Deep sea creatures are harmless. The only aspects of the ocean rational to be afraid of are: drowning/storms, sharks, and venomous jellyfish/conches/whatever, which are all shallow water concerns anyways.
People piss their pants at images of ugly deep sea fish because they're ignorant and don't know they're almost all a foot or less in length; you could crush them with your bare hands. Take the infamous Bigfin squids for example: their body from mantle tip to arms is a foot or so in length. How could one possibly hurt you? Its tentacles are wire thin and its beak is probably less than an inch wide.
The ONLY deep sea creature I could fathom being a rational concern is the Humboldt squid, but even then it has no confirmed kills and you could easily stab it to death with a dive knife if you have no other choice.

Previously on /jef/ >>5112982

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 all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. Jefrey was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild 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.

What do you think? Should they release her? Bring her to a sanctuary? Keep in mind that she's been living on a concrete floor for 40 years
>>
>>5114933
Absolutely should not release her.
At this point, she's probably so socially fucked up, she'd never fit with other gorillas even in zoos. In the wild, she'd be ripped to shreds and probably starve to death.

As bleak and cruel as her life has been, she will die with more peace in her heart in that isolation than in any other situation. Maybe they could give her an orphan gorilla baby in her final years or something.

>>
>>5114933
>Should they release her?
No way. She has no survival skills, it'd be a death sentence
>Bring her to a sanctuary?
This is tricky because gorillas are social animals so there's no saying how she'd react to other gorillas and vice versa. There would need to be an acclimation period to see how she and the others behave, if she can't coexist then sadly putting her down is probably the best solution
>Average gorilla lifespan is 35-40 years in the wild. Up to 50 in captivity
I wish she could enjoy her last potential 10 years of her life, but it seems bleak

Do any anons have experience keeping chibbens?

I'm getting myself some soon, I've built a coop complete with a little aviary and will be keeping four chickens in my backyard.

My yard isn't too big, the main part is about 40 square meters (400 sq ft), the coop and aviary are on the side of the house where there's another narrow strip of yard.
I won't be getting a rooster, the neighbors don't mind the chickens but surely they would mind getting woken up by a rooster at five in the morning (as would I).

The yard doesn't have grass, just some large beds with small trees growing there, I'm thinking of planting some greens there.

Would like to hear any experiences with chickens. I've read up a lot on the interwebs, but personal accounts are always interdasting.

COWS DEMONSTRATE FLEXIBLE MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL USE

Cows are now UNDENIABLY far more intelligent than cats and 99% of mammals. If you think it's wrong to eat cats, then you must feel the same way about cows and pigs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGVo41MuLiQ

“The only well-documented case of something comparable comes from chimpanzees, on those – also rare – occasions when they fish for termites by combining the functions of the two opposite ends of the same stick,” Osuna-Mascaró told BBC Science Focus.

You warming up plastic brings out much, much more of the harmful substances in it, such as pthalates[1] and bisphenols[2]. The amount can hardly be compared to you packaging the meat in plastic and freezing it.

My thread got bumped, cool. I'll post some more pics. :D
The piglets have been free ranging my property for a while, but they finally went too far and started going down the driveway. Patched up all the exit points and now they're stuck in my fields for good.
For the first couple days they'll try to escape and start whining when they fail. It's very satisfying to witness.
Also got 560 more laying hens yesterday. Got a stupid good deal on them at 6 dollars per bird. Normally you pay around 14-15 dollars per bird for 20 week pullets.
We are feeding 10-12 5 gallon buckets of food per day now.
