligated to respond.
Okay I’m getting a blue Swedish female, a khaki Campbell male, and a silver Appleyard male to add to my 6 blue Swedish females. Unless anyone else has any suggestions.
