Beware of scaplets, especially poorly drawn ones.

To be fair, I was practicing the animation fundamentals.

Okay, I know people as a general rule tend to not care about invertebrates as much as cute, fuzzy mammals, but this is a must-read if you care about animal welfare. The short version is that horseshoe crab blood has been used for decades in medicine as a way to test whether something is truly sterile; the blood clots in the presence of bacteria. Since then millions of horseshoe crabs have been captured and drained of blood, even though a synthetic alternative was developed a few years ago.

They go through a pretty brutal experience in the process. They're caught by fishermen who often throw them by their tails into a pile in the open air, and they're then trucked to a bleeding facility where they're strapped down and their blood is removed with needles jabbed directly into their hearts. Over half their blood may be taken, after which they're supposed to be returned to the ocean. However, it's likely many of them never make it back, instead turned into fish bait and sold by the same fishermen who caught them in the first place.

Apart from the fact that this is a horrific thing to put any animal through, the attrition due to fatalities has put a serious dent in horseshoe crab numbers. This is compounded by massive habitat loss, pollution, and the capture of horseshoe crabs as food, particularly as the females of one species are considered a delicacy. And other animals that rely on horseshoe crabs are suffering, too. The American rufa subspecies of the red knot, a medium-sized shorebird, is critically endangered as the horseshoe crab eggs it must have in order to successfully complete migration have become increasingly scarce, and it is likely the bird will become extinct if trends continue.

While there are guidelines for medical horseshoe crab harvest, they're considered optional. The few laws that exist are poorly enforced. Short of a complete ban on horseshoe crab blood in favor of the synthetic alternative, these animals are in very real danger of going extinct after a history spanning over 400 million years on this planet.

Thankfully, this article is not the first to bring forth the issues surrounding horseshoe crab harvest. Here are a few resources for further information and action (US based, though horseshoe crabs are threatened throughout their entire range):

I know you have your little umbreon/claydol sona you use to represent yourself occasionally, but I just keep envisioning you as some kind of conch snail delicately peeking it's eyestalks out cautiously, before throwing artwork on par with Italian Renaissance painters into the fucking wind

@linafoxoficial drew such a sweet comic of Giant Sun and Clip together, so i wanted to draw them too! Giant Sun is my favourite!!

i think they would be friends, but Clip might get a little annoying

Clip: what's it like having a nose?

Giant Sun: people keep touching it

Clip: like this?? heehee! lookit me!

Giant Sun: friend. stop that.

Clip would totally take one look at Giant Sun and think 2 things: "I gotta climb that!" and "how much yarn would i need to make him an outfit?" (the answer is way more than his hairdresser salary would allow, but Clip always loves a challenge)

my favourite thing about Giant Sun is that he's always getting bigger. Clip would love that

they're gonna go take over the world! (featuring the tiny Clip!)

and here's Sun and Moon's reaction to Clip's giant new friend:

Moon: Sun... was it maybe a mistake to let Clip socialize on his own?

Sun: I... don't know.

Moon: also Sunny... please stay small.

Sun: ...

An unfortunate biological scheduling conflict occurs on the coast of a Silurian lagoon when Pseudoniscus horseshoe crabs and Eurypterus sea scorpions come to the same beach to mate and spawn. Although they are relatives who share both this behaviour and eyes which lack acuity, but have perfect night vision, the sea scorpions have no qualms about using this accidental meeting to snack on their smaller cousins.
