i can't believe i've witnessed several practicing veterinarians defending extreme brachycephaly by arguing that brachycephalic skulls occur naturally in several species in the wild. yeah debrah the difference is that tarsiers evolved flat faces over millions of years and humans have squished pug skulls in like 200 years. none of its insides have otherwise adapted to that shape it's all crammed in there.
look how neatly arranged and tidy the tarsier jaws are, that just isn't comparable to a longer snouted animal we have selectively bred to be very short in a fraction of the timespan.
its always scary to me how you can just do anything like i could spend the last of my money right now to ride a train for 3 hours and then just be stuck out there and walk around until i die of exhaustion
1 Rat Terrier, just ONE Rat Terrier killed 2501 rats in less than a day.
Meanwhile, barn cats are lucky to kill 2 rats a day.
Because they suck at ratting.
Cats prefer smaller prey and only cull 6 mice daily.
Which means they sùck at hunting mice too.
Yet, cats kill billions of small wildlife such as birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles purely for sport. Since small fauna are easier to catch than mice/rats.
Especially baby native animals.
Normalize using dogs for responsible pest control.
They are efficient without destroying local ecosystems.
I am strongly against barn cats. This link is pro barn cats, but Im only sharing it to confirm how many mice a single cats kills. Which is a WHOPPING six mice.
