Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

O %100 agree with that. I ran a private rescue with my own money for over a decade, and I have seen shit that makes me think humanity is better off going extinct, but I have also seen the good side of it as well. It's the extremes that unfortunately ruin it. Euthanasia of an animal should always be an option vs trying to put something through hell for months only have it die anyways. We're supposed to their caretakers and guardians, yet so many will choose their own selfishness because they don't want to do the right thing and help the animal pass peacefully. Conservation at least does this and helps the animals..but a lot of people see just some rich dude killing a lion...not that they killed a lion that literally was going to starve in the next year, not that the 100k+ to hunt the animal paid for keeping the sanctuary running and pochers at bay, not that it helps a poverished village that exists on the reservation access to food and water...they just see some rich dentist posing on Facebook...
Ooooooh, wow. Thank you for your service. For real, I imagine the animals part was relatively easy compared to dealing with the humans.
Humans is what made me stop. A lot of people who own animals are terrible.
