thinking about the time some terf dipshit on twitter said "you weirdos will be saying TREES are a social construct next" and I got nerdsniped and waded in like "trees ARE a social construct. there is no fundamental binary characteristic that separates trees from other plants" and well, I'll spare you the details but the conversation ended with the dipshit yelling "PALM TREES HAVE WOOD" which is hilarious because "wood" actually does have a pretty unambiguous, binary definition and palms in fact do not qualify
For all the issues the wolf reintroduction has caused in Colorado (wolf reintroduction=good, the way Colorado has done it=horrid), the one that I have not seen literally anyone talk about is the fact that everyone with a single goat went out and got a livestock guardian dog, chucked them out in the fields without any training, and just called it good. So now we've got a bunch of half feral livestock guardian dogs running around everywhere, just making up their own territories and attacking anyone who wanders through. One attacked my sister's CAR while she was going almost 30mph a few months back. Imagine if that had been a kid on an ATV, not an adult woman in an enclosed vehicle? When we called the non-emergency number to let them know, the dispatcher literally groaned and said, "not again. Nobody is training these things!"
"Wolves are going to start attacking people!11!" No, bitch, your fucking Anatolian Shepherd is.
Instincts still require training and refinement. You do not want a large, independent-natured dog making up its own rules. You will not like many of those rules.
And some individuals won't have good instincts and will require extra training, or plain won't work out.
English shepherds are herding dogs. Australian cattle dogs are herding dogs. My ES/ACD mix dog had zero herding instinct but would have made a decent livestock guardian. He had no desire to chase the sheep. When I *made* him chase the sheep he apparently assumed it was hunting time and bit the sheep. A sharp recall and he was back beside me showing no interest again in the sheep.
many teachers are complaining about the whole 67 thing but for me as a latin teacher it is really a blessing in disguise. because now instead of only caring about the number six being sex in latin they at least want to learn seven as well so they can harass me by going "sex septem" at me
having pet stick bugs is fun because every so often i will hear the distinct sound of several stick bug falling and ill go to check on them and find them all in a pile on the ground of their enclosure and i have to figure out if theyve just decided that its floor time now or if they kept mistaking each other for actual sticks again and bundled together the ceiling until gravity got the best of them.
please show us bugfaggot op please
