I never knew :(
UDDER FLAMING/SINGEING
One of the torturous practices “dairy” cows are forced to endure for humans’ taste buds is udder and belly hair removal. Dairy farmers claim that hair removal is a vital process to improve udder cleanliness and reduce bacteria and that udder flaming/singeing is a “humane” way to accomplish this. Udder singeing is further described as a way to remove hair “quickly and painlessly, using a 6” cool flame, eliminating the need to clip udders manually.”* The cows in UDDER SINGE demonstration video appear to disagree with the claim that it is painless: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0LzliJzoXs
While some dairy farmers flame the udders when they are full of milk, some flame them after the cows have been milked.

There is an expected crash of the fish population around 2048.
Pleasestop eating fish, you are driving them to extinction.For 1 pound of shrimp, you literally kill 29 pounds of other non-targeted fish.
Stop eating fish, you are greatly destroying the whole oceanic ecosystem.

My mom said if this post gets 500,000 notes nothing will happen.
But if this petition gets 500,000 signatures we can get federal laws preventing rapists from suing for custody/visitation of their victim’s children.
You guys accomplished Operation Fluffy Chicken
How about putting in an effort to Operation We’re Finally Taking Rape Seriously?3,175 notes and only 1, 232 signatures. Fucking hell, tumblr.

Yeah, that’s definitely a problem. Here they’ll just tell you that they don’t have room. But there are several shelters in my area and a couple different animal rescue/re-homing non-profits.
Probably one of the steps to the plan should be to keep a list of contact numbers for all the animal services in your area.
1. Keep small animal carrier, can of cat food, and old towel in trunk at all times.
2. Rescue strays/small animals when encountered and transport them to appropriate animal services center or veterinarian if possible.
(Of course, don’t be a hero, and abort mission if animal seems even slightly dangerous/aggressive and call animal control)
3. Keep animal control number in glovebox at all times.
(I just keep on finding myself in situations were an animal, usually an injured cat, is hanging out near my home or work place and I’m the only one who’s going to do anything about it.)
Anyone else have any thoughts?
This is so dear and cute and amazing. A story made up by a 6 year old :).
Enjoy.
