The real question to me is what happens with animals in the wild?

Nature videos exist and in my area you can go to the county fair and watch cows be born….

Thanks that's very helpful. Especially the part about county fairs—can't get much more "in the wild" than that!

Okay. What advice would you not snark about?

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com -3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

None. I'm asking for information, not advice.

You're a douche. You act in bad faith and don't respect the social contract. Kindly fuck yourself.
