Wolfdogs aren’t cute.

We don’t need to cross a wild animal with one that’s already been domesticated from it.

Even if its amount of wolf content is low, it still has genes from a wild animal and still has potential to pose danger to humans.

Wolfdogs aren’t legal everywhere. In many places where wolfdogs do happen to be legal, if a wolfdog bites someone—even if she’s just playing—she may be required to be euthanized.

We already have dog breeds that resemble wolves without being crossed with them.

Wolfdogs aren’t ethical.

I have personally owned several wolfdogs (low, mid and HIGH 75%) as a licenced rehabber, and I'm here to tell you

It Fucking Sucked.

Wolves and Wolfdogs are highly dangerous, skittish, aggressive, and territorial animals that are insanely hard to manage let alone train.

They can almost never be house broken, require speciality veterinary and nutritional care, and are illegal in most of the united states!

They pose a danger to anyone who steps foot on your property because to them that is Home and they will protect Home with their lives.

Over 90% of all wolf deaths in the wild are caused by territorial fights between other packs.

They are highly highly dangerous and have no business being in captivity.

The only reason I had the ones that I did was that I was their last resort. We had no zoos or refuges that were willing to take in such highly strung aggressive animals, and I was the only one with the land, permits, and expertise that was willing to take them.

It was expensive, dangerous, and mostly heartbreaking.

Each one lived half of its natural life span because they were bred by backyard breeders who didn't give a rats ass about the genetics of the breeding stock and they had to be put down due to hereditary ailments.

Breeding wolfdogs is incredibly unethical and continuing to support them is lowering the genetic diversity if wild wolves. Where do you think the wolf blood comes from? From wolves poached from the wild.

Stop breeding and supporting the breeding of wolfdogs.

Years ago we got a puppy from some people who bred malamutes locally. This particular litter was a ‘surprise’ due to the fact that a black lab jumped an impressively high fence to access the female malamute when she was in heat. So, chubby little black and tan puppy, very cute, we have a farm with lots of space for a high energy dog . . ok? Not ok. At the age of 6 he went almost overnight from a very typical-labrador friendly personality to outbursts of bizarre, senseless aggression. We worked with our vet to try to save him, but he rapidly because a danger even to us. When my husband contacted the breeder (because they had asked to get him back if we ever couldn’t keep him) they admitted that they had bred actual wolves into their malamute line. And also that they had had to euthanize his mother at the age of six for massive health problems. It was incredibly shady both that they did that and that they didn’t disclose it when we adopted. I was a whisker away from getting my face torn off (literally) by this dog at one point. He was well-socialized, neutered, and friendly as anything - up until the moment that he wasn’t anymore.

This also goes for savanah, bengal cats, and other wild cross "domestic" cats. These cats will spray everything whether they are male or female, fixed or not. They will claw and destroy furniture no matter how many scratch posts you provide. They will escape and often never come back if you let them outside, I don't care how tall your fence is. They require a special diet which is not cheap. And they will have horrible health problems, which will be extraordinarily expensive, and you'll have your work cut out for you even finding an exotics vet that will treat them.

And I haven't even mentioned how they will bite and claw you and anyone else in your house.

Just don't.

Thanks for this too! Also Highlanders because they’re crossed with Lynxes

I saw something that was like “we put our lives on pause, but getting vaccinated can help us be able to hit play again” and it just bothered me because I’m not just starting again where I left off. I graduated from college in spring of 2020. I’m never going back to living there and regularly seeing my college friends. I’m never getting my graduation ceremony. I’m not getting my last months of college back. They’re gone!

So anyway this post is dedicated to anybody who went through any transitional period during the pandemic. Whether you graduated, lost somebody, moved, or anything else where you will never truly be able to get the last months/year of [whatever] back. It’s so easy to feel like you should be over it by now and just be grateful whenever you can eat in a restaurant and go into stores again but you lost more than that.

I’m just tired of seeing so many things about “going back to normal” when a lot of us don’t have the same “normal” to go back to.

why are centuries/millenia-old vampires so often described as tall? the average height now is higher than it was centuries ago. you're probably taller than the sexy vampire. own it.

Victor Frankenstein: I’ve created life but I refuse to put any effort into helping that life develop. I won’t teach him, love him, or defend him even though I forced him into existence with a fully operational adult brain lol. Peace, bitch.

The Monster: Am Eloquent Baby

Boomers: He’S NOt thE ViCtIM, HE’s tHe MOnsTEr

An ironic parallel considering the idea of “tough love” parenting that plenty of boomers like to use. If they buy into the idea that their kids just have to toughen up and face the real world without guidance or emotional support, I’m sure it does scare them to read a story where someone who wasn’t given any support began to resent their creator and turn on them.

it’s like that post that’s like ‘knowledge is knowing that frankenstein is the doctor; wisdom is knowing that frankenstein is the monster’. like the whole point of the post is that frankenstein’s monster is a victim of viktor frankenstein’s own monstrosity.

mary shelley did not lose her virginity on her mother’s grave just for people to misunderstand her best known work over a century later.

So, my iPod does this fucking genius factory thing where it forgets which artwork goes with which album and it makes guesses. Because it’s pretty sure I won’t notice.

Needless to say, I noticed.

Soooo a lot happened in our most recent session! Namely, Strahd decided to crash the Baron’s banquet we were attending, then proceeded to mack on our Ireena figure, roast the entire party, get a bite to eat via Saverio and Grim, start a fight, KO’d Grim twice then abruptly left with the rat crew he had summoned.

All in all we were left pretty shellshocked…also the Baron said the party wasn’t over so…hoo boy.
