    I subscribe to this community because it is cute to see pictures of them, but they are an absolute pest over here. In my state it’s illegal to own them as a pet, and they are highly regulated for use byr like magicians.

    In other states large numbers survive and landowners are obliged to kill them, with recommendations for poisoning, fumigating, or shooting all being recommended in different circumstances.

    Not cute.

        !snakes@lemmy.world ;) they are cute too! Also from my quick check of this instance (recommended on my instance), https://falconry.party. Bunny enjoyers be warned, falconry.party has pictures of dead rabbits as falcons hunt them. !snakes@lemmy.world has no pictures of snake kills (both ones committed by snakes, and ones happening to snakes) yet and I doubt things like will be posted there for awhile. I’m pretty sure the latter would be very unappreciated over there.

        In retrospect it might be a little weird that my two most favored animals have a predator-prey relationship ^^; and now that I am trying to appreciate birds it’s getting even worse haha
