I'm pretty sure killing animals simply for the pleasure of killing them is a bad sign.

That's why they call them the Canadian Cobra Chicken.

You need to escape the octothorpe with a backslash like this:

\#notallgeese

Which renders as:

#notallgeese

Why do we seem to value some animals more than others? What if he said "strangle a puppy?"

[–] Stamau123 23 points 9 months ago

Cuz puppies ain't got that big ol' neck

Geese are mean, puppies are cute.

because time and evolution

in some parts of the globe, we've grown to use dogs for tasks such as herding sheeps

in other parts we used to have animals such cats as tokens of good luck or as "oracles", depending on their mood

with that in mind, some animals are more ingrained in our general society as companions rather than food

if you get a newborn and never teach the "companionship" of dogs and cats, they will grow to consider them as food just like all the other animals

there are tribes in africa and other locations, that eat dogs/cats just fine, and if I HAD to, I'd totally eat It too
