He’s right though, an average of 6 people die from shark bites every year, whereas humans kill over 100 million sharks yearly. 70% of our ocean’s sharks have been wiped out since the 1950s. They are severely misunderstood.

He intentionally paid for the use of “terminal” subjects, meaning that no matter how cruel the tests get, the animal gets euthanized at the end of the study, so it’s allowed to go on basically until the researchers determine there’s nothing left to document. Some of (1)

You’re not far off lol… It’s rare, but stuff like that can happen!
Many snakes don’t really have a way of spitting things out, so if they’re halfway through eating something before they realize it’s too big for them to handle, they have no choice but to keep eating.

When researching single use plastic, I remember reading that a lot of India and Vietnam’s “contributions” to plastic pollution was due to the mismanagement of waste being sent there from the US/Canada as well… it’s legal to blame them for it once it’s off US soil :/

They really are! Every breath is a conscious decision. Kind of sad to hear, but when cetaceans get depressed enough to commit suicide, many times they will actively choose to just no longer breathe and drown themselves.

the animals used were euthanized earlier than others to prevent “unnecessary” suffering -basically they learned all they felt they could from the subject and decided to put it out of its misery. Had the research warranted that more could be learned, the animal would have (2)

Monkeys are protected under AWA, and there’s a limit to the amount of time they’re allowed to be under these tests, and if they’re physically or psychologically damaging enough, they are required to be euthanized, but there’s really not much regulation for this stuff at all. (4)

Ok, I have a challenge for all the artists that have some spare time. I’d like to see your sketch of CM 9380. Using the same picture as reference, I’m curious at the variety of interpretations we might get. Seemed like it might be fun 🤷🏻♂️

I’m pretty sure it means the animals will be killed after the initial test is conducted so that their tissues can be examined in higher detail, or to observe tissue degradation after the animal has died.
Testing with a mix of sick/old animals would defeat any purpose of testing.
@Trey_Explainer
I genuinely believe a lot more animals understand how mirrors / reflections work than what’s documented.
For example, I used to work at a reptile rescue, and one of the geckos had a particularly bad shed. When we were feeding him, a small cricket climbed out of his bowl and

No, but I don’t need to know them personally to understand that uploading someone else’s body to a mass online audience without their permission is wrong.
Maybe if you got your head out of your ass you’d be able to see that too.

I’m always tempted to tell losers like this to go touch grass, but then they might accidentally see a bug and write a callout post about how I threatened their safety.

Snails absorb nutrients and “breathe” through their shells, and any paint, especially nail polish, is extremely toxic to them. Not only that, but it makes them easy for predators to spot as well, which then eat them and can become poisoned as well. No paint belongs on animals!
@Coolio_Art
This isn’t true for all birds, but plastic often feels very filling because as it breaks down in stomach acid, it can create a lot of gas, which makes the animal feel deceptively full. Pair that with how it’s smooth (easy to swallow, looks like invertebrates), shiny (easier to
JUST IN: 18,000 cows are now dead due to an explosion in Dimmitt, Texas.
Honest question: How does a dairy farm have an explosion so large that it kills 18,000 cows?

Some art historians also believe there’s a connection to the sweetness itself. You indulge in a moment of pleasure as you partake from the pile, knowing that your actions are also permanently altering the existence of the “display,” or his personhood, for your own enjoyment.

These guys actually feel very silky smooth! Cow nose rays have a thick mucous membrane covering their body, but guitar fish, sharks, and some skates have much thinner ones, so they do feel like wet sandpaper. Never touched a dolphin before, so I can’t compare, haha

I almost never make “real” paleo art, I mostly just do dinosaur-inspired fantasy pieces haha 😂 But I love dinosaurs and really want to do more accurate work depicting them soon ♥️

Again, this experience was totally anecdotal, but it was interesting to see, and there’s so many other anecdotal stories like this with other animals, it just kind of makes me wonder.

Sadly, this kind of stuff is excused as a way to document the “progress” of this kind of product testing. The failure of animal testing is the one thing keeping him from currently being able to do this to humans, who may or may not be aware of how dangerous this is.
@SA1NTCAKE
I wrote a 50+ pg paper on how people from various cultures were kept in “Human Zoos” for white entertainment and no one, not even my teachers, had heard of this before. Like... it’s one thing if students don’t know but if our profs don’t know how will future generations learn?

Throwing my hat into the ring: Although I completely understand being afraid of wasps and not wanting to touch one, they do not attack for no reason. Wasps can be very docile and they are vital to our ecosystems. You don’t have to like them, but don’t kill them needlessly.
@tostyart
I don’t like Pewdiepie either, but it’s hard to deny the huge cultural impact he’s had on people, and still has on a lot of younger folks. I agree it’d be better to see someone who didn’t do this wierd shit spread a positive message, but it’s still a good message to be spread.
