I helped my gf once take care of a few orphaned kittens ("fostering") and every part of it was disgusting (this was done in an apartment). But the part that haunts me is I had to grab them by the skin of the back of their necks and inject them with some sort of antiviral drug (ringworm?). They screamed bloody murder every time. You also have to make cat food slurry and inject it into their throats while they fight you and most of it gets on their coats. It was a miserable experience.

kids recently tried to convince me to "take in" a robin that had fallen from nest but couldn't fly.  I knew the total grossness and also hopelessness of it all so I told them the story that mom and dad robin were still around and if we touched it they would reject then we all went to duck donuts and came back later.  voila the baby robin was gone - mom and dad have swooped down and save it and definitely not a cat/fox casualty

Remember spracs, it's not a lie if you once believed it when you were a dumb kid.

Other than being adorable, what's the purpose of a tiny cow? Tiny steaks and or sliders are not acceptable answers.

they are bred solely for the purpose of being used as training animals for junior bull riders.  some say that there are parts of the world where children as young as 6 months begin learning the craft.

They surely don't have any commodity value, so I guess emotional support? I can't figure it out, myself.

What if I told you that is not totally inaccurate?  The bulls in this video are all fully grown....

I can only imagine how much better of a bull rider I would have been if these were around when I was younger.

Thats lame.  You are decreasing the chance a bull goes totally berserk and smashes the crap out of some kid from Chickasa

They have one.  I believe it has been in place since at least 2017.  Once the judges determine you've taken enough time, I believe you have 30 seconds to nod your head.  It is really tough with some bulls because they will lean and squat in the chute which makes it really tough to get a tight pull on your rope and get your legs down the side of em before the gate is opened.  There was more than one instance I had to nod and get into final position as the gate was opening.
