I'll probably have to do something like that and just hope I'm not getting scammed.
I got a couple UVB lights and I luckily just happened to buy a heat bulb right beforehand. But ideally you should be replacing the UVB every 6 months because it will burn out slowly over time. And unfortunately the turtle I have can live for another 20 years lol

Bruh I actually don't know what to do.
My turtle takes a heat lamp and UVB that is now banned.
I could get away with it bringing him outside for a couple hours a day to get the UVB but how the hell am I going to keep him warm and basking indoors? Should I just try to make an outdoor enclosure? Would that even be safe with hail and wind?
Bans are retarded. Butt out of my animals if you don't know dick about them.

Holy FUUUUUUUCK
us dept of energy just fucking BANNED UVB and heat lamps!
What this means is that reptile owners are FUCKED. Heat lamps are required source of external heat for most reptiles. UVB is required to to keep reptiles healthy and bones growing correctly.
Y'all snake owners are gonna have to bring your snakes outside for like 4-5h a day... Rip if you live where winter exists. And windows block most UV that herps need so fucked on that end.

#ShelterShunday yeah that's the hashtag I'm going with
Figured we'll start with LA county shelter because I just heard they are nearing 200%!!!! overpopulation
The local gov tried to push for no kill way too soon. Basically, any dog that they are planning to euthanize gets 3 weeks notice, so rescues and shit can pull them. They've recently reduced it to 72h notice.
I'll be honest if I ran the place, I'd hire vets and tech to euth from longest stay until I get back to 100% capacity. Regardless of how cute. 200% capacity with the same amount of space and workers is not OK.

There used to be only 18 individual black-footed ferrets in the wild. A mix of a specialized breeding program and reintroduction, maintaining and restoring habitat, and even cloning one male helped get that number to over 1000 today.
However captive breeding has to be really supervised, and lineages are registered. When people get their hands on shit, they enjoy breeding in mutations and inbreeding to get more of this shit that wouldn't help in the wild.
First image is a wild ferret. The rest is shit we did, and why we can't just let out the PetSmart ferrets into the woods.

Imagine owning a share of this cow.
This is a Nelore beef cattle, a breed known for their adaptability and are very resistant to high temperatures and have natural resistance to various parasites and diseases.
The breed was created in Brazil, and now 80% of their beef cattle are Nelore cattle. They originated from cattle brought from India, and the first Nelore breed registry was created in 1975.
Now THIS fucker, her name is Viatina-19 FIV Mara Imóveis. She has multiple owners, like shareholders of a company. 1/3rd of her ownership was sold of for 1.4 MILLION, which has thus made her even more expensive with her worth increasing to 4.3 million. She is the most expensive cow in the world.

Is no one else talking about this?
TL;DR -
>man interrogated for 17h straight to get him to confess he killed his father
>Lied and told him the father was found dead with multiple stab wounds
>included not allowing him to have his medications or go to a hospital
>they brought HIS DOG into the room and told him the dog would have to be euthanized
>They take the man out on a car ride telling him they were going to a hospital; brought him to his home instead and pressured him to say where he killed his father
>later cops found the father was alive and visiting a friend
>never told this to the man, left him in interrogation room where he attempted suicide
>brought him to an asylum, where he still doesn't know that his dog and dad are still alive
>they dropped the dog off at a shelter instead of with family, the shelter was given 0 info but were able to track owner down thanks to the dog being chipped
Gotta back the blue :blobcatpolicedonut:
