(Unless it's now a standard thing for websites to put up these statements and I've just never noticed one before? Just seems so... odd)

It's a UK legal requirement.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/section/54/enacted

(7)If the organisation has a website, it must—
(a)publish the slavery and human trafficking statement on that website, and
(b)include a link to the slavery and human trafficking statement in a prominent place on that website’s homepage.

Oh wow, is that new? I've been out the UK for about 3 1/2 years now and it seems the internet requirements have changed so much then.

e: ah it even says 2015 on it. I wonder how many sites actually comply, I'm tempted to test a bunch...

The dog is a Hershele Ostropoler figure tragically rendered inert by the comfiness of the working class amenities symbolized through Papa Fraser's recliner, and thus why he refuses to fight the ruling class.

wait so killing living things is okay if you do it fast? I have some exciting new precedent to tell my nearest county judge about.

I'm gonna need to fax over a lot of white text on black background briefs. Probably should sent it to every office every day six or sixty times until I see murderers released.

That story just seems hella targeted to own the vague idea of a millienial with Real Stories of What It’s Like To Rear Animals

I’m a millenial vegetarian that knows gently caress all about birds but I work in animal health atm and if a kitten or puppy, especiallly a quiet one, gets super vocal for no reason, that means « oh god please help please help now »

I’m p sure she’s not a good raiser of these animals, who I strongly suspect are not loving pigeons

The bird probably chocked with their own food or was already ill. In my experience wild baby birds are extremely difficult to raise and the chances they will die in the following days are really high (I was a dumb teenager who thought was doing good by picking birds that had fallen from their nests). If you ever find any, better take it with someone who is an expert and knows how to feed them, and with what and can tell if the bird has a disease.

I'm also 100% sure this person already has toxoplasmosis.

Don't eat city pigeons. However, breeding your own should be fine. Squab is a delicacy.

"How can this video that is quite clearly made as a threat, as well as to inspire hate and violence, that uses our list of journalists possibly be due to our list? In fact all this violent imagery is not even violent at all so even if they did use our list it's not a problem anyway."

Most of the time, don't pick it up at all unless it looks obviously hurt or is in immediate danger. A lot of people think they're being helpful by picking up fledglings in their pre-flight, hopping around phase when the birds are totally fine and being watched over by their parents.

That thread was the last thing I read in D and D with any regularity. It was always good for a hit of about 50 posts in a day that would just absofuckinglutely drive me insane.
