…okay you have to see that that is not convincing

source?

Is the premise even true? More people are becoming athiest than ever

I don’t think anything like this has really been the case for a long time. How long ago was this?

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1113 this will fix it, so meh.

This issue tracker addresses everything you want resolved.

but:

1. they’re separate
2. yes
3. no.

Two, my main is beehaw but I use this account when they’re down.

I don’t think soul has a good enough definition to say whether or not it does exist.

Soul kinda just means nothing to me.

I think this is more of a problem with capitalism, than a problem with breeding being fundamentally wrong, we’re incentivized to breed as poorly as possible, it’s a race to the bottom.

That being said, I think some animals are bred pretty carefully, definitely not dogs and cats, but certain insect breeding operations are pretty ethical just because being ethical with them is insanely easy.

What i’m really dying for is RES style keyboard shortcuts

I had it setup so nicely, i would use c and v to go up and down threads, and shift+c to collapse things and open expandos

It was honestly insanely convenient, and is by far the biggest problem with lemmy for me. Very willing to pay for this.

I also think that the hobby allows them to be ambassadors for their kind, people often assume tarantulas and snakes are monsters that are out to get you, one question i’ve heard people ask someone holding a snake is “Why isn’t it attacking you”

People have these insanely perverse ideas about these animals that go away when they discover they’re actually quite delightful.

I agree, I just think it’s very unintuitive, we live with aliens.

See my other comment, I highly recommend hognoses!

I recommend trying a snake out, specifically a hognose, they’re extremely cute, and EXTREMELY easy to care for

Yeah, I think it’s really case by case in the animal kingdom, we have to avoid anthropomorphizing everything.

Certain animals don’t really roam as part of their lifestyle, most tarantulas are ambush predators, if you put a tarantula into a hole and regularly give it food, it doesn’t dream of the outside world where it can roam freely, roaming freely is its worst nightmare because that’s how it gets exposed to predators… tarantulas find a hole where they constantly get food and you can presume based on how they live in the wild that they’ve found the best hole ever.

They also show clear signs of stress when they are stressed, and they show less of those in captivity than in the wild.

That’s my argument for tarantulas anyway.

I think the ethics really depends on the specific animal, most reptiles and tarantulas are fine in my book.

All pets?

I think owning a tarantula, for example, is perfectly ethical, because of the way tarantus live.

I’m an argentine tegu person.

I can’t wait to get my black and white!
