Animals

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

:shock: Would have taken me forever if I didn't cheat by reading the comments.
Spoiler:

I was sure that it was a 2-animal illusion. They look like they're competing. Just an odd looking leg wasn't even on my radar. "Panda knees"

"Where the fuck do you live?"

About five miles west of Nathrop, Colorado:

Mountain lion attacks man from behind while he and his wife relaxed in hot tub

:o

Okay, but I'm still going to worry more about folliculitis and legionellosis in a rental's hot tub.
Maybe the lion had an affinity towards poached meat.
It was like corned beef in a slow cooker.
I hate to admit it but my first thought was of a cartoon and the mountain lion starts to add chopped carrots, celery, and seasoning to make a stew.....
We know what you do on Saturday mornings 😁

I remember that you posted about the recovery, but don't recall seeing the full story.
Emmanuel the TikTok-famous emu doesn't have bird flu, caretaker says
“We believe this all stemmed from stress," his caretaker, Taylor Blake, tweeted over the weekend.

Oct. 24, 2022

... "Emmanuel Todd Lopez tested negative for Avian Influenza at 2 separate labs, swab, fecal and blood," Blake tweeted. "He does not have the virus, and is not actively shedding the virus."

... Blake had said on Twitter that the virus killed 99% of the birds on her farm, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, female black swans and other emus popular with its TikTok followers....

"We believe this all stemmed from stress," Blake tweeted. "Emus are highly susceptible to stress. He was incredibly overwhelmed by the state coming in and euthanizing our flock. (Although it was necessary, it was still very stressful on him) He stopped eating the day they depopulated."
:(
Blake tweeted an update from Emmanuel's perspective Monday.

"I’m getting stronger each day, friends!" the tweet reads. "I am now able to lift myself up and reposition myself on my own. This is a BIG step, because before, I would just fall over. My neck is starting to straighten out and I am drinking lots of water on my own! Thank you for the prayers."
:clap:

It's quite a story. She got Emanuel a girlfriend shortly before the bird flu who didn't make it and Emanuel's recovery has been remarkable. She's rescued many different animals.
I've been following her on Twitter.

Farm animals are not dogs. Most of those animals don't know where the food stops and the farmer begins.

Then again, maulings by miniature cows, goats, deer, bison (?), and emus and other big birds are unheard of, and pigs extremely rare. Dogs otoh . . . :P

You must not have met the attack geese.
And pigs can be very dangerous, for example, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pig-attack ... etts-farm/
