40% of Mormon missionaries leave their church after their missions.

Don’t turn them away. Talk to them with kindness and compassion, and understand that they grew up as victims of a cult. Show them there is so much more to the world than the what the LDS church tells them.

Yes, rat experimentation is the cornerstone of modern medicone, but that doesn’t make it any less fucked up.

Something can be equally good for people yet completely inhumane. It doesn’t cancel each other out.

Do I think we should stop experimenting on rats? Absolutely not. But we can try to at least improve the general well-being of these rats and stop deliberately torture them. Peopes have done sleep deprivation experiments where a rat is forced to stay awake or fall in the water and start to drown.

The fucked up part are the experiments, not the euthanasia.

Rats have to be killed because we don’t know if they will continue to suffer after the painful experiments done on them. They can’t be let out either because it can harm the general rat population. Companies don’t give enough of a shit about keeping rats alive in rat retirement homes either.

Walk? In this suburban hell?

Too soon for this meme format.

For those who don’t know, the woman petting the fox committed suicide a few days ago. She had ran a fox rescue farm and saved 4000 foxes, many of which were rescued from being bred for fur in inhumane conditions.

She passed away after years of harassment and accusations of abuse for ‘not doing enough’. Redditors were piling on her in a hate sub and that was one of the final nails in the coffin. People criticized her for not hiring more staff to help or expanding her operations.

This was her life’s work. She was autistic, and funneled every bit of dedication into saving as many as she could. She had a special bond with her foxes and a way of speaking to them that brings out their giggles. Not everyone can do that, and with Mikaela’s passing, her foxes will now have to make it through without her.
