One time I saved a frog. A little tree frog. It was burned up. Had a little gash on its side. It was a bad area. So I picked it up. I poured cool water on it. Picked the gravel and stuff out and off it. Then I set it down in the grass. The only problem was I accidentally set it down in an ant pile. The ants swarmed it. I said NOOO. I tried to save it but they were on it so quickly. I just stomped him and put him out of his misery so Atleast he wouldn’t have to be eatin Alive
When I was in elementary school, we were playing kickball. Someone kicked the ball way out my way, and I ran to grab it. On my way back, I noticed something that broke my little heart- I had stepped on this beautiful, big praying mantis who was standing in the grass.
I recall being devastated. I felt so bad. My wonderful teacher saw me upset, and calmed me down. She decided that we could make this a sort of class project. The mantis was alive, just a little mangled- injuries which would probably heal. So this mantis, named "Manny" by myself, was taken into a little hamster cage into our classroom. We spent about 2 weeks nursing the little fella back to health. All of my classmates loved him and they were happy that I found and saved him.
After those two weeks, Manny appeared to be healed up. So we had a small field trip to some woods near the school, where we took Manny and released him into some nice, thick bushes. I recall feeling sad that I had to say goodbye- I had begun to see him as a pet... no, a friend. So I was sad... but then I was happy when I saw him moving around, even doing a little hop/fly to a neighboring bush. And that was the last we saw of him.
I think this was a fantastic lesson. It taught us responsibility: we had a system for who would feed/clean the cage/etc., so that each student was contributing to Manny's recovery. It taught us a sort of moral lesson. Everyone had empathy and compassion for this mantis, an insect! (My entire class was White). This was also the first time I experienced a form of "loss", it taught me how to say goodbye, how to let someone/something go when the time comes. It hurts, but it is the right thing to do.
These are the kinds of lessons that no faggot schoolboard member could come up with in a curriculum.
You tried. 🤷♂️
That's horrible. I'm sad now. Poor frog :[
Yea. I like animals a lot. The only animals that I want to die slow deaths are cats
Ants are M A S S I V E assholes.
One of the most Nightmarish moments of my life was this kitty I tried to rescue you that was super feral, impossible to approach.
I quit chasing / luring it until one day O found its carcass.
Did I say carcass? The little creature managed to meow. It was still alive.
So a fight to save it started.
And.were. Coming.out.of.everywhere.
The poor thing was being eaten inside out. Ants out of its mouth, eye sockets, ears.. Ants ants ants everywhere.
I gave it a warm bath. And hundreds of ants were still coming out.
I wrapped it in a towel and sat under the sun waiting for the kitty to dry off until... It turned rock hard.
It was gone.
I know that 1 thousand ants arw worth more than one kitty, I know that maybe the kitty had some other problem prior to getting attacked, i know ants have to eat and its only natural but fuck them.
Pissing is natural too, so I pee in their homes and drawn the sons of bitches.
Fuck ants.
We are lucky they are not 10 times bigger. (relatively speaking, to a kitty they are cockroach sized?).
Horrific!
I’m just thankful it was a cat and not an animal that doesn’t suck
