People used to put eels in wells to keep them clean.

some slavposter years ago had a live fish in their vegetable crisper

froge piss milk
with shid

>>5096863
why would I need to freshen my frog?

Chaining up monkeys and making them harvest coconuts for a meager salary of one banana an hour.

>>5096863
Wouldn't the frog just contaminate the milk by shitting in it?

Turnspit dogs were breed to have only one purpose in life, to run, non-stop turning a spit roast. Zero intelligence, zero socialization skills, zero hunting or survival skills. Just run.

The plains indians used to have dogs trained as pack animals, they'd carry bags or pull sleds for them

>>5096895

>>5096903

>>5096958
chihuahuas are fucking good living alarm systems

>someone enters your property at night
>your three to six guard dogs which are capable of driving off an intruder don't care
>the chihuahua that lives on your roof notices and goes ballistic
>this drives all your dogs into "remove intruder" mode

Weasels used to be kept in households for rodent control before domestic cats became common

>>5096902
But can it hear with that ear?

>>5096863
it reminded me of the old short tale about the frog turning milk into butter from swimming on it so much

>>5096863
>Chinese fishermen using cormorants
>That African tribe that works with a bird to get honey
>Rats used to detect mines
>Ferrets used to flush out rabbits to hunt them
A few that come to mind

>>5097002
Imagine the smell

>>5097002
>before domestic cats became common
You're baiting her aren't you?

>>5097002
Ironically neither could ever do the job. Humans are really not very smart.
>predator: lives alongside rodent populations in the wild
>human: I SAWS IT EAT ONE O DEM IMMA GET AND THEN ALL O DEM MICE GON DIE
>rodents: breed faster than predator can eat them
>predator: never runs out of rodents to eat
>human: I SAWS IT EAT ONE O DEM EVERY NIGHT SO IT KEEPIN EM UNDER CONTROL. AH'M MOUSE FREE, AINT SEE ONE IN WEEKS.
>rodents: actively trying not to be seen or caught
>predator: unable to eat mice faster than they can breed
>humans: constantly dying of disease
>God: Working as intended.
There is literally no animal, none, that can act as pest control. Zero. Even with purpose bred dogs their owner has to follow them around and break up rodents hiding spots, and follow up with trapping to clean up the hundreds that the dogs miss. If there were, rodents would just go extinct.

>>5097049
what are you talking about
domestic cats appeared in Europe only 2000 years ago
before that people kept weasels and we see that from Mediterranean island where weasels weren't native and had to be brought by humans

>>5097051
Correct. Traditional working animals are nonsense.

Dogs capable of protecting people and property are more likely to attack family members and friends.
Cats can't control rodents and are more likely to transmit diseases between humans and pests.

People just assume these things by cherry picking exceptional scenarios like "a pitbull attacked a burglar, once" or extrapolating from limited data, ie: cat eats two mice every night, its not that i have thousands of mice, it will definitely run out of mice to eat (never does). This idiocy kills more people in the modern age than the rodents and robbers ever could.

>>5097054
You motherfuckers say the stupidest shit and it never gets old. Keep it up, based retards.

>>5097051
You've never been to a farm where they have "barn cats"

>have 30+ cats in one barn lot
>supplement them with dry food in addition to the mice they eat
>cats are psychopaths that kill even if not hungry
>massive cat population kills every small animal within a mile of the house

One extra preditor doesn't change the ecosystem, but dump 30+ artificially supported predators and you'll see fewer mice

>>5097052
>what are you talking about
Look at 051. You inadvertently baited her. It's a poster that has been incessantly seething about cats for years. Furthermore she replied to herself in 054

>>5096905
The struggle itself towards the roast is enough to fill a dog's heart. One must imagine turnpit dog happy.

Raccoons were used by North American Indians as food source and brought in to several Caribbean islands

>cats totally work guys
>you just need thirty plus to eradicate all signs of life
cats are also a rabies and plague vector on top of the toxo and famously dont do shit about rats because they're smarter than the cats, so, gee, i wonder why europoid peasants kept fucking dying until they discovered germ theory and europe continues to have the toxoplasmosis rate of fucking india

thank god i'm american. we keep 80+ % of our cats indoors (apparently the germongs wont even let you adopt one unless you sign a contract stating it will be allowed to roam). the FDA bans using cats as pest control.

What's up with brownoids constantly seething about cats every single time anyone talk about literally anything animal related?

Guy said mice, not rats. Rats are nearly twice as big as a mouse. And rats might actually fight back under certain circumstances.

>>5097358
>Rats are nearly twice as big as a mouse
>nearly twice
A typical brown rat weighs about ten times as much as a house mouse. They can put up a serious fight.

I was looking for the simple household version of the below. This much more complex iteration is new to me.

I don't know if it's true or I'm falling for ye old bullshit.
