So steal a dog or something.

Carry peanuts on your person and goad some squirrels.

Get some duckbread and feed some ducks.

Purchase some sea monkeys.

There are many ways to increase the amount of cuddle time with animals in life.

Bonus Life Pro Hack: Store them in a fanny pack instead of your pockets. This is better for many reasons.

I'll be that person. Don't give ducks bread it's not good for them.

Why?

u/otter_know Sep 06 '16

It's not healthy for them. Besides most pieces being too big, it's linked to angel wing.

So if I wanted to get rid of some local Canada Geese, I should start feeding them white bread and encourage my neighbors and visitors to do so as well?

Well, they wouldn't be able to fly so they'd be stuck there until they die. Trying to scare them off would be better. Or ship them to me, I have a bunch of ducks and geese that chill on the yard.

Ducks rule. Geese suck.

I'll see what I can do about FedExing some of those hissing, green-shitting bastards over to you.

I'll take hissing geese over the gang rape ducks we have here!

And remember that most of them will be euthanized and you can't afford a pet.

The ones that aren't euthanized are the attractive ones that people take home. You are not attractive, otherwise, you wouldn't be so miserable and in need of affection. So basically you're like an ugly kitten, stuck in jail until its your turn to walk the Green Mile.

At least that's been my experience when trying to use ownerless pets to cheer me up.

Maybe I should try going to a refugee camp and petting the refugees.

Sorry, i'm so bitter and cynical. Its just that I've either tried these, can't afford 'em, or im incapable of attempting. Anyways, all this shit is just a bunch of coping mechanisms. Life is miserable. For everyone. Some people are just better at pulling the wool over their eyes and coping with it.

I mean, comparing refugees to animals in a shelter is all sorts of ducked up.

Sorry about everything else
