Raising ducks. I love it. They're disgusting creatures, but great.
How are they disgusting? When I see them they look quite cute.
I had a friend as a kid who had ducks as and I can answer this. They poop. Everywhere. A lot. Also they're loud as hell sometimes.
Aside from their propensity to gang-rape, ducks are pretty cool. I’m not being edgy. Look it up.
I think you do transfer too much! Lots of animals have a mating ritual that involves overpowering a mating partner. It’s not pleasant to look at, but then neither is watching a chimp rip an unborn fawn out of a deer, while the deer is still alive. Nature is nature and there are lots of situations where there is direct violence between males and females as part of mating:
My neighbor has ducks and they are indeed disgusting and charmingly cute. I've seen one get up to follow me for food and she was sitting in a large pile of her waste. Also duck rape is awful. Some have died from the duck gang rapes I was told :(
Drive by the duck farms in North Jersey and get back to me.
