    Are you sure you aren't conflating seals with sea lions?

    They thought that they had killed it.

    They were wrong.

    I'm not entirely sold on me getting possib offensive junk mail as a prank on someone else. I don't read my own junk mail so I'm sure as hell not going to deliver it to a stranger.

    Also I do hope all those people who called or moved the package were real and not his friends.

    There is a very high chance that, knowing about all this in the first place, said person has seen this video, and now knows that his neighbors have gotten this stuff.

    And it's not like they can ask around to see if anyone happened to notice if they got a fake postcard about them registering to go to next furry convention.

    Apparently there is an appliance manufacturer that is unironically called Smeg.

    That's for the females. Adult males can weigh more than a ton.

    They're already fed enough. Except then they overpopulate and the juveniles strand on beaches.

    How friendly are sea lions compared to seals? Seals seem very similar to dogs in their friendly and inquisitive nature.

    They range from friendly to not friendly at all. They're a wild predator.

    I would also not characterize seals as friendly either. It depends very much on context.

    Males are quite territorial, females get real cranky if you mess with their pups, or if they think you're going to mess with your pups, and the males also get really touchy if they think you're going to mess with their wimmin - those same males that are about the size of a small car. Even if they were mostly friendly, I wouldn't want to get near things that big.

    For some reason, I have the impression that sea lions are more like bears than dogs.
    Happy enough to chill out so long as you keep your distance. But if you get close they're more than capable of ruining your day.

    This is based on nothing beyond some old nature documentaries and a wariness of any wild animal that is accurately described as being the size of a car.

    That's why I'm afraid of motor vehicles. They are driven by wild animals, and are the size of a car. Much faster than a sea lion or a bear, too.

    Yeah it really doesn't matter what kind of wild animal it is, you always have to be wary that it is going to fuck you up. Cats and dogs are technically considered domesticated animals and they will still fuck you up.

    Yeah Pitbulls take all of the shit but any large dog that wants to fuck your day is going to fuck up your day. The really fun part? This also applies to small dogs. A Corgi deciding that you need to be brought down is actually a problem. You're probably not going to die but it's going to hurt badly.

    Cats are both simultaneously less of a threat than dogs and almost more of a threat because they are literal monsters.

    That being said they're all fuzzies and I want to give them all the pets.

    Undomesticated animals though? You don't fuck with them. Just, don't.

    Even domesticated animals. A horse that wants to fuck your shit up can literally end your life. As can a cow.

    A cat will scratch the crap out of you, but the infection is the worst you need to worry about there unless you're small enough it can go for the spine-severing bite (e.g. toddlers).

    I see people cozying up to wild animals and go "get me the fuck away from that thing, it could wreck my shit."

    I mean the actual issues leading to sea lion boom/bust cycles are climate change and a lack of predators. But I just think it’s dumb how much time and effort and money goes into protecting a species which doing A-OK despite us.

    https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3042991/china-flight-systems-jammed-pig-farms-african-swine-fever
    A Chinese pig farm’s attempt to ward off drones – said to be spreading African swine fever – jammed the navigation systems of a number of planes flying overhead.

    The farm, in northeastern China, was ordered last month to turn in an unauthorised anti-drone device installed to prevent criminal gangs dropping items infected with the disease, according to online news portal Thepaper.cn.

    The device came to light after a series of flights to and from Harbin airport complained about losing GPS signals while flying over Zhaozhou county in Heilongjiang in late October. In some cases, the ADS-B tracking technology – which determines an aircraft’s position via satellite navigation – failed.
    Chinese state media reported last week that gangs were exploiting the African swine fever crisis by deliberately spreading the disease by using drones to drop infected items on to pig farms. The farmers are then forced to sell meat cheaply to the gangs, who then sell it on as healthy stock, according to China Comment magazine, which is affiliated to state news agency Xinhua.
    In more common cases, according to the magazine, the criminals spread rumours about the presence of the virus to achieve a cheap purchase price.
    That is some unbelievably crazy shit.
