That’s an understandable concern, I getcha, finding a hiding space for your personal items can be challenging. I’ve never had to share a room so I assume that adds another layer of possible dong discovery.
I just hide my shit under my bed in a box and if someone finds it well, then that’s just the way it is, whoops.
But yo it’s okay anon, you can buy a dong when you feel comfortable enough to. (Or horny enough, whichever comes first lmao)
Try your underwear drawer. Nobody but you should be looking in your underwear drawer.
Can you imagine being that bird? You see a big falling dot off in the distance, so you go to investigate. And it’s a human. Just, like, hanging out, in the middle of the sky. Plumbing toward earth at terminal velocity.
“Huh, that’s weird” you think to yourself.
You land on them. They seem nonplussed by their predicament.
But you’re a busy bird, you’ve got places to be. So you just fly off. Good luck, crazy human. Hope you make it.
For my followers who don’t follow bird things- that is not a wild bird, they’re not free falling, and if you haven’t heard of parahawking before ITS YOUR LUCKY DAY because you now have some beautiful videos in your immediate future.
The bird is a vulture (hooded vulture?) trained to fly with paragliders and occasionally fly to the glove for a food reward. Note the anklets on its legs and how it pokes at her hand looking for a reward. She doesn’t look like she’s wearing a falconry glove tho, so it could be someone else’s bird approached her, and that would be a bit of a surprise.
Numerous groups have trained up falconry birds to fly with them, and if you’re looking for good videos The Parahawking Project has a lot of them and does good work for conservation in general and vulture pr. in specific.
If you’re interested in a bird actually flying to a free falling human, falconers have tried that, too, because they’re out to do us all proud. A search on ‘peregrine skydiving’ should get you the BBC clip. I don’t think she ever actually makes it to his hand, but it definitely takes a full stoop to keep up with a skydiver.
The peregrine is called Frightful and she isn’t trained to glove (fly to her handler’s hand) in mid-air, she’s trained to catch a lure, which she does multiple times – she’s an awesome bird! Here’s the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3mTPEuFcWk
Yeah, that’s just as bad. Declawing is still cutting out the first digit of the foot, no matter what animal we’re talking about. It’s mutilating an animal and subjecting it to a long recovery and likely chronic pain for your own convenience. It’s cruel, and it should be illegal.
And dogs don’t even reach up and scratch things! If they’re messing up your floor, teach them to wear little booties. There are solutions other than surgical removal of part of your pet’s skeleton.
Lately I’ve been seeing people recommend rodents (in general) as pets that can/should be fed a vegan diet which is… Odd to me considering rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, and hedgehogs are omnivorous and range from benefiting to just straight up needing protein from bugs/meat to survive.
So out of common pet rodents that leaves you with guinea pigs, which ARE vegan and I would recommend as a pet to fit that lifestyle. Rabbits are not rodents but are vegan (and lovely companions).
Please don’t recommend animals to fit a lifestyle when they also cannot fit that lifestyle. It will mislead people into not caring for their pets properly.
But the fact you’re specifically asking about cattle and deer makes me believe you’re thinking about abattoirs. Those with proper welfare, slaughter the cattle in such a way that they don’t see each other because this obviously stresses the animal and is a welfare issue as well as effects the quality of the meat.
It also depends on what type of a reaction you’re looking for: Do they react in that they get startled? Do they react in that they show curiosity? Do they react in that they don’t seem to recognize the carcass as something to be startled by or curious of?
The context to exposure to the carcass is also important. A deer taken in the middle of a herd will presumably alarm the rest, because they have seen it die and the carcass is a marker of a bad event. This is not to say that the same herd will return and treat the carcass with any kind of caution. Likewise, if you kill and process a cow in front of it’s peers, they will probably be wary of the carcass but I doubt they are capable of recognizing it as a peer and mourning it. I’d have to have a look into the research, but neither are species I’m aware of being particularly cognizant.
Just taking a carcass and dumping it into an area will probably evoke a bit of caution from both, but probably due to object neophobia or the fear of something new and possibly dangerous. That being said I’ve seen a mob of cows grazing around a decaying heifer like nothing was happening. Also, cattle are curious in a kind of awful way? They’ll come up and investigate something, then ignore it or leave.
So when you ask these kinds of questions, it’s important to be specific about what reaction you are looking for, and keep in mind that we cannot quantify emotive reactions like ‘sadness’ without great difficulty, and even then, we make a huge amount of assumptions about an animal that we really shouldn’t be making.
Oh, and deer that need a mineral boost will chew on bones and hide from carcasses that they find, including deer carcasses.
