In the face of wild beasts, we did not crumble. We did not back down. We stood eye to eye with violence and it blinked first.

India's feral dogs soon benefitted from the vultures' decline, he says. Due to the fall in vulture populations, cow carcasses piled up and the number of feral dogs surged as they became the main scavengers. This had a knock-on effect on human health as it led to a rise in rabies deaths, says Prakash. "There has been an increase in rabies in India over the past 20 years," he says. According to a study by scientists at the University of Bath, the vulture decline made way for at least 5.5 million extra feral dogs in India, responsible for an additional 38.5 million bites between 1992 and 2006. Using a national survey which showed that 123 out 100,000 people who are bitten by dogs die of rabies, the scientists calculated that at least 47,395 people died as a result of feral dogs becoming the dominant scavengers in India. Taking account of the average cost of treating rabies patients and dealing with the additional deaths, Taylor and his colleagues concluded that the vulture decline caused by diclofenac indirectly cost India $34bn (£28bn) between 1993 and 2006, equivalent to 3.6% of the country's GDP in 2006. "It is important that vultures be restored, as they are a valuable resource for India and hold an important place in the ecosystem," says Taylor.

[ID: Jade Rush commented: A follow-up to our last week's report on the matter of the pack of feral dogs that's been terrorizing Night Vale. The scientists have found out that the dogs will lay down and play dead if you've got the bones, if you've got the bread, but if all you've got's your own two legs - just be glad you got them. Considering the dismal wheat and wheat by-products situation in out beloved hometown, your chances of surviving the encounter have just dropped by half. Or, rather, by three quarters. You don't know it yet, but you only have one leg now due to your involuntary donation to the City Council. The Repo-man will drop by your house later today to harvest your contribution. Sorry 'bout that. Hop on now. We don't want the dogs to get you, now do we? End ID]

Where Do I Even Start: Welcome to Night Vale (WTNV)

Start with: “10 - Feral Dogs”*

Why THAT Episode?

There are a lot of great episodes to start Welcome to Night Vale with - the podcast itself has several recommendations (which I’ll address in a bit). I like suggesting this particular episode to people because it’s got some humor in it - who doesn’t chuckle at the thought of a pack of anarchist puppers running around causing havoc? This episode, while slightly more humorous, follows the general format of the other episodes and gives you a good idea of what to expect as far as the tone of the story itself.

But it’s far from the only episode I’d recommend! I actually like their Pilot episode quite a lot! It’s engaging and draws you in at the beginning.

One of the episodes the podcast itself recommends - that I heartily agree with - is “13 - A Story About You.” It’s different from the usual episodes, but not so different that it throws you off. I actually find that episode kind of soothing - I’ve put it on to fall asleep before.

So, my recommendations are: “10 - Feral Dogs,” “1 - Pilot,” and “13 - A Story About You.”

What Is The Podcast About?

Welcome to Night Vale (WTNV) is a fiction podcast that I’d put into the ‘surrealism’ genre with a healthy dose of horror and/or gothic. Not every episode is filled with horror, but it certainly keeps a foot in that camp. I will say the horror is more on the gothic/eldritch side rather than violence and gore, if that helps.

The premise is that you’ve tuned into the local radio station for a small town out in the desert called Night Vale, where strange things are always afoot. But, what’s ‘strange’ to you, the listener, most likely isn’t strange to a typical resident of Night Vale. When I first watched the TV show Wayward Pines, it reminded me of this podcast!

Why Should I Listen To It?

If you enjoy surreal, horror, and/or gothic themed media with several sprinkles of humor, you’ll enjoy this!

The story is fascinating, the voices and sound are fantastic, and you just might find a fun song you enjoy! How, you ask? You have to listen to find out!

If you like The Kirlian Frequency (TV show), The Magnus Archives, King Falls AM, Unwell, and Camp Here & There, you’ll like this podcast!

I adore WTNV, personally, although I have done a poor job of keeping up with it. It’s worth getting into!

~Happy listening!~

Hello! I've been waiting long to start a tumblr blog for literally no reason, and today is the day!

My name is Ingrid (she/her, they/them and it/its are okay, xe/xem too), and I'm a digital artist with passion for nature, animals and fantasy. I post about otherkin experience on my sideblog @sunpoweredog

I mostly draw ferals, but hopefully i'll also share some content from my own story with human characters.

Shadowbugs and Feral Cats/Dogs

Thankfully, Shadowbugs can often tell the difference between feral dogs/cats and stray dogs/cats. They have 4 criteria on whether or not a cat or dog is feral or a stray:

1. Does the dog or cat have a collar or other accessory?

2. Does the dog or cat faintly smell like a human?

3. Is the dog or cat somewhat friendly towards humans?

4. Is the dog or cat in a fenced-in area (ie: someone's yard, a catio, etc)?

If the answer is "no" to 2 or more of these questions, then the dog/cat is feral and thus free game for a hungry feral Shadowbug. If the answer is "yes" to 2 or more of these questions, then the dog/cat belongs to somebody and must be returned to their humans.

However, if the cat/dog is a free-range cat/dog and fits the Shadowbug's criteria for being feral, a feral Shadowbug might mistake them for a feral cat/dog and hunt them.

Aside from that, Shadowbugs actually do a solid job at keeping the feral animal population in check and actually helping the ecosystem despite not originally being from Earth.

Not that it matters since Shadowbugs are already so well-integrated into multiple different environments from being on Earth for so long and not reproducing that often.

In India, the feral dogs can't match the efficiency and speed of vultures when it comes to disposing of carcasses, says Bowden. This means that many carcasses are left to decompose naturally or, in some cases, are incinerated. Carcasses release greenhouse gasses when they decompose, including CO2 and methane. But most of these emissions are prevented if the vultures dispose of them, according to a study released earlier this year by scientists at the National University of Comahue in Argentina. The study estimated that a single vulture consumes between 0.2 and 1kg (7 and 35oz) of decaying carcass meat per day, depending on the species. When it's left to decompose naturally, each kilogram of carcass meat emits about 0.86kg of CO2 equivalent, or CO2e. Using these estimates, the scientists calculated that the 134-140 million vultures worldwide could be preventing tens of millions of tonnes of emissions per year, an amount comparable to the emissions of some countries. "This ecosystem service contributed by vultures to humans and nature cannot easily be replaced by other species, including humans," the study notes. However, due to the absence of vultures, rotting carcasses in India are now often buried, dumped at landfill sites, or thrown in the river, where they risk contaminating the water and result in odour pollution around cities, says Prakash.
