Update: To all you assholes out there who keep asking why he hasn’t went to a vet…here ya go…I don’t have a vet. I don’t have a Walmart. I don’t have a fast food joint. I don’t even have a fucking redlight. I live in RURAL AMERICA where even the adults don’t run to the doctor unless something has been cut off, or falling off. This isn’t the time for lectures. Most big dogs are much better after a night of rest. I gave him that, and here we are. If you knew me at all, you’d just stop right now. Atticus will turn 11 on the 11th of November. If you know anything about rural life, that’s a long time for a GS to live, where he freely roams. He’s had a great life and I’ve taken big-time care of ‘em. He’s not a little pansy purse dog. He eats the best of the best and has been loved on by me, probably more than 10 dogs get, from other folks. Now, for my real friends on here: Atticus let T-bone pick him up. We’ve made a soft bed for him in the carport. I have dog steroids on hand, and have administered them last night and today. He’s no longer panting, but he also has still not been able to get up, nor has he tried. He’s not whimpering, either. I’m gonna let him rest and keep checking on him. 💯

NEW FOI INFO - The CPS admits its lawyers ruled that the obstetric records in the Lucy Letby case largely could NOT assist the defence, so withheld them. Numerous obstetricians post-trial have pointed to the vital nature of these notes. (1/8)

Halloween artificial cobweb material: It may be a bit of fake fun for you, but it's a very real and terrifying death for them. And it's not only birds. Last year I had my first call of the season of a hedgehog trapped in this horrific fake 'cobweb', made especially for gullible halloweeners to spread over their greenery, trapping all unsuspecting birds, insects and mammals, including hedgehogs. The fine synthetic fibers are difficult for animals to see and can quickly wrap around their legs, spines, and neck, leading to severe injuries. When a hedgehog struggles to free herself the web tightens, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds. These constriction injuries often lead to permanent damage or death. Unfortunately the call was from Manchester, so all I could do was talk them through getting the poor creature to a rescue. Clearly she had been trapped there for at least one night, and her struggles had pulled the strong nylon strands so tightly that one of her toes had been amputated. Can you imagine the pain and the sheer terror? And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless. Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted to the point of near death, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive. If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, please take it down now. Please don't be conned by the greedy makers and sellers of this rubbish into hurting defenceless animals.

seems like it's not really a "genital preference" at all then 🤔
