What have been your biggest pet keeping sins, my brothers and sisters? Let loose your misdeeds of the past here, free of judgement.
To get the ball rolling, I will start. When I was in early middle school, my mom gave me some money to get crickets for my leopard gecko (which I admittedly didn't take good care of, either) and I came out with a $10 Pacu. I fucking kept that poor bastard in a plastic tote halfway filled with water, no filter, nothing, just plain bathwater. It lived in there until I got it a 10 gallon octagon tank with a filter from a yard sale. It lived in there with a plecostimus that I bought for like a year, until the power went out and the lack of filtration killed it, I assume. I fed it floating pellets and goddamn tadpoles.
Knowing now what it takes to care for any fish, I fucking hate myself for doing that to those poor animals. I would probably slap somebody if I heard they did that today.

>I would probably slap somebody if I heard they did that today.
Just delicately inform them that the animals require more. Offer to help if you have to. No need to be snotty or rude off the bat, they aren't being neglectful on purpose.
during my elementary-freshman high years I kept 4 turtles 2 catfish and a crawfish all wild caught in my 40 gallon
Besides the overcrowding the filter sucked so i was doing 100% water changes every week or two. They didnt have a uvb bulb or a basking bulb but I brought them outside to bask for 2 hours everyday. The biggest sin is probably what I fed them. Popcorn,lettuce,cheerios,bologna.hotdogs among some of the worse things, they did get minnows and tadpoles I'd go out and catch from the same canal I caught them all in though. I had them for 8 years and nothing died on me, only reason I lost them is because my mom found porn on my laptop when I was 16 and sent me to my hyper christians brothers house for 3 months as punishment. She didnt want to clean the tank and it got really dirty fairly quick so she sold the entire set up for$20(water heater, pump driftwood decorations 40gall tank) that she bought some dope with.
I dont remember what I exactly did when I came home but I went apeshit on the furniture with some shitty pawnshop sword and probably wouldve have tried to kill her if she was there.
A caught a tadpole in the wild and put him in a fishbowl as a kid. 3 years, and he never grew into a frog. I couldn't find on the internet what I was doing wrong.
>>2142609
You should be more ashamed of being white trash than anything about your pets.
>>2142617
I can't help what I was born into but I got out of that as soon as I turned 18 anon. I dont speak to any of my family because they are niggers.
>>2142595
Of course I wouldn't slap them for real. However my initial reaction would feel to me like a reaction that might cause one to slap somebody would. I would talk to them and hope they'd listen, my friend
To be fair, a lot of children are shitty pet owners.
I kept a lot of fish in my day, one of the first being a bunch of small fish caught in a stream and kept in the bottle I caught them in when I was like 10. Fed them nothing but bread, didn't change the water, and nothing else because it was a fucking plastic bottle. They all died within 2 days.
From then, had a real 20 gallon tank with a filter, heater and the works. Kept a large variety of fish throughout the years but didn't really maintain it well such as water changes and such, the filter and tank was cleaned every month or so though but did clean out all the filter media so killing off the beneficial bacteria. As a result, a lot of fish came and went over the years, the longest being a lone Skirt Tetra that lived for 6 years on it's own.
Eventually got a a turtle during that time, slapped the turtle in the tank when the fish finally croaked by itself (the turtle was kept in a small plastic tank that is marketed for a betta)
To this day I still have that turtle and wised the fuck up by then. It's 11 years old and lives in a 90 gal now (it's an 8" turtle) with all the works, including regular water changes and shit. The dumbass in me wants to keep a fish population with the turtle though, knowing she'll eat them anyway
I poured a can of sprite into my step dad's fish tank, killing all of them.
My friend and I used toads from his half empty pool for pitching practice against the concrete walls. We used his dads cattle prod to reanimate them even as we cut into them with a butter knife. I shot a bird with a pellet gun, but didn't kill him. I only had bb's and everytime I tried to shoot him on the ground the bb's would roll out of the barrel. The bird kept chirping like mad so I finally picked him up and walked over to a bonfire near camp and tossed him in. A different friend and I bought goldfish at the mall while we were high and put them in an unused aquarium filled with water and drano. The fish did the backstroke while blood came out of his gills.
>>2142573
I snuck into some kid's room one day and fucked his fish to death while he was at school. It may have been a Pacu.
>>2142573
I hung a 2000 flushes blue tablet over the aerator of my Science teachers aquarium.
He was a real fucking dick, but his fish didn't deserve that.
>>2142717
Holy fuck, dude.
>>2142711
.... why?
When I was a kid my dad got us a dog. We didn't take care of it and just left it chained neglected in the backyard until we stopped caring to chain it. He eventually ran away. That dog deserved better and I wish I had done right by him.
I scared the shit out of a ferret by putting a huge toy snake in his cage.
I bought a purebreed dog once.
>>2143030
Of all the posts in this thread, this one in particular is the worst.
>>2143034
I can top it.
I bought a purebred dog twice.
>>2143036
why would you buy the same dog twice?
>>2143042
because that anon is that despicable
>>2142573
Threw dirt chunks at baby birds once. I was like 4.
Threw salt in my first cats face, wasn't as funny when I found out cats can't laugh. I fucking loved that cat. I was 5. Had him until I was 13.
Had two lizards, moved into new house, left them in glass habitat in my heated room mid summer with no food or water. I was 9.
Threw a large pebble at a small dog that lived behind me once. I fucking hated that dog. I was 13.
Tried killing a baby bird that fell out of its nest. They are fucking tough though.
Threw my then gf's kitten off the bed for biting my lip while I was eating. Wouldn't have been so bad if her floor wasn't dirty...
Latest was me throwing my shorts in this cats face that had piss-ruined one of my favorite pair of shorts only to find out the responsibility of cleaning his litter box unexpectedly became mine so I had to make up for being the piss-head. He would sit with me on the porch for hours on end and walk to the store up the street with me when feeding him became my responsibility at times.
Good ole' Tater
When I was little I threatened my dog with a belt and chased her until she peed. Only once, I immediately knew what I did was wrong.
I bought a cat from a pet store. She was a manx. It turned out her anus would prolapse because her spine was so short. My boyfriend and I had the option of either putting her down or paying for a surgery neither of us could afford that would leave her in pain for the rest of her life. They would have put a ring in her, creating an artificial anus. We had her euthanized because we were poor and worried she'd be in pain. I wish I could have asked the cat whether she would want to live in pain or want to die. What if she wouldn't actually have lived in pain? What if she would have been comfortable? I wish I could have gotten her the surgery and then asked her how she felt, if surgery was what she had wanted. I wasn't in the room with her when she died. She was such a good cat. She was very muscular and would sleep on the top of my head like a hat. I only knew her for a few weeks. I don't even have any pictures of her. I'm so sorry Dina.
This isn't something I did to my own pet, but something that haunts me none-the-less.
To give context, I was deeply depressed, with no real support network besides sparse visits every fortnight from my mother.
My one joy were the family pets: 3 ducks, 2 chickens and 4 rabbits.
Most of my daily energy was spent tending to the pets and doing household chores, the rest was generally crying and self-hating.
Now for greentext:
>live in the mountains
>suddenly one day, fucking hail the size of cricketballs
>some are BIGGER than cricket balls
>the neighbourhood had windows smashed, countless cars dented, etc
>most pets are thankfully unharmed, only one chicken didn't make it back at night.
>fear the worst, but wait until morning to search for her
>in the morning, I think the missing chicken's stiff body
>there's a dead sulphur crested cockatoo as well
>fuck me, my dad loves cockatoos
>dig a grave for the chook and bury her, then dig one for the cockatoo
>I pick up the cockatoo in my arms
>it starts squirming and flapping
The cockatoo's eye was swollen, red and it looked like it copped a hailstone right in the face. All it could do was flap and squirm.
>can't deal with the stress of calling someone up to help the bird
>leave it outside for the whole day and the following night, beside its open grave
>come out in the morning, the bird is not only still alive
>it's standing up
>and there's a flock of cockatoos swooping and calling to it
>nope.jpg
This went on for two, maybe three days. I just couldn't deal with the responsibility of helping the bird; I could barely take care of myself, as it was.
In the end, my terror of my dad, and what he might do if he found out I had left the bird out there, made me bury it alive.
I can still see it squirming as I piled the dirt on it. It's easily the single act I'm most ashamed of in my life.
We got a Doberman puppy when I was a kid and we fucked up raising it and eventually had to get it put down because it was so aggresive to strangers. I still feel bad about that and with my own dogs I have employed proffesional behavourist to ensure I can give my dogs a stable calm enviroment to thrive in.
>>2142717
You're fucked up, bro.
>>2143116
Look, I can understand why you'd opt to kill it rather than help it considering the circumstances, but why the hell wouldn't you put the poor thing out of its misery first? Bird necks break like fucking twigs, or hell, just smash its head in with a rock.
>>2143160
I did consider using the shovel to kill it, but I didn't have the willpower to do so. My mind was too muddled with grief and panic to consider any other way of ending its life.
Burying it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and afterwards I ran, hid and cried. I feel like the event would haunt me more if I had killed it first, as well.
About a decade ago, my druggie older sister and her boyfriend got a young male cat when they were living together. When their relationship went sour, my sister brought the cat back to live with my folks and I in our basement. My family already had two older cats that hated other animals, so he was confined to my sister's room on the bottom level.
Sister would go out for days or weeks at a time to get drunk or high on meth. I'd go down to refill his food sometimes - he'd follow me around crying in excitement - but a lot of the time he was just alone down there. The basement was furnished but only had one window, one of the types at the bottom of a climb-in pit that hardly allows any light in. I guess I didn't like being down there, didn't like being around my sister or anything associated with her, though I did like the cat. Those were bad years for me in terms of depression and I don't even remember how long this went on.
One day my sister took him up to a cabin with her and when she came back, he had lost a lot of weight. I took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with cardiovascular myopathy at only 4-5 years old; the vet gave him two years to live, tops. My mom and I got him on all the medications available but two weeks later, I went down to give him his morning pills and he was unconscious, gasping out his last breaths. I hope he was asleep when it hit.
His last two weeks were nice. My sister was in rehab by then, but my mom and I gave him a lot of attention and nice food trying to get him to eat. One time we took him out in the backyard when my dad was grilling and he got to roll on the cement in the sunshine. I hope it made up in some small way for all the time I just stood by while he was being neglected.
I don't know what was wrong with me. It kills me to think he died down there in the dark, alone.
>>2143171
Forgot to say, pic isn't him but looks like him. I only have one photo of him and it isn't very good.
I used to have a hamster until my little sister swept his cage off the table several times during her tantrums. It died of a heart attack short after the 3d or 4th and ended up in the biobin.
RIP in peace Harry
>>2143171
that was an extremely sad story, holy crap
And I don't even like cats
I was living in a grubby, no rules type of share-house with a couple of friends and we all ended up moving out around the same time. Because the place was a mess and we wanted our bond back there was literally an entire week spent mopping, scrubbing, cleaning and gardening to recoup our measly $400. Whatever, we were broke.
As it was a proper house in a nice suburb we had a fairly sizeable backyard that had received exactly zero hours of attention since I had initially moved in 2.5 years ago. It belonged more to the animals than us and had its own fully developed ecosystem that grew around the side path, over our "lawn furniture" (discarded couches and milk crates we had hauled in off the street). It was going to be a hell of a job.
I was on "rake out all the excess green waste" duty which basically meant try to get the ground under the trees back to the same heigh as the rest of the yard. I started in the far back corner and happened across a giant bush-turkey mound.
My and my house-mates had a few beers each morning before we started our cleaning blitz because we were on holidays and everything is more bearable when you're drunk, so I can kinda blame my actions on that. But it was still stupid.
I started laying into the turkey mound with my metal rake as it was the largest amount of waste to go and I was determined to do a damn good job of clearing the shit away. About 2 minutes into overhead swinging and raking out I hear a large pop.
>(cont)
>>2142707
Why not guppies? You can give a lot of hiding spots for guppies, and since they breed like rabbits, a few every now and then can become a little extra protein snack for your turtle.
>>2143228
>2
I bent down to investigate and noticed a little trickle of liquid, so I cleared the surrounding dirt away, and of course, totally unsurprisingly, found a busted egg. I felt kinda bad, but not really because hey, I break eggs all the time and support abortion before the 2nd trimester. No biggy.
I continue to swing, wiggle, pull. disperse, dirt off of the giant mound and it isn't too long before I hear another pop. I ignore it because I know what it is. Work work work. Third pop. Heh heh, kinda funny sound. Except wait, there's blood in this one. This is a bit too real but I push it to the back of my head and continue my work. It's only a dumb scrub-turkey after all
Third pop. The blood is impossible to ignore now, the embryonic fluid doesn't trickle like liquid, it slides down the pile in a dark browny/reddy plop, decidedly more solid. I now feel awful but figure I'm too far in to stop so I grit my teeth and resume raking, double time.
Fourth pop. I scrape dirt over where the pop came from before I get the chance to see what oozes out. Fifth pop, about halfway through the pile now, same as before I quickly try to rake it away but there's a fucking shape there. I reflexively flick it behind me and see a little dark bird shaped thing flopping around on the ground.
I bashed it repeatedly with the rake until it stopped flopping and went back upstairs to tell my friends. The mother turkey came back later and was scratching around where I left her foetus corpse. I felt so bad. I hope there were more eggs. Worst part is she ended up piling all the shit back on top of the mound so my work was futile anyway. Still makes me sick to think about. I'm sorry for the rant....
When I was young I had 2 guinea pigs that I would take down the slide with me. Then I would wonder afterwards why their feet were all red. From there, as one guinea pig would die I would replace it with another so the survivor could have a friend until I got to the last one when I was about 17-18 and I let her die of bloat because I was depressed.
While I was depressed I had an elderly dog I was trying to take care of but ultimately neglected because >depressed. He died a week after the guinea pig did.
I took a cocoon in once because I was young and dumb and didn't think it would last through winter. I kept it secured in a tiny box until one day, it hatched. But the box was too small so it permanently fucked his wings up. So I had to take care of mothzilla until he died. But I think I got tired of caring for him or my mother ordered me to put him outside. My memory is blurry on that.
When I was really young I was trying to get a dumb little girl in trouble and saw her trying to get into a chipmunk cage. She was too dumb to lift the brick on top so I said 'be careful with that cage, if you take the brick off, the chipmunk will get loose!' and walked away. As expected, she did what I told her not to do. However, I didn't think she would drop the brick on it once the chipmunk did begin to escape. Never trust idiots to follow a plan.
That's all I can think of right now
Someone should screencap all the stories about depressed people killing and neglecting their animals so we can post it every 2 weeks when we get the inevitable "I'm depressed, what animal should I get to cure me?" threads
>>2143407
Blame Jung, his was of psychology brought that line of thinking on. They will occassionally have depressed people get house planta to see if they can keep it alive for an extended period of time, in order to gauge their progress.
>>2143116
Geez anon that's horrible.
>>2143407
This, there's way too many people saying they're depressed and neglecting their animals for my liking.
>>2142717
are you a serial killer by any chance?
>>2143229
honestly I've been looking into that and seems like a fair option. Just gotta invest in some hides that don't interfere with the swimming room and try to acknowledge them as a collective than get attached to every individual
Is anyone lurking?
>>2143116
You won the thread, anon.
I've been on this site for too fucking long but this is probably one of the most disturbing things I've read here.
I didn't cry when my dog died.
I cried four years earlier as I contemplated his inevitable death in front of him. He realised something was wrong with me and tried to comfort me, but there was nothing physically there so all he could do was whimper and snuggle up to me. The way dogs can read human emotions is amazing.
He wagged his tail when the vet came in to give him the injection.
Some of you are fucked up
I caught a baby bullhead and put it in a 5 gallon with neon pink gravel and an airstone. Had a cave and fed it bloodworms and feeder fish
After a while he was getting big and I decided it was cruel so I wanted to put him back. When I netted him his fin got stuck in the net and it got damaged. He was in a plastic bag filled with water for the whole 3 hour ride to the lake, when I got there he had red patches on him from ammonia poisoning/lack of oxygen or something. Hope he's alive still
>>2143116
You really should have killed yourself :^)
There's still time
>about 14-15 years old
>Mom is paranoid, never lets me walk in the neighborhood alone
>Sneak out of the house to take cooped-up dog on walk
>At some point he gets loose and sprints off
>To slow to catch him but his leash is trailing behind him
>Brilliant idea, I'll step on his leash to stop him
>While he's running at full speed
>Could have broken dog's neck, probably badly injured his windpipe
>He stands there, stiff, trying to breathe and just making some choking, snorting, wheezing sounds
>Kneel in the middle of the street crying how sorry I am, what did I just do, etc
He lived a few more years. My childhood dog was not treated well. My family is the type who treats dogs more as accessories. I work hard to treat my dog well and give him the best care I can to atone for the shitty care of my childhood pet, but I know I'm going to answer for this incident someday.
About 10 years ago my cat kept climbing on the garage so he could walk to my bedroom window. He always did this at around 3 am while I was sleeping. It was cute at first, but I already had sleeping problems and it was making me really tired after a while. One day he did it again, and I threw some water on him out of anger/tiredness so he would not do it again, but instead he just walked away for good.
About a half year ago another cat fell through the ice in my backyard and died, and I'm pretty sure it never would've happened if I wasn't playing games with my friends with my headset on. The last thing he did was probably scratching on my door without a response.
And today another cat has disappeared. He was super lazy and never really wondered, but he's been gone for like 16 hours now. He was only like 5 months old as well.
I really hope nothing's happened to him...
When I was around 12 years old I saw a robin's nest in a tree and wanted to look at it. I used a stick to push it out of the tree. 2 birds fell out. I tried feeding them but they died a few days later.
And a few years ago I was digging a border for my garden and didn't notice a patch of dry grass. I dug down and heard loud squealing. I dug into a rabbit nest. One rabbit was severely cut up. It died in 10 minutes. I painted a rock and placed it over its grave. The sound of it crying out still haunts me...
>>2144054
Sounds like you need to stop letting your cats out
I've had sex with multiple horses under my care. I don't feel bad about it either. I figure even if they don't like it, it causes them less overall discomfort than being ridden for an hour. I don't have any reason to believe I'm harming them and will probably do this until the day I die with a clear conscience.
>>2144147
Enjoying horse pussy huh?
When I was about 7 or 8, I was retarded and thought that you had to pick a side in the "cats vs dogs" debate. My favorite cartoon character was a dog, and he hated cats. So, because I was an autist obsessed with a fictional dog who was staunchly anti-cat, I became something of a 7 year old Dog Nazi and would hit the family cat with a rake. One day she started crying when I did it and I realized what I was doing was totally fucked up. Whenever I think about it today, I get really sad because I would never ever want to cause a cat pain. I was so idiotic
>>2144147
Get back to your containment board, horsefucker.
>>/mlp/
I used to ride my dog like a horse when I was a kid even though my parents told me not to. I didn't realize how stupid that was until I was much older.
I killed my cat by standing on it's neck
When I was a kid I had a cockatiel. Sweetest littler thing ever, she loved me, and I loved her.
We didn't clip her wings because she was toilet trained for her cage and we let her fly around the living room freely whenever someone was there to be with her.
But I was a kid, and stupid. I saw her looking outside and thought I'd take her out and let her "see her habitat". I did and I was holding onto her a little but not nearly enough.
A car drop by, she slipped from my hands, and flew, and circled higher and higher and higher until she disappeared.
I was out all night with her cage, bawling like a baby, calling for her, listening for her in the trees. The next day at school I made an announcement on the PA with a color description, her name, and her species. All the other kids started teasing me about how I was "looking for my 11-inch cock".
Fuck them, I was heartbroken and I would've done anything to make it right. I doubt she was found, she was probably either eaten by a hawk, or she starved to death. So much fucking regret. She'd be old, but I'd still have her now if I hadn't done that.
>>2144149
Very much.
>>2144147
anon that's disgusting
>>2144347
That's why I don't trust horse people anymore after learning that horses have such big cocks. I KNOW that somewhere, someone has sex with horses and this guy confirms it
>>2144597
I think YOU are disgusting for having sex with a horse.
>>2143116
Are you better now?
>>2143071
When my husband was about four he shoved a stick down a frog's throat and through its entire body. When his mom saw it and freaked out, he suddenly realized that what he did was wrong and started screaming.
>>2144613
That's nice.
>>2142617
>white trash
>using edgy sjw words
My question is: why?
When I was 14-17, I had a cat named Basket. She had been dropped off at the shelter in a basket with her kittens, thus the name. I fucking loved that cat.
But I was very depressed at the time. The whole reason I got her was because my parents were going through a divorce and my mom felt sorry for us so she let me get a cat, and my sister got a dog (a white toy poodle from the same shelter that we named Daisy).
We really couldn't afford to have any pets. Daisy was never taken to a groomer while we had her. My mom would just use scissors to trim her, and my sister would occasionally brush her. We never once took either one of them to the vet.
I hardly ever cleaned Basket's litter box. I remember easily going two, sometimes three weeks between scooping out the poop. Plus, we ended up moving twice with her in that three year span. Eventually, after the second move, she stopped leaving her litter box altogether and would just sleep there.
We moved again a year later but couldn't take the animals, so Daisy was given to a sweet old couple that would give her the life she fucking deserved. However, we couldn't find anyone who would take Basket (no local shelter would accept anymore cats, and no one wanted her), so we just left her to live in the woods (which she had come to like there at the end).
I still feel awful.
>>2143160
HEY! The thread started with no judgement! That's how you get to hear (read)the story!
I let my parents dogs lick chocolate off and from inside my pussy for years when I was probably 12-15.
I know chocolates bad for them but the feels.
>>2144133
>implying outdoor catfags ever learn from their mistakes
>>2144618
Yes. Much better.
To stay on topic, here's a couple of things my elder brother did when he was an edgy teen going to high-school via train on the rough side of town:
>kicked a small dog in the gut with his steel-capped boots
>it'd been annoying him for weeks on end, yapping at his heels to and from the train station
>one day he had enough and kicked it hard
>it feel down and never got back up.
When he got back in the afternoon, the body was gone. Still never sure whether he killed it or not by doing that.
And second:
>another dog that would follow him for ages, being aggressive and shitty.
>this one he lured with him to the train station
>coaxed it on board, then moved to another carriage
>presumably this poor dog got carried all the way into the city
He'd never do stuff like that now: his high school was a shit fest, and he tends to react to stress by lashing out with anger.
OP here, I have a few more shitty things I've done to animals that I guess I'll get off my chest. Although most of mine where done with good intentions.
I've had 2 leopard geckos in the past, and I never took very good care of them. For whatever reason, I thought that since they could survive for a long time without food that I only had to feed them when I felt like it.
My first leo was Geico, she was a birthday present from my aunt. I only fed that poor thing like MAYBE 2 times a month, which was especially bad since she was just a baby (came from a pet store). I fed her a whole cicada once and I recall it's carapace bring visibly stuck in her gut for weeks. I remember she stopped eating before she died, so I force-fed her these spongy fruit bites that I now presume were meant for arboreal geckos. I adored that lizard but unintentionally took super shitty care of her.
The second was Skippy. Geico I had in elementary school, but Skippy I had through late middle school-early high school. I took slightly better care of him, but he still only lived for like a year and a half. I didn't feed him very much until I found out they needed fed more often, so I got mealworms and calcium dust and vitamin dust, and started feeding him every other day. This went on for about a week, until one day his tail got all dried up and hard at the end and he wouldn't move, he could barely open his eyes. He died over night and I still have no idea what was up with him.
Today I have a leo that I take excellent care of. Thermostat on the heating pad, ideal humidity/temperature readings, humid hides, and she gets fed every other day with properly dusted feeders. She's big, fat, and very tame and I hope I'm making up for my past transgressions by taking good care of this gecko.
Pic related is her
>>2144973
Was gonna minimize thread but if this is where it's going I'll just leave it open.
I didn't change my Corn snake's bedding until yesterday.
After a year of owning it, I just completely forgot about it, now it seems really grateful and uppity.
I had never seen it burrow until I changed te bedding yesterday...
i have a serious unhealthy attachment to my cat
i've had her for 15 years (got her when i was 3) and she's been with me through divorces, abuse, etc. at one point i was a complete shut in and she was my only friend and that lasted four years
i will not go anywhere without her, i try to avoid flying because it stresses her out but if i absolutely have to then i bring her along because i trust no one to watch her except one woman who's out of town atm
my biggest regret is getting her because i've limited myself so much just to keep her safe and comfortable
today i'm visiting family and she got loose and i straight up had a mental breakdown
>ran around desperately looking for her in the front + backyard
>worried because i'm surrounded by woods so she could be everywhere
>alerted neighbors
>sobbing and questioning god's motives
>called 2 family members i'm staying with and yelled at them
>checked the inside of the house, ran through poison ivy, went everywhere atleast 5 times
i now have cuts all over my leg, a possible rash on my foot, and i'm drenched in sweat
>cat walks into the house few minutes later
this all lasted about an hour
i like to think i'm a good pet owner, she gets monthly visits to the vet and i spend a lot of money getting her the highest quality food, etc. i'm just so fucking exhausted because i'm so attached to her. i want off this ride.
>>2145226
What will you do when she passes away.
>>2142711
Okay, that is pretty funny
>>2142573
When I was a toddler I used to pick up our fish and pet them so hard that they died. After petting them to death, I'd put them back in their tank. My mom thought it was some sort of disease from the pet store which would make the fish explode, but she continued to buy new fish and I kept on petting them to death.
I also once had a hamster, when I was around 7 or 8. I forgot about it and it starved to death.
I still feel bad about it.
>>2142573I was trimming my guinea pigs bangs because he was haing difficulty seeing anything. He then suddenly tilted his head and I accidentally snipped off a small piece of his ear.
I paniced and started crying.
>>2144658
Poor Basket.
>>2145334
i think i'll be fine. i just don't want her to die because of stupid shit like people leaving the door open.
i want her to die happy of old age peacefully. i'll probably get her cremated and keep her with me in a vase.
>>2145226
Why is it going to the vet monthly?
>>2145465
just check ups/get her nails clipped, sometimes its once every 2 months
since she's older they grow faster and if i don't then she'll often get her nails stuck on random shit
i also keep her indoors because we have many strays wandering around because our old neighbor just adopted kittens then threw them out when they got older + i live near an intersection so its just safer
i do let her out in the backyard (supervised) and when she's done she walks back in herself
i hope i'm doing a good job
I took very bad care of pet mice and finches and a budgie a few years ago (around 17). I just stopped caring about them especially when the male and female mice were accidentally mixed and everything started getting inbred. Their cage got very bad.
The budgie died because I forgot to feed it and the finches were the same way I believe.
I think I am just very bad around animals that don't love/can't love me or are too shy. I took far better care with my rats and lorikeet.
Letting my dog lick my nuts while I was jerking off. I jerked it off, so it'd be fair. Only did it once, but god damn, does it haunt me to this day. Horny teenagers are the worst.
>>2143116
I think that actually isn't as bad as some other things. Most horrible things people have confessed are done out of malice or out of ignorance.
Yours is more out of, without a better word for it, weakness. You still knew that the bird needed to be helped, but you couldn't due to your weakness/cowardice.
Hope you've grown from it.
>>2145831
Indeed, I have grown from it immensely. More or less recovered from my depression now.
My initial story was more-or-less when I had hit rock-bottom.
And I would agree that it is weakness that made me kill the bird: to the point where I did not have the integrity to at least kill it in a humane fashion.
It's a low which I staunchly refuse to sink to again.
>>2145915
Guess what. That weakness is not part of you anymore. Be proud. I'm proud that you accepted your weakness and grew from it.
>>2142717
I played frog baseball with my vegetarian friend, inspired by beavis butthead. I cut ones skin off and deep fried it alive. I taped ones mouth round the Tap n turned it on full blast.
I own frogs now, I feel so guilty sometimes. I wonder why, perhaps my bullying at school n shitty home life made me take my repressive anger out on innocent frogs. I love my frogs dearly now.

>>2145390
>i'll probably get her cremated and keep her with me in a vase
So the cycle continues
I dont understand why, but I'm in love with spiders and tarantulas. I don't mean i am just interested in them as a hobby. I feel a strange attraction to them. Kindred feelings. I feel a warmth from them. I want to spend time with them. They are so unaware of my existence and i just want to be acknowledged. I feel like the only way for me to become close with them.is to be bitten. Realistically, it's still only incidental. But i feel their attention regardless.
Sigh.
>>2144147
How are you alive?
>>2146312
Because I only fuck mares that either like it or don't care. If a mare pins her ears at me when I'm behind her I move on and don't bother her.
>>2145962
look up "frog sashimi" on youtube
>>2146382
I'm too overweight to ride horses. I lie about my weight and ride them anyway.
>>2146488
What do you weigh? How big are the horses you're riding?
>>2146495
275 lbs last time I actually stepped on the scale, but that's starting to come down. The horses I ride are around 15hh. I don't ride for longer than 10-15 minutes at a time, or if it's too hot out, etc. I'm also an experienced rider so I don't flop around on their backs, but I know that's not much of an excuse. I feel kinda guilty about it but I just can't stay out of the saddle. None of them have ever been sore after a ride or had any lameness issues and I've been riding them at this weight for around a year. They're also /fit/ so they're used to hard work. If any of them get sore even once from me riding them I'll quit riding altogether until I drop some weight, but at the moment I don't feel like I'm hurting them, just probably making them more uncomfortable than they'd like a couple times a week, which they can get over for the amount of money I spend keeping them well cared for.
>>2146514
If you're an experienced rider and not working them too hard that's honestly not that bad. You seem to be taking reasonable precautions, and mentioned you're losing weight, so don't lose too much sleep, Anon. They could have it far worse.
>>2144147
Please tell me at least you're not fat.
>>2144051
In my experience that's not a serious incident. As long as the dog isn't seriously injured and can breathe normally just after I wouldn't think there's an issue. Still something to be careful of though.
>>2145515
She sounds like a happy cat
>>2146731
I probably could have killed him, choking him like that. I was in/about to be in high school, I should have made the connection that stepping on his leash would snap his neck back and hurt him. But I didn't until it happen.
That was just the worst thing I could think of. There were other things that one could chalk up to the fact that my parents expected me to train a puppy at 5 years old, and I never really knew how to take care of a dog properly until I got my own as an adult many, many years later. My childhood dog didn't live a shitty life, but he didn't live a particularly good one, either.
>>2144175
>tfw popular 90's media radicalizes children
That sounds like a joke but that's basically what happened to you Jesus fuck.
I remember liking cats more than dogs, and having my friend always try to start shit with me since he had a dog. I'm remmebering that Cats vs. Dogs movie now and thinking about how dumb that shit is when dogs and cats hate their owns species more than the other 99% of the time.
What's wrong with our culture? /pol/ and tumblr are starting to make more sense now
One time I had a house gecko and I'd never leave the poor girl alone. One time I picked her up by the tail and it fell off, so I panicked and hid her under the front porch. She actually lived for a couple more years, saw her out there during the summer.
>>2142613
I find it more funny picturing a kid waiting three years for his tadpole to grow legs, the disappointed would be hilarious.
>>2143232

Innocent mistake
>>2144597
The horses don't know what's going on!
Fucking some living thing that isn't conscious like we are isn't right
You don't fuck a retard and defend yourself saying he doesn't mind
>>2146801
Horses are not people. You literally have no room to bitch if you eat meat or condone equestrian sports. Sex is not taboo to animals like it is to people, there is no pain being inflicted. Mild discomfort at worst, same as being ridden. Get over your retarded anthropomorphization and fear of a natural bodily function and stop being a hypocrite. You can think it's nasty all you want but don't think for an instant you have some sort of moral high ground because I use animals in different ways than you do that objectively cause less harm.
I was heading out with my family somewhere when I was really young and my Dad wanted me to turn the fish tank light off. All we had was one bottom feeder in it. I asked where the light was and he said "You have to learn how to do things yourself" so I just started twisting and clicking everything in a desperate effort to turn it off so my Dad wouldn't get mad at me.
We come home a few hours later with a weird smell. We look turn on the room light and see the bottom feeder floating upside down. We felt the glass and the water was fucking boiling. i cooked him to death.
Felt like shit for a while.
Parents get into a huge fight and dad takes off storming out of the house. His German Shepard mix scared off a momma opossum and nabbed a baby female and gave it to my dad. Dad brings it to mom as a "peace offering" and we end up nursing this stinky shitter back to health, tried releasing it and it had already imprinted on us so we kept it. Took it to a very trusted vet, gave it shots etc.., Litterbox trained it and had her for around 6 years. Acted like a very lazy, yet affectionate cat with the worst smelling shit known to man. Vet's assistant gave us a call that she had 6 orphaned baby opossums so we took up the offer. Raised em' correctly, trying not to allow to imprint on us. Everything was going fine until one day I heard lots of hissing and screeching. Went to check up on em' and 5 of these fuckers were chowin' down eating one of their siblings. Angry, I put them in a box, hopped on my atv and dropped em' off probaly a few weeks too early at the edge of our property. Feeling guilty I later brought a bowl of their typical food mixture later that night. Still kick myself over it because I most likely doomed 5 cannibalistic babies.
I bought an adorable baby ball python. Had a nice setup and everything. Bought some of those heating lights to keep him warm, with a red one to simulate nighttime. After a few weeks, I put these on timers in case I got home late so it wouldn't fuck up his circadian rhythm or stress him out. That night I crushed up some morphine pills, put them in water, sucked them up in a turkey baster, and squirted it up my ass. It got me high as fuck and I nodded out watching Fist of Fury. I woke up at 9:30 p.m., 30 minutes after the day light was supposed to go off and the night light was supposed to go on. He was cooked to death. I still feel terrible about my adorable little snack.
I gave the little black and white mousey that was his next meal to my mom. She named him Stuart. He started having awful seizures and I had to crash him with a hammer.
Just a bummer all around.
I'm actually procrastinating moving my piranha into a 30 gallon right now.

>>2146382
How can you tell if they like it? What do they do? I looked up horse porn when I was in high school, and usually the stallions would have erections but wouldn't seem into it. Versus watching horses fuck, like the infamous Mr. Hands gif, where they're going at it like crazy. But that's stallions. My coworker was in Afghanistan and he said that the Arabs would fuck donkeys. One retarded guy rented a jinny from town and brought it in front of their base and fucked it while waving at them. He said the donkey didn't even move. Another time he was in a fire fight and looked up on a hill and some kid who looked to be 14 was fucking the shit out of a donkey. I guess if you're about to die, might as well get it on. I wonder if he imagines 72 donkey virgins in the afterlife?
>>2147376
>How can you tell if they like it? What do they do?
They piss on your feet.
Enjoy that imagery.
Not a pet, but I killed 5 chipmunks this week. I've caught them digging up my garden, so it had to be done, but I wasn't too kind about it.
I baited them into a window well,and once they were inside, I would scoop them out with a net and thwap them on the ground with a hard thud.
I figured this was more humane than using glue traps...
Live traps are shit. These figures kept coming back, and they had to go.

You have to be 18 to use this website, anon.
>>2147349
I don't understand...why didn't your timers work? Also, only 30 minutes extra under a heating light would cook him to death? I know nothing about snake care, but that seems like an awfully delicate animal
>>2147543
recently moved into a home that was empty for a few years, it has a good 15~ chipmunks, I'm about to pull my hair out. eating all the plants, forget planting vegetables, raiding the bird feeders empty, chasing off the birds. I'm getting to that point, I just want them gone.
>>2147559
I leave their dead bodies behind the raised beds to send the remaining vermin a message. That seems to work for a few days. One went up into the downspout of the gutter as I was walking past, so I took a big rock and jammed it in to trap the little dick inside until the next heavy rain. These fuckers will have to learn to stay off of my property or die.
I buy bottles of ground garlic powder and cayenne pepper and mix it into the soil when I seed, but it doesn't work as well anymore.
>>2144147
So uh what does it feel like?
Also, aren't you worried about diseases? It can't be sanitary to do that.
Also, pencil down a mineshaft?
>>2147546
I forgot to say that both timers came on at the same time. Because I fucked up setting them. And they are pretty resilient, but he was just a little guy.
Played the bongos on my cat's ass. She digged it.
>>2147966
Aren't you afraid of them kicking you?
Do they treat you different afterwards? At least do you feel they do?
>>2142573
one time i burned 5 kittens and their mom alive in a bag because i wanted to be cool
>>2148441
>Aren't you afraid of them kicking you?
No. I've been around horses for a long time and know what to look for in her body language. If she's uncomfortable or unreceptive I don't do anything with her. I also don't do anything with strange horses that I'm not familiar with. Kicking is a non-issue for me.
>Do they treat you different afterwards? At least do you feel they do?
Not really.
>>2142573
When I was a toddler, we had a bigass fish tank with a couple dozen fish. One morning, when Mom was having a nap while I played with my toys in front of the TV, I decided to be a big boy and take responsibility by feeding those fish. But I didn't know what fish food was, so I dumped half a container of Strawberry Quik in the tank.
There were no survivors.
>>2142613
When I was a kid, I ordered one of those kits where you could grow a tadpole into a frog, and you fed the tadpole some special pellets. Mine never grew into a tadpole, and I could never figure out why.
Felt bad when it died though.
I keep my syrian hamsters in 10 gallon tanks with everything they need
When I was 10-12, my mom forced me to keep my hamster in the garage because she said they smelled bad and raised a tantrum whenever I tried to take it into the house. The hamster ran away after I forgot go clean its cage for two weeks. It had food though, because as a child I was a lazy fucker and would just fill the bowl up. Thinking back, that was the worst thing I've ever done and didn't realize. Just completely forgot about it because it was in the garage and I got excited over some maple story shit. The good thing is that my dad found it. The hamster ran to our backyard and my dad took it back home where it lived the rest of its life. Rest in peace, Sparky.
I realize now if I cannot proper take care of it, rather just not own any animals.
When I was seven, I didn't know the potato shoots were poisonous and fed some to my guinea pigs. One of them died and I remember taking his body out of the cage all stiff while its buddies looked on. I buried the pig on the hills and made a make-shift cross.
>>2150235
What?
What orifice do you use a turkey baster in?
>>2150262
urethra, always.
I had a salamander and fed it food which was pretty much like fish food which it didn't eat rather than crickets.It starved to death.

>>2150124
You monster. Thats too small
>>2142573
I don't have any. I always took care of my pets. I love animals too much to ever hurt them in any way. My friend killed a cat when he was little, though. He grabbed its tail and slammed it into the wall. The weird thing is that he was always a nice kid otherwise. Anyway, his dad said he couldn't have any pets after that.

We'll be able to say we knew you when once you become a serial killer.

Dina was the name of my Burmese kitten who died only a few months after we got her from being hit by a car. I was about six so I don't remember how it happened but she never should have been outside in the first place.
I'm so sorry, Dina. My next two cats died at old ages from renal failure and cancer respectively, and the kitty I have now is never allowed outside, but I'll spend the rest of my life trying to atone for that.

I cannot believe that any fucking retard thinks snakes are slimy.
>>2150554
you'd be surprised, a lot of people who are afraid of snakes and has never touched or been near one seems to think they're like worms; and also confuse venomous with poisonous so they assume they excrete poison everywhere
>>2150625
Probably because black snakes smell like death and the smell stays on your hands for 2 days.
>>2143116
I'm sorry for both you and the bird. I've been depressed before but never that depressed. Hopefully you are kind enough to the animals you come across now that you can make up for what you did.

>caring for an animals health is now the same as sticking your cock in them so you can get your rocks off
Not matter what you say, you will never validate fucking an animal to a moral population. For good reason. The fact someone has to explain to you that fucking horses is bad pretty much proves your flawed thought process. In short, kill yourself horse fucker.
I have survivor's guilt or something. I feel like the shittiest person. I work at a petsmart grooming salon and a little dog came in matted to all hell, long ass nails, smelling like piss and shit. The groomer declined to work on the dog while I was at lunch and the owners came back before I got back. It was plain to see that the dudes mom or whoever he said owned it either hhad dementia or was a shitty human being. I still regret not telliing him I wanted the dog and convincing him to give her to me. She started peing blood and that's why they declined service. He said she saw the vet about that but I don't believe them. Fuck me for not being able to save that goddamn dog. I still get complete anguish from the guilt. Fuckkk.
>>2151039
One could say that your lack of a counter-point (muh morality isn't a counter-point, stoning children for disrespecting their parents used to be considered moral) proved him right.
>>2151078
One could also argue that if you have to be convinced that fucking animals is wrong then you are a broken person. No counterpoint or not, some things a rational person should just know, a concept of right and wrong should be ingrained in you by the time you reach puberty.
Knowing that you should not stick your dick in animals (or vice versa) is not an alien concept, nor is it unreasonable to expect from anyone who is not mentally deficient.
>>2151086
Now you see, that is dangerous reasoning. We could use that same reasoning in many objectively acceptable situations:
>if you have to be convinced that fucking a guy in the ass is wrong then you are a broken person
>if you have to be convinced that watching cartoons as an adult is wrong then you are a broken person
>if you have to be convinced that arguing morality on a Mongolian basket weaving forum animals is wrong then you are a broken person
So on and so forth. I can provide more examples if you want, but in essence what you are saying is that your opinion is objective truth and you have nothing to back it up. You need to learn to be able to defend your positions without sounding like a teenage girl.
>>2151096
I shouldn't have to explain my position to anybody that beastiallity is wrong. It is that simple.
Of course on this board somebody like yourself will stand up and say "bbut whyy" or "you need to prove that fucking animals is wrong", but let's be honest this place does not function like the real world.
>>2151114
Well then, he shouldn't have to explain his position to anybody that bestiality is okay. It is as self evident as you being right.
You can't use a relativistic moral argument and then expect it to not be turned right back around at you.
>>2151096
>We could use that same reasoning in many objectively acceptable situations:
but everything you just mentioned technically makes you broken.
so you're admitting that you're broken?
>>2151124
If we're all broken then is anyone really broken?
>>2151119
>You can't use a relativistic moral argument and then expect it to not be turned right back around at you.
Just as much as you can't expect a statement such as "there is nothing wrong with fucking an animal" to be accepted by anyone in thier right mind.
Somethings are a given, keeping your dick out of your pets is one of them. Why are you trying so hard to make it sound like I need to show proof or sources? Most mentally stable people will agree with the obviously popular opinion that fucking animals is bad, and leave it at that. Why do you need this statement explained to you?
>>2151133
Most mentally stable people will agree that things fall when you drop them but that didn't stop Newton from proving it. Now obviously I don't expect everyone to be a Newton but everyone could take a page from his book.
>>2151135
I'm assuming you were taught that stealing is wrong. Did you have to shoplift something and get thrown in jail to prove this to you?
>>2151140
No, I can make the logical reasoning that stealing depraves someone of their right to property, therefore it is wrong. Can you make the logical reasoning as to why bestiality is wrong?
This was a pretty cool thread before the horse fucker argument started
>>2151126
>we're all broken
but we're not.
don't compare beastiality to homosexuality, it's more like pedophilia.
>>2151133
>Just as much as you can't expect a statement such as "there is nothing wrong with fucking people of another race" to be accepted by anyone in thier right mind.
>Somethings are a given, keeping your dick out of racial minorities is one of them. Why are you trying so hard to make it sound like I need to show proof or sources? Most mentally stable people will agree with the obviously popular opinion that fucking minorities is bad, and leave it at that. Why do you need this statement explained to you?
You're not very good at the whole "intelligent conversation" thing, are you?
>>2151152
I am not comparing bestiality to homosexuality, I am comparing that person's argument to a similar, just as pointless argument against homosexuality. I am trying to get them to think logically about why bestiality is wrong instead of using Tumblr-tier "muh feelings" statements.
>>2151157
the difference is that homosexuality is usually between two consenting adults.
beastiality is not, much like pedophilia.
>I am trying to get them to think logically
this is /an/
>>2151144
>Can you make the logical reasoning as to why bestiality is wrong?
I don't need to. I can recognize it as an act of degeneracy and know that it's not for me. Again, some things are a given.
>>2151154
>you're not very good at the whole "intelligent conversation" thing, are you?
Says the guy who only contributes insults to the conversation
>>2142573
In 6th grade a gecko accidentally got into the school cafeteria.
I stepped on it by accident when I got out of my seat. It was a horrifying thing to watch.
>>2151162
consent is still a moral argument.
>>2151162
>beastiallity is degeneracy, no matter what you think of /pol/.
>>2151170
>responsibility and respect
and about not ending up in jail.
one might argue that spending time in jail isn't too bad though, you're getting food, water, a roof above your head, and I'm sure Tyrone agrees with that once you drop the soap.
>>2151179
Bestiality isn't illegal everywhere. West Virginia for example.
>>2151183
neither is freedom of speech but there's plenty of countries that will throw you in jail for it anyway.
>>2151186
"You shouldn't fuck animals because you might get arrested" is a completely different argument from "You shouldn't fuck animals because it hurts my feelings."
>>2151186
Yep, which is why the legality of actions should be avoided when discussing why an action should or should not be done.
>>2151188
not really, don't you get thrown in jail in America for hurting people their feelings?
>>2151189
even if it's legal I'm willing to bet that you'll get arrested if you publicly admit that you fuck animals anywhere on earth except for the caliphate.
>>2151152
To make that comparison work you have to identify why pedophilia is wrong, and then make a convincing argument that those issues are still relevant in the context of bestiality.
Most arguments against pedophilia aren't relevant in the context of bestiality.
>>2151161
>>Can you make the logical reasoning as to why bestiality isn't wrong?
>I don't need to. I can recognize it as an act of no I'll effect and know that it's right for me. Again, some things are a given.
See, that doesn't work. It's the same as you saying "It hurts my feelings."
>>2151190
Are you saying that bestiality should only be illegal in America? Sounds convenient for you.
>>2151194
>Most arguments against pedophilia aren't relevant in the context of bestiality.
it's a consent issue in both cases.
I don't think they need to make it illegal for you to go to jail for it.
>>2151196
>it's a consent issue in both cases.
That's still an appeal to emotion/morality. A pepper argument would address the negative effects of the actions.
If bestiality is wrong, breeding is wrong.
Both are sexual acts the animal cannot consent to.
Both are done for personal gratification and/or greed.
But really, if you're a horse, would you choose
>have a small object shoved into my vagina that I barely feel a couple times a week and live an otherwise comfortable life
or
>have an appendage the size of a stallion's penis repeatedly inserted into my rectum and vagina throughout my life for the sole purpose of forcing me to carry a child that will be ripped away from me and sold into slavery to sate the greed of my owner, just to have the process repeated again until I'm barren and sold for slaughter
Have you ever seen a brood mare? Most are treated like absolute garbage. Their lives are a living hell.
The way I see it, one of those lives is much worse than the other.
If you're coming at this from an animal welfare or consent standpoint, you have things that are far worse out there that are tolerated/ignored by society that you should be focused on changing if you actually gave the slightest fuck about animals - but let's get real here, you don't, you just want any and every excuse to hate something different than you, regardless of the validity of said excuse.
>>2151492
You know it's possible to be against both right?
By your logic it's okay to beat children because some other people rape and murder theirs and beating isn't as bad comparatively
I made a cute classmate I had a crush on swallow one of the classroom's fish in grade school
The worst part was becoming a vorefag afterwards
>>2151517
Animals are not children.
>>2151558
>By your logic it's okay to beat dogs because some other people torture theirs to death so just beating isn't as bad comparatively
Better?
>>2151650
Beating inflicts pain and suffering. A sexual encounter with an animal many times your size does not. At worst it causes temporary discomfort - just like riding or working. Animals have no retarded stigma attached to sex like people do. If you're inflicting pain it will show in her body language, and yes if you continue at that point it becomes abuse, but the vast majority of people that do this don't push the issue if she's unwilling. Believe it or not we hate rapists and sadists as much as anyone else, but to immediately label all sexual contact with animals as rape and abuse is not only asinine, it shows a complete lack of capacity for objective rational thought as well as anthropomorphization and projection of human attitudes about sex onto animals that in reality simply do not fucking care.

It doesn't even necessarily cause discomfort. If one is able to recognize discomfort in the animal and stops what they're doing if and when see it (which is true in the horse fucker anon's case), you don't even need to address that.

I had hamsters and gerbils when I was a kid. I must have abused the hell out of them.
>Was obsessed with Pokemon
>Tried gelling my hamsters hair to make it look like Sandslash
>It almost died going into shock from the faucet water
and
>Had two gerbils from different litters so they fought a lot
>Seriously, one ate the others hand and the other ate the others eye
>Dad put a piece of plexiglass in the middle of the cage to section them off
>Removed the glass occasionally. Just watching them fight burned at my curiosity for some reason
and finally
While petting my gerbil one day, I noticed that before he shits I can sorta feel his poop through his abdomen. I started squeezing them out.
>>2151492
The idea is you should be able to find a woman your age to fuck and if you did you wouldnt be fucking horses.
>ex had 2 African Greys
>birds love me
>shower them in love and attention
>one boy one girl
>never stop making me laugh with their vocab
>they're sitting on a large, handmade, pvc perch
>I make a noise into one end of the tube
>the female freaks out
>hates me forever
>>2151678
So are you okay with people having sex with people passed out or in comas as long as they don't become aware of it? It's only rape and bad if it causes direct harm, physical or emotional?
I kidnap my current cat.
I leave food out on my yard for the strays, and even play with them. One day, a hungry but well-kept cat wandered in, ate the food, and acted like he owned the place. He also started to chew my hair.
I am instantly smitten. I let him go in and out as he pleases, but he keeps coming back, and he never left the place for more than an hour, so after a week or so I booked an appointment with the vet to get him neutered.
Deep down, I still feel guilty because I probably took someone's pet (his fur is too soft to be a stray), but since he keeps coming to me..
I'm a horrible human bean.
>>2152193
The only horrible thing here is that you still let the cat outside. Keep him inside do he doesn't get lost or get hit by a car or any of the 100 million other things that could happen to him
>>2143019
Anon, if you get another dog... Take care of it, atone for your neglect with kindness.
aint got a story but I just bought a new setup and am gonna get a fish
Which one lads?

Had a 9' Boa I inherited from a friend who had to leave town in a hurry. Kept it for about three years and built it this awesome 6 foot by 4 foot by 2 foor enclosure. One day boa knocked over water dish so sand was wet on heater. I noticed but didn't change sand for two days. Take boa out to change sand and skin rash on belly from hot wet sand. Boa stopped eating. Gave it baths, cleaned it and tried everything for a full year. Bought it rats every two weeks but it never ate them. Fucking snake hadn't eaten for a year and I'm headed home with one last rat. I figure if it won't eat I'll kill it and end it's misery. Snake was dead. Worst thing I've ever smelled. I'll never keep another snake after that.
>>2151704
It's because of stories like this and of what I did as a kid that I refuse to buy my kids any rodents as pets.
I used to neglect my hamsters until they died of either starvation or dehydration, I was a horrible pet owner as a child. I would also pick up cats by their tails and spin them around. Now I own some guinea pigs and I make sure they get the best care, I even schedule monthly check ups, bubble baths, and nail clipping for them.
>>2152546
Children are just really shit pet owners.
The best thing that can be done is not only teach the child about pet care but have some kind of pet that only you solely care for first when the child is still practically a baby, like a fish or something. By having them grow up with something, it makes them less likely to mistreat them when you teach them not to fuck with them.
Never give them real responsibility over a pet until they actually seem like they can handle it
>>2151196
I don't see animals giving consent to be butchered or put in cages
Which is fine by me because they taste delicious
>>2152974
Pretty much. I currently own guinea pigs and I plan to have more after these pass on. If I ever have kids I'll let them help with caring for them, but only with my strict supervision.
>>2153011
why would death require consent.
>Neighbors dog gets of of it's chain and jumps our fence and into our yard
>it goes right for my cat chester
>it bites on to him before I make it over
>grab the dog by top and bottom of it's snout to make it release him
>snap its neck somehow
I really didn't mean to do it. Not at all. I fucking hate dogs, but I would never hurt them or especially not kill them on purpose
At least the cat was okay.
>mfw i had to lug the dog to the bar across the street to put its corpse in the dumpster
>neighbors never knew it was me
>>2142573
Used to keep way to many fish in aquarium as kid. Had like 11 small aquariums packed with fish.
Shot a robin when I was 11 and shot a chickadee to impress friends when 14.
Now have 40 gallon amazon tank and donate to a wild bird center in Key Largo and the audubon society in my state. Also run bird education programs as volunteer.
I love birds now go figure.

When I was a wee lad, I accidentally killed my cat by jumping straight on its head.
Blamed it on the dog. Haunts me to this day.
When I was ten me and some friends were playing around with toads we'd caught, giving them names and making them race each other. I decided my toad was hungry and would like to eat some ants. nearby was a big ant-hill. So I dropped the toad next to the ants, but instead of the toad eating the ants, they rushed at it and began biting. Turns out those were Hercules ants. The toad began swelling up and twitching, big purple bruises from the ant bites.
It died shortly after. We held a funeral for it and spent the remaining day picking at the anthill with sticks.
>>2152974
Yeah... Your average 7-10 year old isn't responsible enough to properly take care of a small animal on their own.
My kid sisters have a hamster, but they only pick it up with supervision from my mom and she makes sure the cage is cleaned etc.
When I was 12 or 13 our dogs fucked and the girl got pregnant. Neither were spayed or neutered so it was inevitable really.
Our girl gave birth to like 13 fucking puppies. They were adorable and precious but being a poor af family there was no way we could care for these little guys. So at barely 3-4 weeks old we tried to find them homes. I even remember being outside watching them pups when a guy walks by and asks me if they're old enough to eat regular dog food. Not really knowing anything about dogs I just said yes and he immediately chose one to take. I don't know what damage I did giving that pup away so soon but I still feel extremely guilty for it.
That might have been the only pup to have gone away I think. None of these puppies were taken to a vet. We could barely even afford dog food at the time for the two grown dogs. I knew they needed shots and cried when they started getting sick. Every single one of them died. I held their heavy corpses and placed them in baskets so family and I could abandon them in a ditch.
I don't want another pet until I have the means to take proper care for them. ;-;
I nuked my friends reef tank while he was out of town by overdosing kalkwasser and ended up killing a bunch of his corals and had to pay him to replace them
>>2151196
>>2152145
I'm fairly sure fucking animals is the effect of some kind of mental problem, but 'rape' is a human concept. Many species 'rape' as their natural means of reproduction.
Imo, a guy who lets his dog fuck him or puts bacon on his dick so the dog will lick it, is strange and has some nasty fetishes, but he isn't abusing any animals.
Using consent as you would for a human is a slippery slope. You wouldn't put another human on a leash, or make them sleep outside either.
>>2154743
There is a kink for putting other (consenting) humans on leashes and I would never have my dog sleep outside
>>2142573
I sprayed my hamster with bleach
>>2154732
uhhhhhhh were you doing this as a favor or was there the direct agreement that you know how to do this and you wouldn't kill his tank
>>2150481
similar story, my boyfriend smashed a puppy to death with a brick when he was like 2
he was just sitting on the ground chilling in front of the neighbors house when he somehow got his hands on a stray pup while his mom was talking to the neighbor
>>2142573
I hit my dog once and I don't mean just the slap on the nose or the butt. I mean just open hand hit her. We were playing and she accidentally scratched my eye and it hurt. I just hit her really hard and she hid in her cage.
It took her a couple of weeks to get back to normal but she still acts different. I'll never forgive myself.
I had collected some toads and put them in a big glass jar. My dad told me to release them before I went in for dinner. But I didn't want to lose my 'friends' so instead I hid the jar behind the house and went in for dinner.
It was a very hot and sunny day. When I came back, those toads were roasted. I felt super guilty, but I still proceeded to take out all of the crispy corpses and lay them around the garden so my dad wouldn't know I'd left them in the jar. I was 6 or 7.
I love animals, but I was severely depressed for quite a few years. Here's a list of animals that've died before their times and been pretty badly neglected:
-3 hamsters
-2 hermit crabs
-5-6 ish ADFs
-many goldfish
-2 koi
-a baby guinea pig
-a betta fish, although he was in a heated and filtered 10 gallon. I never cleaned it, just added more water when enough evaporated.
I feel so bad. I never really should've owned animals and I took okay care of my cats and dog, but the small ones always ended up sitting in their own filth with no food and no water for days on end.
I want a snake, but I'm scared that it'll happen again, even though I'm better now.
My old guinea pig Muffins, which I had for 5 years. I spent a lot of time with him and he loved to cuddle, but sometimes I just couldn't bother to clean the cage and his poop would pile up. It'd be so bad sometimes I'd find him sitting on top of his house, just to not lie in his own filth, at which point I always felt really bad and cleaned it. I don't know why I sometimes neglected him like that, but judging from the similar posts in this thread I was probably depressed. Didn't take care of myself or my living space either.
>>2142573
I did the same thing with a piranha.
He was so stressed he never touched the food I would give him, he just slowly withered away.
>>2147544
They're the only people who use it nowadays.
>>2148077
Nothing wrong with slapping cat's or dog's ass, they love it. My dog wags his tail like a madman when I do it.
>>2143989
>i didn't cry when my dog died.
And? You loved it, thats all that matter
There was a stray cat that would eat the baby chicks in our farm. my grandpa hates cats and caught it one day. He hung it by its neck on a tree and called all the neighborhood kids to beat it like a piñata. After 15 or so he lit it on fire. We threw the remains into the river. It was one of a handful of cats in the town. I believe the others were neutered so they died off and there are no more cats.
>>2147540
You are a rapist but there is nothibg we can do to make you understand it.
You are a pervert, and not in the moral sense, in the pathological sense.
You are probably an ok person but you can't understand what is wrong with raping an animal even if he doesn't care much about it.
>>2144973
will you pls be my zoophilia gf (just please dont try to coerce furry friends with things that are bad for them, allow them to figure it out on their own)?

>>2142573
Saw rabbits in park one morning. Was throwing rocks at them to scare them away. Accidently hit one right in the head and watched it twitch to death in the grass. I didn't mean to.
>>2156165
>throwing rocks large and fast enough to kill
>I I I was j-j-just trying to s-s-scare em.
Sure you were faggot.
>>2155159
what the fuck. How can you kill a fucking betta in a 10 gallon tank?
If it was the only fish in there I highly fucking doubt not cleaning the tank killed it. I have seen fish live in much much worse.
I forgot to cover my crayfish tank when the ant exterminator was spraying our house down with poison
I didn't take care of my hamster when I had it.
Good thing, though. 5 years later and I learn how evil they are.
> Cousin gets me a cockatiel from a shitty pet store three weeks ago for a celebration
> Spot some issues already but won't be able to afford to take him to any vet for a couple of months
> Any nearby vets are likely shitty, I live in the shit part of the city
I feel guilty already, although I am trying my best here. Surprising to say he's very sweet until he gets annoyed and decides to bite for almost no reason.
My baby cousin poured a shitton of dish soap into a goldfish tank to "clean" it.
It died, of course. She cried, and she hasn't had a pet since.
>>2144147
Are they JRHNBR?
>>2145372
Don't feel bad about starving your hamster, they deserve to die.
>>2145519
Mice are able to love you. They're fairly close to rats.
Hamsters, however, cannot.
Some birds can.
>>2147349
PLEASE don't buy colored mice for snake food.
As a mouse breeder/keeper, it really fucking pisses me off when all the special-coated ones are in a stomach, and all the dull ones are sitting around.
