Jessica Gonzalez said:Maybe they should go save some pigs or veal. Or a lamb—though I guess our savior is actually called the Lamb. Pretty wild.

Look, I don't have an issue with people eating animals. Even if Koreans eat dogs, whatever—let them be, there’s no point in being a hypocrite.

But animal abuse? That's where I draw the line. It's insane how many people out there think that kind of cruelty is totally normal.

Paul Martinez73 said:Why is a dog or a cat considered different from a penguin, a snake, or a fish?
I honestly want penguins to be taken out on walks, dressed up in little winter coats, and given actual rights. We should ban keeping them in cages, and for goodness' sake, let's stop keeping fish in aquariums smaller than 500 liters...

Oh, and I also want the lions and all those other animals at the local zoo to be dressed in winter gear too.

And I want some show on a major network where someone rescues penguins that nobody else cared about, or maybe even a place where someone opens a sanctuary for turtles.

Well, go ahead and dress the lions, rescue the porcupines, and walk them through the park—who’s actually going to stop you?

Good grief. 😂

There is absolutely nothing to fear for the future of this society as long as we have such vigilant guardians, thinkers, and critics watching over us. ☕

It’s almost as if you landed on Mars just yesterday. Your entire life is dictated by inherited cultural patterns, yet you persist, with such stubborn intensity, in wondering why those very same patterns govern everyone around you.

I’d wager you don't even use toilet paper, but rather a bidet, because honestly, why wouldn't you? It feels much more in tune with human nature and the environment we inhabit.

Honestly, we've gone way too far with protecting wild fauna. What kind of crazy times are these? At this rate, a decent person won't even be able to slap a white mouse when it scurries out of its little hole without facing total public condemnation.

So, there’s this heated debate going on over at the local news site about whether people should be taking their cats out on leashes...
They’re claiming it’s totally normal everywhere else and somehow just an anomaly here. Well, I’ve traveled enough of the world to know I haven't seen that anywhere...

I mean, I’ve heard people say that dogs and cats eat each other in parts of Asia, so I’m just waiting for those same folks—the ones who insist everything is fine because "it happens elsewhere"—to start calling cat meat on a menu perfectly acceptable too.

Maybe there’s some new directive from the European Union saying all cats have to be taken to the vet.

At this point, everyone just uses the European Union to justify everything anyway, whether it’s true or not.😬

My cat basically told me to just go screw myself.

They secured funding from the European Union for the leash program.

So, Paul Martinez73 has kindly seen fit to let us know how much he disagrees with some anonymous comment on a trivial news story from an irrelevant site, and apparently, he’s just sitting there waiting for the anonymous author to answer for that mess once they finally set foot in the States.

I don't know about you all, but I have a feeling I won't be getting any more significant information before the day is out, so I might as well just head home.

Alright, old pros, let's get to it.

I basically smashed my keyboard against a nail.

Where on earth could Moki be?

Maybe if we opened a restaurant based on how many cats get hit on the road, we’d actually make some money.

A cat darted out right in front of me today.
He was coming from the opposite side of the street and decided at the absolute last second to test his luck by sprinting directly into my path while I was driving in the other lane.
Luckily, I managed to slam on the brakes just in time. It was a serious close call.

That was probably the closest I've ever come to hitting an animal.

What an idiot.☕

Did someone actually open a window in here, or is everyone just taking turns venting?

Lemme guess, typical beginner mistake—clutch first, then brake. ☕

Look, nobody drives stick shifts exclusively anymore.
Gentlemen, everyone's driving automatics these days...

Nothing, if there's no teamwork, it isn't a real car ☕
