Anyway Though Stop Being Rude Please We Just Like Animals

One time my rabbi told us, “imagine you had a box with a little bit of god in it. What would you do with the box?”

So we were like ?? “We’d protect it and keep it nice and clean and polished” and he was like “your body’s that box. Stop eating markers”

“Bettas live in puddles…”

“Well actually bettas live in dirty puddles so even though the water in my .25gal (.9L) is brown and smells like its rotting, its tottally okay to keep my betta in there!”

“All that room for one fish? Bettas live in puddles so no I don’t need that big of a tank”

“Bettas live in puddles their whole lives so its okay to permanently house them in the cup they’re sold in”

No. No. No. No. No.

Bettas live in rice paddy’s. Hundreds upon hundreds of acres of three feet deep water surrounded by roots and leaves and plenty of hunting grounds.

Domestic bettas are bred in large glass jars sometimes. It doesn’t mean you can keep them in the glass jar.

Sure, I can fit in the under the stairs closet and live my whole life there. Oh wait. I’d be miserable. I don’t understand people who take an animal who is completely reliant on you as its soul source of living, and just throw them in a cute little wine glass and ask me why tf their betta isn’t eating/swimming/ living, and then tell me I’m wrong when I say they need at least 5 gals and lots of hiding spots because “they live in puddles”

I brought a friend to biology today and like a good student, she began cleaning herself in the middle of lecture

Van der Linde gang, early days

Brachypelma hamorii’s first feeding at home. Look at dat cute lil’ booty!!!!

i love it when i have the opportunity to teach little kids about bugs. theyre usually grown up with parents that spew the typical “all of them are nasty” mindset, but there’s a lot that are still curious

ive just had 4 young girls and their mom watch as i handled my tarantula gently on my floor and educated about them; what they eat, differences between old and new world, their anatomy, etc. most of the girls claimed to be afraid of bugs but willingly looked very closely at her when i pointed out her eyes!! she also had a leg sticking up and the kids gave her a gentle high five. she was very docile and chill during the entire experience. shit like this just makes me so happy
