Familiar fight

[gwenniepop]

The entry is very messy and has tearstains on it

Todd Skynner, how could you?!! Just because you're a coyote, you don't get to attack other animals when you feel like it!

[Edited about two hours later; the cross out is bare and the original can still be somewhat read]

I'm sorry that I accused Todd, it was a wild coyote. Mr. Covington promised he would look for it. Tas is hurt she can't fly for a bit going to be okay. She's got little bandages I won't be in classes today.

But we definitely fed him this morning.

[longcons]

Not even Honey Nut Cheerios can hold him. Sad.

[nothalfplaid]

We're going to have to switch to Special K.

[gwenniepop]

no, I Ive never seen why would a wild coyote be on the path with us, she was just flying a little ahead, she wasn't in the woods

[nothalfplaid]

Because dumbasses feed them and they become acclimated to humans.

[taxation_is_theft]

I take offense to that.

[longcons]

Stop feeding coyotes.

[taxation_is_theft]

but sometimes they look hungry and lonely.

[longcons]

You're facilitating learned helplessness.

[taxation_is_theft]

So it’s safe to say that Mildred didn’t attack this animal Bc Mildred has learned helplessness and can’t hunt for her food anymore, right?

[longcons]

Obviously, it was Todd.

[taxation_is_theft]

p sure Todd has learned helplessness too tho


No offense Todd.

[longcons]

That [...] could not be further from the truth, but [...] Stop feeding Todds.

[taxation_is_theft]

Fine. I’ll stop feeding the Todds.

[longcons]

Thank you. [...] It ruins the challenge of stealing snacks.

[taxation_is_theft]

I don’t feed birds Bc they’re unsanitary af so your challenge was always safe anyway

[longcons]

Hitchcock's first draft was about ornithosis.

[useyournoggin]

Feeding coyotes leads to more attacks because it disrupts and shrinks their territory, encouraging the pack to stay near the source of food (humans). So instead of travelling across a larger territory, they're all right here, still wild animals, still ready to attack smaller prey animals and stupid humans.

[taxation_is_theft]

Coyotes don’t attack humans unless provoked.

[useyournoggin]

That's why I said stupid humans.

But you know what they do attack unprovoked which is way more relevant to this conversation? Pets. Aren't you supposed to be good at outdoorsy stuff? Don't feed the wildlife is Common Sense 101.

[taxation_is_theft]

ok that was my bad.

[useyournoggin]

Just cut it out and we'll call it good.

[taxation_is_theft]

Fine

But am I still allowed to talk to Mildred. She’s real good at listening.

[gwenniepop]

What? Who's Mildred?

[nothalfplaid]

I acknowledge your offense and do not apologize.
