I can't catch these fucking mice in my house
81DP+U7qv4L
I can't take it anymore. I'm desperate to catch these fuckers. I put out every type of trap, live catch snap traps anything you name it. I recorded footage of them walking past and ignoring bait. I put poison out and they ignore it. These mice are running around at night like they own the place and can't give a fuck less at even looking at the traps or bait. Any tips?

/jg/ - Jefrey General #10 - Don’t Dream It’s Over Edition
C8BD36B1-7F7D-46A7-ABCB-42F868B712A5
Previously on /jg/ >>4967985

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s almost all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

Insect Suffering Is The Biggest Issue In The World
IMG_9258
I think insect suffering is the worst thing in the world by far. I know it sounds weird! But please hear me out—ideally with an open mind!

Many views seem intuitive but only because of bias. To southern slave-owners, the permissibility of slavery was intuitive. But this was only as a result of bias and a profound failure of empathy. They only considered things from their own perspectives, never thinking about what it would be like to be a tormented and subjugated slave. Had they done so, they’d have correctly judged slavery to be the abomination it was.

I think the same thing is true about insect suffering. People have the strong intuition that it doesn’t matter at all. But when one really reflects, this turns out to be for unreliable and superficial reasons. Insect suffering is genuinely important, and we only neglect it because of bias and irrationality. I think there are four considerations which when considered collectively make vivid the significance of the 10^18 insects presently suffering.


(Note: when I say insect, I’m really talking about plausibly-conscious arthropods—which is a class of very numerous organisms including crabs, shrimp, spiders, and other things that aren’t technically buts—but repeatedly using scientific terms like “arthropod” is lame, so I’m just going to talk about insects.)

Consider first: you shouldn’t directly trust your intuition that insect suffering doesn’t matter. You’re not an insect, you have no natural empathy towards insects, there’s social incentive not to care about insect welfare, and caring about them is inconvenient. Just like you shouldn’t trust the intuitions of white slave owners who have no empathy towards slaves, you shouldn’t trust your own direct intuitions about insects. If you feel no empathy towards a creature for superficial reasons, relating to its size and the way it looks, you’re obviously not in a position to reliably judge its worth.

Human vs animal generalChimps vs very jacked six feet human.
maxresdefault (2)
A chimp wins against a human even a 250 jacked to the bone 6 feet human simply because their grip strength is beyond any human and their necks are too thick for punches to be effective not to mention they can grab with all four limbs so wrestling is out of the question and their bite force is pretty strong also chimps have a predator and bloodlust behavior so they know vital spots like the genitals, eyes, ears,etc. One grab is all it takes for the chimp to win and it's impossible to avoid it. The only way for a human to win is to some how be able to sneak behind its back and choke him out if it's even possible with how thick their neck muscles are.

Facial Expressions of Dogs
LilyTheDog
So, have dogs learned to express their emotions with familiar facial expressions over the millennia of living with humans, and if so, do dogs feel the same/similar range of emotions and they get expressed with the same facial muscular movements?
Or are humans projecting their emotions onto mundane facial expressions of dogs?

Fun fact. Back around 1998-2000 a hybrid shark (great white + whale shark) had been created in a laboratory. Several were created. Then...due to funding cuts...the entire experiment was brought to an end and the hybrids were released into the wild.
At the time this barely made the news. It was a mere short article in a handful of newspapers.
Geeks, nerds, and a few environmentalists made a big deal out of it at the time, but then it was memory holed and forgotten by nearly everyone. Only a few people even vaguely remember anything about it at all.
I am one if those people who remember, because it struck me as being highly irresponsible of them to release the sharks into the wild.
My guess is they assumed the sharks would just die and be unable to breed.
Yet...decades later we have all been hearing rumors of megalodons in the ocean.
I don't think they're megalodons. I think they're the hybrids.
Have any of you heard anything about all this?

Handsome Biologist Denies the Title
HandsomeBiologist
Marco Zozaya is a famous Mexican biologist from Tamaulipas. In 2016, when he was still a child, Marco made a short pro-vaccine video that showed how stupid the anti-vaccine movement is, and when the video went viral internationally, many of these anti-vaccine movements started to insult Marco a lot on Twitter. Marco however gained his first fans when the video was spread by sites like BuzzFeed and was shared by Ashton Kutcher on Facebook.

After turning 18 and graduating in Biology, Marco started writing many articles on Mexican fauna, and started working with Jorge de Leon, a famous Mexican YouTuber. Marco appeared in lots of videos from big YouTube channels. He quickly caught attention from many people, not only for his intelligence and charisma, but also because of his beauty. Marco was labeled as Mexico's most beautiful biologist, and maybe even the World's most beautiful biologist, and earned the nickname "Handsome Biologist", or "El Biólogo Guapó" in Spanish.

Despite the flattering moniker, Marco Zozaya is quick to distance himself from the title. "I never expected to be labeled this way, and I honestly don't think it's important," he remarked during a recent interview. “Being recognized for my work as a biologist is what matters most to me. Beauty is subjective, and it shouldn’t overshadow the importance of what we do in the field of science."

Zozaya’s rejection of the title has sparked discussions on the intersection of appearance and professional identity. While the world is full of individuals who are recognized for both their intellect and physical appeal, Marco seems intent on keeping his focus firmly on his research and conservation efforts, rather than on his looks. He has even made it clear that he believes the true beauty in science lies in the discoveries, not in how one looks while making them.

Aggressive zoomies on walk
30947098457_818a623b74_b[1]
I have a one year old poodle mix I got from a shelter. She's about 35 pounds and is fully grown. She shows no resources guarding or aggression with her toys, treats, or food. She is starting to get along better with her 18 pound dog we have.

She's not aggressive with the dog but tries to play with her. The other dog just doesn't want to play so she's learning her boundaries. I can leave her alone for hours at a time without going in the pen. She doesn't chew on furniture or anything like that. She's very quiet and will stand and watch delivery drivers through the screen door approach without barking. Overall, she's very well behaved, outside of some puppy things like keeping her distance when we eat.

However, when I take her for a walk she gets these aggressive zoomies. She'll run around in circles back and forth, she'll bite the leash, my clothes, or me. I've heard it was triggered by excitement so I take her to less stimulating areas but just about anything excites her. (It can also happen when I let her out and she poops). I've taken her for shorter walks and that seems to help for now.

How do you stop this type of zoomie aggression, when she's in that state she doesn't listen to any commands. All I can do is stand still and not react to her behavior.

What are some things I can do to stop or mitigate this?

>muzzles?
>choke collar?
>bring a toy to redirect her biting?
>very short walks (they're so short it's barely a walk)
>shock collar?

Everything else is alright. The length (40 feet) is fine. And they recently discovered a femur that strongly suggests that it could've weighed 12+ tons.

It's just that height that gets me. Just half a meter would do. Maybe it's because of Jurassic Park but the idea of T Rex being as tall as two Dutch men standing on top of each other is just a bit underwhelming.

Should I help this goldfinch? It’s hopping around injured. Do wildlife rescue places actually want you to bring in birds? Every website seems to suggest so but also suggest they can get stressed and die easily.

Hey guys /v/ here, I was on a midnight walk with the wife and I heard distressed bird noises and I stopped and look and found this little guy in a corner below a porch covered in dirt. He probably fell and would've been eaten by cats by morning. We took him in, put him in a cage we had along with some water and a slice of bread but hes a baby and I don't know if he'll eat.

He stopped making noises since I picked him up and now hes sleeping but I gotta go to work in the morning and I don't know what to do. I called a friend and he said to take him to a pet shop, show him to them and they'll tell me what to do but I'll still have to leave him alone

Last night I was with a group of random people escorting a duck and her 10 ducklings to safety in Old Montreal.
She was found by Square-Victoria metro (We have no idea how they got there), and we herded them down McGill street to the canal by the river, blocking traffic on the way.
At that point we were glad to get them to water where they were safer and could swim around. Then we realized the canal had locks on either side and the ducklings were trapped there until the locks opened. We rigged a plank in the water where they could rest and stay dry.
One of the girls called me this morning and said she was there and saw them resting on the plank.
I went back later today but there was no sign of them. I hope they made it out of that area.
Op is not a pic of last night. A bunch of people were filming, but I don't have a cellphone. I'm trying to search for video uploads but have come up empty.
I don't do social media, so this is just to make a record of the event.

Cat breeds do matter
IMG_3080
I have a 5 yo ragdoll who is a very nice clean well-behaved cat.
Every once in a while we may take care of a street cat to then give it away after fixing them up. Right now while taking care of yet another street kitten who is a mystery meat tabby, I realized how fucking obnoxious and unhygienic lower quality breeds are. My house smells like piss because of this kitten and her meows are extremely fucking loud. Fuck sake.

Do not fall for the meme of "breeds don't matter, they're just different aesthetics".
They do matter a lot. Even my ragdoll cat when she had kittens, they were very well behaved and clean.
Can't wait to give out the stray away once she's spayed.

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

Mans True Friend
Humanity Hero
Why did we do them so bad bros? They were our loyal friends and arguably the first domesticated animal. They've been there for us since day one, we were meant to be together considering we naturally build the perfect kind of houses for them to nest in. They fought beside us in war, raced for us in peace, provided companionship in the darkest of times, gave us food when there was nothing else to eat.

https://youtu.be/VwN92jugXCA

We betrayed them so hard, they can't even build nests anymore since we used to provide all their housing pro-bono and now they resort to a few twigs.
Wish for a world where the pidges are recognised for what they've done.

comfy dog smell / the huskaroma
dogsniff
Whenever I walk into a husky owners house, I can instantly tell because of how good and comfy it smells. And then I spend the rest of the visit smelling their dogs ears, head, and neck at every opportunity because they smell so good.

But ONLY huskies and husky mixes. Just one other dog (ie: german shepherd, golden retriever) and it doesnt just stink, it ruins the comfy husky smell by rubbing off on them so you can never smell pure, comfy fluffy husky fur again.

How do they do it? Why do huskies smell so good and huskalicious? They only smell like other dogs when they're wet or hot and stressed out. Why have we not isolated the huskaroma gene and introduced it to other breeds?
