That sounds like manifestations of some kind of mental illness. I heard a similar story about anorexic/bulimic with OCD who would bag and store her shit.

Well, if they are anything like Brock Turner’s parents, Dan and Carleen, they’ll setup a page so friends and family can help pay for the legal defense of the “tragic situation,” ie rape, that Brock was caught committing. They’ll write tearful letters to the judge describing how their wonderful son is no longer…

Honestly, it’s time to start shaming the parents. Didn’t we hear about the supposed issues of Tamir Rice’s parents before the child was even buried? If her parents don’t denounce her then they’re complicit imo. This is where the internets can use its powers, out them all.

We hear ALL these stories about the Becky’s and Jason’s of the world committing these acts, but I never see anything about the parents. Where are they? How did they raise children to be this way? (I mean We know how....praising your mediocre child all his life, but I digress) I just want to know what Kathy and Bill…

I’m Team Cat too. Love them dearly but also love birds and small critters. Cats can be perfectly happy inside with lots of play and a window bird feeder that allows them to “hunt” inside. Plus it’s hilarious for the humans to watch.

We thank you for your concern. After long deliberation and passionate speechmaking, we hedgies have unanimously agreed upon a survival plan: curl up in a ball & hope the bad things go away.

Average lifespan for a cat allowed to go outside, 4-5 years.

Any animals that hibernate are affected by climate change. Higher temperatures mean they can’t shut down as completely, burn body fat at a higher rate and are more likely to starve.

Healthier, yes.

A Cat’s Diary: day 983 of my captivity.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

The photo accompanying the story is not a European hedgehog. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m not sure why it’s such a prickly subject, to be honest...

A major crisis for British croquet players.

I saw a hedgehog drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s. His hair was perfect.

Agreed. They are decimating wild bird populations too in mind boggling numbers. As in they’re the second greatest threat to songbirds after habitat loss in North America anyway. There is such a simple solution to this problem (ie keep your cute little bird and small animal murderers inside, or at least supervised on a…

Slightly unrelated, but beware all those absolutely adorable pictures and videos of people with super awesome hedgies as pets. Yes, they are cute and adorable. But hedgies are NOT domesticated, and there is a high likelihood that your pet hedgie will be an anti-social recluse that hates all human touch (but still be…

One of my neighbours runs a local hedgehog conservation project encouraging locals to make their gardens more hedgehog friendly. (Google Barnes hedgehog highway.) We always had hedgehogs in our garden growing up.

When you kill off the animal most closely associated with your country something is going very wrong.

Gosh, what could possibly be causing the current mass extinction? We have no idea... none at all.

They’re disgusting vermin who hide in the shadows and defile their landscape. Their breeding habits are particularly revolting. For every item they devour, they ruin ten more.

I’m glad someone has the spine to stand up for these creatures.
