Do you know how fucking HARD this is!? Turtles die of old age, naturally, that’s why they live so long. They rarely get sick and don’t have illnesses such as cancer or even the common cold, naturally occurring. So, for there to be turtle specific herpes……..it’s not a good sign.
This is really sad
So I googled this and apparently these turtles carry the herpes virus latently- that is theyre infected but they don’t have symptoms or problems. Stress is what causes these viruses to pop back up and lots of things cause stress. Even the wrong microbial environment can fuck this up. Human activity puts a huge amount of stress on these animals and their environment and as a result their immune system cannot keep the virus in check. We’re exhausting these animals into disease.
Yesterday I went to buy some yarn and so you know how annoying it is when fucking people put those stupid bullshit “don’t use this, wool is murder” PETA stickers on the label?
First of all, stop defacing stock in someone’s store. You’re not clever or saving the planet or anything. You’re making it hard for customers to shop and see the info they need on the label (yardage, weight, dye lot)… You’re making employees spend hours peeling the damn things off, and in some cases, you’re causing damage to the label and or yarn itself. That means loss to the company, which affects employees who probably make minimum wage, you shit bags. You want to make change happen? Contact corporate, you fuckhead. That’s where decisions are made.
Second of all, wool is not murder. Are you fucking stupid? (Obviously the answer is yes). It’s a fucking haircut for a sheep. They’ve been domesticated so long that if we don’t sheer them, it’s bad. Yes, some sheep don’t live in ideal conditions. Got a problem with that? Going to a yarn store and putting stickers on things isn’t going to change it or the minds of customers. For fuck’s sake, you absolute cockwomble, go to the yarn companies. Make them use wool providers that use humane conditions for their yarn, like A LOT OF YARN COMPANIES DO.
And third of all.
You. You precious, empty-headed little shitnugget. You complete and total sawdust-for-brains.
You put your fucking stickers all over acrylic yarn.
There’s no fucking wool in there. It’s all synthetic fiber. Basically, it’s plastic.
