@la3ilu Horse legs are basically giant fingers. That’s the finger nail at the end of it. Most of it is just the same material as our nails, just a lot thicker and stronger. Putting shoes on the hoof does not harm the horse at all.
@festingmani@Blobifie@kaernhaesuhl@siloegg9 Cats are one of the most successful predators and they hunt for fun, not just food. They kill up to 20 prey a day and they have a 32% success rate. This devastates ecosystems. No amount of vegan diet would change those numbers. You’re so so stupid oh my god.
@festingmani@Blobifie@kaernhaesuhl@siloegg9 Actually the devastation cats have caused in ecosystems is due to the fact they are an invasive threat to the animals there. There are some places with no predators like cats at all, so the animals there are not at all equipped to survive encountering one.
@festingmani@kaernhaesuhl@siloegg9 Bro that’s probably its night-time / sleeping cage. Most bird owners just have them sleep in the cage and then let them out in the house during the day.
@festingmani@kaernhaesuhl@siloegg9 And I’d rather never see a helpless animal I love torn to pieces by a coyote again and never being able to find parts of its body to give it a full and proper burial, so I am entirely content with keeping my pets indoors after experiencing that as a child. Fuck yourself.
@polodetti@siloegg9 And what indication do we have that this person did not already have their bird in a room with closed doors and windows that are being circumvented despite their efforts?
@Azthaspaz@siloegg9 My personal rule with stuff like this is to go off the information provided unless something more substantial is provided to contradict it.
@Sst25974@__yagami___@siloegg9 The cat probably isn’t seriously hurt. Its paw is scratched most likely. Cat paw pads are like our faces: a lot of surface veins, so it bleeds productively. One of those “looks worse than it is” things.
@festingmani@kaernhaesuhl@siloegg9 My animals also yearn to eat chocolate and grapes when I’m eating them but that doesn’t mean they should eat poison. My job as a pet owner is to keep them safe, alive and happy. Considering an outdoor cats lifespan is 5ish years and my cats are ages 12-20? I’m doing a good job.
@festingmani@kaernhaesuhl@siloegg9 Actually cats should 100% remain in their homes due to how dangerous they are for ecosystems and how much danger they are in outside, and most pet birds are not suitable to return to the wild. Releasing it would also just kill it needlessly.
@lTz_Ze@Sst25974@DiegoBr31326675@siloegg9 I’m a cat lover and own several myself. I’d also use protective hazards if something was sneaking into my home to hurt them, it’s insane to not respect a bird owner doing the same imo. People have the right to reasonably defend their pets.
@hugoat1404@__yagami___@siloegg9 If the bird is in the cage at all times? Yeah, it’s bad. But if it’s just a sleeping cage / night time cage, it’s really solid. Most bird owners will let their birds out during the day.
@Sst25974@DiegoBr31326675@siloegg9 The cat does have the ability to think “ow fuck my paws hurt” and back away. It’s not about morals, it’s about a deterrent that makes the effort to kill the bird not worth the risk to the cat. It’s a predator, it weighs risk vs reward. Both animals live as a result.
@_7Ark_@siloegg9 The animal is intruding into their home and attacking their pet. While they try to figure out how it’s getting in, their only real option is “use spikes and pray”
Sometimes in order to protect something it means something else gets hurt. It sucks, but they’re doing their best.
@polodetti@Legendormu@siloegg9 I’m sure they are trying to figure out how it’s getting in. In the meantime, they can’t just let their pet get killed, can they?
