30 Facts That Might Make You Think “Well, That’s Enough Internet For One Day”, As Shared By Folks In This Online Group That animals get abused by sadistic a******s every day and there’s nothing I can do about it.

And I don’t just mean food industry horror, I also mean casual abuse of pets, abuse by sadistic people of strays for pleasure, out of boredom, neglect of pets, horses being starved to death. Old animals being abandoned, etc.

The animal rights laws are way too weak even in the strictest of countries in my opinion. I can’t unknow it and I can’t do anything about it and if I think about too much I can’t handle it

They are vile people ; two of whom will think twice about being cruel to animals ever again ; let's say I have no regrets and would happily find them again and they would be sorry - again. For a while at least.

    30 Facts That Might Make You Think “Well, That’s Enough Internet For One Day”, As Shared By Folks In This Online Group There's something like 2% of American prairie left and it's still shrinking. A couple weeks ago Rockford airport was just given permission to expand over Illinois' best and nearly last prairie.

    Native prairie species sequester carbon FAR MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN TREES and support more biodiversity. Not to mention their ability to stop erosion.

    Not only are we destroying prairie for human expansion, but we also went too far with planting trees and fire suppression, so areas that should be prairie and savanah are just planted with trees because we just assume that the more trees the better.

    Don't even get me started about people's "wildflower gardens" that help very few insects and animals as compared to actual native plants.

    Check out [The Native Habitat Project](https://www.nativehabitatproject.com/) for more information.


    Edit: Rockford Airport, not O'Hare

It only made contact for about a microsecond, but it was enough time for it to lay eggs. After they hatched they started eating his eye from the inside and he was starting to go blind until a doctor finally figured out what was wrong.

    Just imagine that, getting your eye eaten from the inside and losing your sight all because a fly *very* briefly made contact with you. Ever since I learned about this I get really paranoid when there is a fly around my face because of the fact that this could possibly happen to me.

    You may be confusing "repairing a torn perineum" with the husband stitch. Women often tear during childbirth and are stitched back up to repair normal function. The husband stitch was a horrible practice wherein women were stitched up too much for the purposes of "tightening" the l area for the husband's sexual pleasure. This may still go on in other countries, but in the US it is not a legitimate procedure.

    I haven't researched it or anything, but I don't really understand how a "husband stitch" would work in the first place. Do stitches cause regular (undamaged) flesh to fuse together? It would seem normal to stitch torn flesh back together in order to properly heal, but that would just get it back to "normal", not change the size of the opening to something smaller than before the birth. Am I missing something? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    This happened to me. Without going into a long story, I had a traumatic injury to my perineum. The doctor stitched me up, and the result was scar tissue that made the opening so much smaller that I will now need reconstructive surgery if I ever want to have pain free sex again.

    No, the husband stitch is basically an old wives tale at this point. And age doesn't really play a part in if you tear during childbirth or not. It depends on the person and the delivery. My sister had a teen pregnancy and she was fine, I have birth in my late thirties and I had to be cut so I didn't tear.

    Sometimes parts are so beat up down there its hard to stitch it up nicely. So not on purpose my fist was overstitched, it stretched a bit, obviously ripped during second but in general a better birth so second healed nice. A friend had to get recut and restitched as she was unable to have sex, but again, it was a messy birth.
