Is it okay to ask this here, or should I take this to /adv/ or something?
Basically:
>neighbors are idiots with aggressive dogs
>no fences or anything, not tied up, etc
>their biggest dog has bit at least one kid in neighborhood, and bit neighbor's cat, who required surgery for this
>neighbors called animal control regarding attack on cat
>animal control doesn't give a shit, tells them to call them again...

Put them down and justify it.

Was leaving my apartment today when I walked past a pigeon stood in the middle of a pavement.
As I walked past it it tried scrabbling away and I noticed this really weird clacking noise coming from its movement. Looked down at it and it had these MASSIVE mud coloured balls on the end of its toes.
So anyway, I cornered the thing, took it back to my apartment, put it in the sink with some hot, shallow soapy water and let pigeon-friend soak his or her feet for about 30 minutes.
I wrapped him in a towel and got to work with some tweezers and nail scissors slowly and carefully removing them from his toes. These things were hard as rock so it took me about 90 minutes.
Turns out apparently its something that can happen to birds that spend a lot of time on the ground (pigeon looked like a fledgling). Poop and mud and dirt can begin building up on its feet and calcify.

This board never ceases to amaze me.
>Imma save this disease ridden pest!
You should've licked the poop balls off.

I don't think pigeons are pests. They're very intelligent and make great pets when domesticated, and they mate for life. Humans carry more disease than pigeons do.
Anyone who knows theirs shit about spider can tell what the fuck I got here?
Doing some quick search around the web, this might be from the Wolf Spider species?
I'll provide a few picks
This is the last one
It's around 4cm from toe to toe and around 1,5cm from the abdomen to head

Does your pet sleep with you?
No he's dirty.
Sometimes, four of my dogs sleep with me.
It is nice but i can't sleep well as they occupy half of my bed.

sometimes my cat does until he attacks my toes and then he goes flying.
I don't let dogs, kids, hamsters, fish or salamanders into my bed though. The wife I allow most of the time.
Indoor or outdoor cars?

It looks Siamese but it could be just a tabby.
While I was having dinner 2 guinea pigs babies were born a couple of hours ago... when I come back they had no hands, no legs and the eyes were eaten by hords of ants. Last time a male escaped and made out with a female it was the cats... the guinea pigs were still coming out being born and the feral street cats were already with their mouth wide open waiting for them to be born straight into their mouth. The other time were the neighbours children... educated as disobedient wild beasts grabbed the babies and threw them at the wall while playing.
I'm getting bitterness...

...keep them inside?
>>2104495
Better yet youse a troll i think. Don't have anymore animals as you seem inept at keeping them alive.
>>2104495
my wife is hysterical, doesn't want them inside the house... she loves to play with them but doesn't like when they pee or poop or cry or need food or cleaning.
He is a male Himalayan kitten. So far we have Goku and Dexter!

If it can eat meat, then so can your hippy liberal friends.
/Plant/ is for the discussion of the pioneers of life on land, plants. Horticulturists, hobbyists and botanists welcome!

It is always interesting to see weird ass bugs. Pretty ones are welcomed as well.
It's the owner not the dog.
The people that don't know this, will never know. Stubborn, close-minded people that watch the drama-infused news on TV daily or had some personal experience with a Collie everyone said was a pit bull.
Stupid people will always be around. Just consider us lucky that there are a lot of people who know the truth.

It's the tail not the jaw. Those suckers can clear off a coffee table when they get excited.

>Owners of dogs that are identified by the community as ‘pit bull type’ may experience a strong breed stigma,44 however controlled studies have not identified this breed group as disproportionately dangerous. The pit bull type is particularly ambiguous as a “breed” encompassing a range of pedigree breeds, informal types and appearances that cannot be reliably identified.
How do you deal with the death of your pet anon?
I feel depress now remembering my dog when it was still a puppy and it tried to lick my face.
>>2103114
grow up
>>2103116
y-you too.
>>2103114
If I owned a dog, I would cry twice as hard if it died. All the pets that I had were my parent's property though.
But I do understand your loss, it is like losing a relative you once had.. Even if it had the mental capacity of a 5 year old.

What would be required to achieve a marine/freshwater tank that can stably run water change-less? I'm curious, hypothetically.
>water changes are about removing nitrates
>de-nitrifying bacteria remove nitrates and convert it to Nitrogen
>use a deep sand bed or fuge with a massive anoxic environment to cultivate de-nitrifying bacteria and cycle it until it can remove nitrates
What else would be stumbling blocks and why isn't it this easy?
>>2106527
Look up "Walstad Method"
It's the closest thing you'll be able to find to low maintenance
Holy shit need help, /an/! What do I do at this point? Three days ago it was fine. Two days ago I had fish swimming kinda irregularly. Today I have my school of corcats swimming near the top of my tank. In a matter of three days I went from everything is fine to oh fucking shit. Water change did just about nothing as of 6 hours ago. API Ph Lower kinda helped?
Do I do a full water change or what?
>TL;DR Ph level too high
