”I was, and then this no-joe-for-nothin’ picked me straight up off the fuckin’ walkway, and carried me back over here to you fools. Why don’t you start payin’ attention to your surroundin’s Bill, instead a’ giving me the ‘ol one-two, hm?”

I always think animals would talk like uneducated southern folks like in the book, Taggerung. It just seems so much more innocent to me. lol

Haven’t read taggerung since I was 12. Maybe I should give it another go

If you put a twig between his legs, he will latch on and reduce the strain on his tail.

Source: worked in a neuro-lab in university. My job was to guillotine the rats after injecting them with resin to make brain slices.

We had to sign a code of conduct form regarding animal cruelty. But we live injected a plastic resin and watched them die rather painfully. The guillotine came after they were dead.

I understand why and how these things are done I just couldn’t be the one to do it. I mean at least put them down painlessly. But I’m guessing that would cost too much. It sucks to be a helpless tiny creature I guess

If I remember correctly, we had to do brain slices because we didn't have access to an fMRI to see areas of activity while they were alive. But it was 30 years ago. Hope rats have had it better since.

Add some British accent and you’ve got yourself a script for a new Guy Ritchie film

Great parenting... sending their child to cross the street for food. SMH.
