its been documented frequently that single wolves can kill adult black bears.
A single wolf can also take down very large ungulates like a moose or bison. its what they were designed for.

Way back when said videos were sometimes linked on this board, of course they were reported quickly. Believe me it's not fun to watch, pretty horrible shit, but to understand something sometimes you have to study things that aren't pleasant. I had been involved in a few ring raids (only to pick up the animals after) and found it interesting seeing what actually happens, instead of just the aftermath. No one spoke English in any of those videos though, I'm sure practices differ from country to country. If you want to find them now, it seems you need to make an account or learn Russian.
>What is the purpose
It's the same idea as baiting, but making sure the dog/s don't get too injured. It's used for entertainment and bragging rights. Also it gives the dog some credit too. You could maybe squeeze more money out of a stud if you can prove your dog killed a bear or something. There's this myth that baiting with large animals is used as training. I guess it can be true because it's practice, but that's not generally the main reason for it. You don't drop 10k on an exotic to train a dog. You do it mostly to show off.
>>2545876
I'm thinking something that could tear through that thick hide. Even lions have a hard time dealing with rhinos
As for the topic at hand, I have seen game pit bulls take on dogs much larger than them. I have also seen pet pit bulls get absolutely mauled by dogs I wouldn't even consider a good fighting dog. I've seen videos of pits actually lifting a tosa up off the ground, and I've seen pits give up and die from a boxer. It's not a black and white question, as niggerdly as it sounds it does depend on the 'game' of the animal. Also keep in mind larger dogs will tire out a lot faster, so you are betting on the larger breed just killing or severely injuring the smaller breed fast. Finding fights of different breeds, especially different sizes, is hard to come by because it's especially taboo and looked down on

Thoughts on taxidermy? I often get argued against it because "boo hoo, muh disease riddled rabbits get shot and some over populating mammals are destroying the environment and I don't like to see them die cuz I can't accept real life and death being part of life" then they go on to pay money to slaughterhouse workers that kill animals probably worse than hunters, depending where you're from, and eat without shame. I'm pretty sure that hunting is healthy and taxidermy is a nice way to honor the animal you killed by memorizing then into a trophy, an object to let kids and artists study from or just using it as a decoration.

>regulate them more and make the process more difficult

It would solve nothing. California has a 10 day waiting period already, yet you know how easy it is for a Compton gangbanger to get a gun? He goes to his guy on the street and gets one out of the trunk of his car. Regulation only punishes law abiding customers. Criminals will continue to get free hookups from Mexico daily.

Getting a bird with zero interest in fruit and veg is a huge pain. Don't feed him a shitty seed siet, look k to higher quality pellets.

Option number three (both hand feeding and mixing it with millet) worked wonders on my budgie. I convinced him to try watermelon from my hand, which he relunctantly bit and discovered he loved.

Chopping spinach and lettuce up with millet is popular. So is okra minced up finely. It even has seeds that are mostly liquid inside and pop like fish eggs. But then you have a smily bird after.

Do you guys prefer flea dip or flea combs? Usually a dip kinda person but recent events are making me feel more inclined to combs

>take them in and give them small baby appropriate dip
>still getting fleas weeks later despite that
>dip is getting pricey so I get a comb
>mfw shit tons of fleas & nasty fuckin eggsacs on it
They're a couple months old now and don't have too many flea issues now that they've been getting combed regularly. Have I been bamboozled about dip? I was putting it on the recommended areas, is it something you use when they don't have eggs?

I just don't see the point in wasting money on it when the only thing it has over combs as far as I can see is that it takes less time to do.
>>
>>2546210
>>only a week old in my disgusting shitheap of a garage that's frequently visited by possum and occasionally skunks
Maybe you should clean your garage
>>
Just use a topical, or Capstar + Program
>>
For an animal that young, a comb can be best because treatments usually aren't recommended at that age and then dips and baths can cause an animal like that to possibly die from sheer shock as it's essentially a newborn.

A comb is good for a few weeks. I'd recommend spreading diatomaceous earth around your garage to help cut into the pests around for the sake of the other animals.
>>
>>2546219
This. Capstar to immediately kill fleas for 24hrs (I think...?) and then get them started on monthly preventatives like Frontline, year round, if you plan on keeping them.

As long as you're treating every animal in an environment, the fleas will die off. This will likely be hard if they're outside, so I'd recommend either taking them indoors or rehoming them once they're old enough.
>>
>>2546216
Well it is clean...now. Possum won't fuck off though the skunks have left so that's nice I guess. Mom & sister also still frequent the area
>>2546219
>>2546238
>>2546231
I do plan on keeping them & they'll be indoor cats, and I've been spreading some pest killer shit, along with some small annoying parasitic bug killer stuff around the house for any fleas who hop off them and try to go for the older animals(went over the older ones with a comb before though and din't find any fleas on them). Also tore apart the house looking for eggs because I heard they like to leave them inside beds. I'll keep the monthly preventatives in mind though.

Tell me about the cameraman, did they survive?

I have a dog related problem /an/ there’s this dog. I live in Peru, third world nation of course.
In uni there’s a really unpredictable mutt. He bit me several times and sometimes he’s just laying down and he does nothing. The janitor doesn’t give a fuck, the dean doesn’t give a fuck. He hasn bitten many people by the record. But still like it because much dog.
What do I do? Kicks don’t do much, as I’ve seen people who were attacked by it. And has been close to biting some children. I considered pepper spray but If someone sees me I’m fucked.

hey mate, I will use 4chan for whatever reason I want. Stationmaster. I love birds, like I said, my bird had cancer that couldn't be treated, yet, that woman willing thought it was a good idea to trim her little budgies beak. She could have prevented it from happening in the first place - by not doing it. I had no choice for my bird, there was nothing I could do for her, so yeah, I am pissed that this bitch, who uses her disability as an excuse, could do something so carelessly - who the fuck even trims a budgies beak? they are so small!
