  1.  @LevObzor  actually, endogenous opioids have been found in several arthropods, indicating the capacity to feel pain

  2. cement is abaolutely terrible for the environment. id certainly go for less damaging options. You can find homemade options that arent made of an ecological horror

  3. @yokued fx 30% die upon drawing of so much blood immediately, and there is additional death toll when returned to the sea (tho companies in asia dont return them, just kill them and sell as food). They dont really breed after they have been drained. the population is shrinking due to a combination of factors

  4. Traditions that are damaging should not be kept around. Cement is horrifyingly damaging to the environment and climate crisis, with much better options now available. The industry should be shifted into less damaging materials The fact that something is traditional doesnt make it by default virtuous, good im or worth keeping around.

  5. CS Tear gas is carcinogenic, an irritant, a teratogen, clastogenic and causes permanent lung, liver and heart damage. Not a good idea at all. Unless you like cancer and the other things mentioned

  9. "Even though biomed blood extraction is considered a "low-mortality catch and release" use, as many as 30 percent of horseshoe crabs die from the bleeding process. This doesnt even account from the delayed deaths that occur after return to the sea. The supply is limited, and the toll is huge. Some 600,000 animals in the U.S. are harvested each year for this purpose," says Tanacredi. There are reports that biomed companies use. suctioning devices after the blood flow drops to almost nothing. Many companies dont return them to the sea, rather sell them as bait. And the long-term impact may be much worse. In areas where the most crabs are harvested for bloodletting, fewer females show up to spawn. The problem is worse in Asia, where no animals are returned to their habitat. "In Singapore during the breeding season, 10,000 adults per day are harvested, bled out and then prepared for sale as food. At this rate they could be extinct there in a decade," Tanacredi says. Our own Limulus polyphemus was placed on the vulnerable list by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in 2016. In addition to habitat loss, this means that the horseshoe population is decreasing pretty rapidly, and could become extinct pretty soon
