Why do people hate turkey vultures I mean look at them
They’re super curious and clever and have that sense of innocent mischief you’d expect from a puppy.
They’re pretty much solar powered and they assume The Stance while recharging
CUTE FLOOFY NECK FEATHERS THAT MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THEY’RE WEARING A TURTLE NECK!!
Since they lack the hooked talons of their raptor cousins, these lil dudes really can only use their beak to investigate stuff, so they just softly nibble things (until they decide that what they’re nibbling feels super fun to take apart and play with).
Plus their scientific name means Golden Purifier because of their golden brown feathers and the fact that they clean up all the nastiest bits of corpses.
They’re just.
Such Good Birds.
you are seriously underestimating the beak strength and shredding potential of an animal that regularly rips through deerhide on the side of the road
THEIR BITES HURT
A LOT
They do Ive been bitten by one
But i love them anyway they are good birbs
Yes, vultures are awesome! The vultures that I work with do regularly try to sample human flesh, but they are well-loved anyway!
Wild 👏 animals 👏 are 👏 not 👏 pets 👏 don’t 👏 keep 👏 primates 👏 they 👏 are 👏 not 👏 cute 👏 they 👏 will 👏 fuck 👏 your 👏 shit 👏 up 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Like, seriously, here’s an excerpt
“On February 16, 2009, Travis attacked Sandra Herold’s 55-year-old friend Charla Nash, inflicting devastating injuries to her face and limbs. Travis had left the house with Sandra Herold’s car keys, and Nash came to help get the chimp back in the house; upon seeing Nash holding one of his favorite toys, Travis immediately attacked her. Travis was familiar with Nash, who had also worked at the Herolds’ towing company, although Nash had a different hair style at the time of the attack. The chimp had been taking medication for Lyme disease. Herold, then 70 years old, attempted to stop Travis by hitting him with a shovel and stabbing him with a butcher knife. “For me to do something like that – put a knife in him – was like putting one in myself,” Herold later said. The chimp turned around, she said, as if to say, “‘Mom, what did you do?’” The ape was angered more. Herold then called 9-1-1 and pleaded for help. Travis’ screams can be heard in the background of the tape as Sandra pleads for police, who initially believed the call to be a hoax, until she started screaming, “He’s eating her!” Emergency medical services waited for police before approaching the house. Travis walked up to the police car when it arrived, tried to open a locked passenger door, and smashed a side-view mirror. Then he went calmly around to the driver’s-side door and opened it, at which point Officer Frank Chiafari shot him several times. Travis retreated to the house, where he was found dead next to his cage”
I’ve heard the 911 call, it is truly sickening. I can’t even imagine the level of agony that woman endured.
America needs to be stopped. Just because you CAN do something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
Places like big cat rescue are overrun with the results of idiots like these.
If it can bite your face off it is NOT A PET!
also, please, think about how awfully it ended for the animal. there were no winners here. none.
Another shoutout to the demons and monsters that lived under your bed/in your closet and actually obeyed all the arbitrary rules you invented to keep yourself safe, like “if light is touching me at all I can’t be harmed” or “if I’m stepping on carpet I am untouchable” or “if I move my hand in a particular pattern while I walk, I’m off-limits during my voyage through the dark house to the bathroom”.
That was really considerate of them, especially given how biased in your favor those rules were.
Shoutout to the assorted creepies for obligingly evaporating when the lights went on and pretending to be afraid of tiny-me’s scary faces.
Anybody read the webcomic Romantically Apocalyptic enough to know the characters? I wanna yell about my OCs interacting with some of them, mostly Snippy and Engie.
The part of this I don’t like is “they will most likely move on to an easier target.” Like I’m supposed to feel fine about someone else with a less sturdy door getting ripped off?
Change your neighbor’s screws too
Channel your inner dad
Chage everyone’s screws
Chaotic good option break into everyone’s apartments and fix their door screws.
