That’s pretty terrifying. You can see the somewhat muted apprehension on his face mixed with a hope that he will be out of it soon.

Of course, I’m putting human emotions onto an animal, but that’s just because I can easily see myself in such a situation where I’m politely asked to step into a room and face a wall for a brief moment…

Faydaikin@beehaw.org on 18 Mar 09:39 next collapse

Animals experience the same emotions as we do.

It’s just their understanding of the situation that might be lacking.

tetris11@lemmy.ml on 18 Mar 09:44 collapse

My second paragraph was mostly just to excuse myself from mapping human emotions onto animal facial expressions.

He genuinely might be having the time of his life but we can’t read him properly.

Yea my brain definitely forgot what anesthetize meant for like 3-4 seconds when I first opened the picture and it made me sad… Then I was like wait no that’s different. Then I was like but yea you could probably use this for the other thing too. Then I remembered the video youtube recommended to me about some guy that built his own gas chamber for cats out of a cooler and got sad again.

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works on 18 Mar 09:57 next collapse

They do this for a lot of small animals. My vet has a little cage with an adjustable top you can push down to reduce the volume, that they use for small animals

I wouldn’t call cactus fruit particularly exotic.

I typed this and then remembered that there are people who don’t live in a desert.

nichtburningturtle@feddit.org on 19 Mar 09:30 collapse

As someone who doesn’t live in a desert. How do you process these, without having to deal with needles in your hands for the next few days?

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works on 19 Mar 19:05 collapse

Pair of leather gloves and some time, there aren’t too many needles on the fruits themselves so you can just kinda pull them out, alternatively you use a knives.

Vet med is like this because they don’t really make specialized equipment for every animal. Was on a tour behind the scenes at a zoo and they used a traffic cone to administer anesthesia to a seal.

They don’t make masks for anything besides dogs and cats and making tiny masks and putting them on small animals would be incredibly difficult.

… So, if this thing isn’t a dedicated small animal anesthetiser, what am I looking at?

tiramichu@lemm.ee on 18 Mar 12:33 next collapse

A small animal anethetiser which can fit a variety of small animals, not just one :)

dustyData@lemmy.world on 18 Mar 14:15 collapse

They are vet masks. They are generic and come on different sizes. The largest one can fit several small animals. The smallest ones are for cats and tiny dogs. I think the largest one they make are for horses and cattle. But they have special fittings for straps. This ones are rubber ring ended so they are easier to use to makeshift a tiny gas chamber.

We used a rigged cookie jar in my lab before small animal surgery Haha

AppearanceBoring9229@sh.itjust.works on 20 Mar 17:45 collapse

It seems like something that could be improved by 3d printing.

I’m guessing that if a vet has to assist several animals of the same species maybe it could be possible to get some kind of mask that could fit most of them.

Although I’m not sure if that’s something that would help or maybe it will just be more cumbersome.

Out of pure ignorance: what is racist about that comment? I don’t understand, could you possibly explain it to me so I know better?

TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee on 18 Mar 19:19 next collapse

As best as I can tell, and it’s a bit of a stretch, the implication may be at “my mans” stems from AVE, and therefore asking if people talk like that translates to being racist.

I don’t agree with the thought process or conclusion, but that’s the best I got

Halosheep@lemm.ee on 18 Mar 20:28 collapse

What the other guy said. This is definitely a common phrase with AAVE, thus, asking the question, “do people really talk like this”, would imply that the asker is considering the poster to be inferior in some way. The racist piece being that it’s pinpointing a dialect spoken, typically, by a specific race and calling it dumb.

I was sort of being sarcastic but lemmy users are a special sort and definitely can’t read that.

grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org on 18 Mar 21:01 collapse

I read it more as ignorant and rude than racist. Like, if I said “all y’all ought to do blah” and was questioned on it, I’d assume the questioner just hadn’t been exposed to folks with that dialect.

Or like how my brother would make fun of people with a Boston accent while he was a tourist in Boston, getting directions from someone with a Boston accent. Ignorant and rude.

Of course, I’m white AF and my primary exposure to AAVE is online, so I might be totally missing subtext/context/supertext. Also my brother is an asshole.

Yes. See post for example
