It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Stop humanizing animal thought processes. For goodness sake, they do not think like us at all.
Domestication is, in large part, breeding animals that think in ways humans find predictable and relatable! Even then, it’s just an approximation!
I agree. Mammals have higher brains and reasoning, on the scale of animal eating ethics, eating mammals is the least ethical, compared to certain fish/reptiles (not saying anyone should eat any animals) just that mammals have the most advanced brains as we understand them, and birds are pretty advanced too.
Having said that about mammals, it's not clear that other mammals form the same types of long term bonds that humans expect. Like, I did all this great stuff for this animal, so this animal is going to treat me good. It's more like, the animal is reacting to get what it wants, and it's very encounter to encounter.
