I am literally violently sobbing over Howie the Crab at 4:33 in the morning, I'm glad Howie got to die comfortably and with dignity. I stand by that all animals should be treated with kindness, no matter what that animal is. And frankly it makes me mad how so many animals are treated, like Stingrays, Crabs and a majority of fish. They aren't as cuddly as your typical house pet but they are still living creatures and they deserve to be treated as such. I feel like this shouldn't even be a thing that needs to be said but the way so many people treat non-mammal animals is disgusting.

A snake story, based on an experience I had while I was in Florida.

Day 13 - Urban In 1935, it was claimed in East Harlem that an 8-foot Alligator inside of their sewer systems, which was publicized intensely and spawned the claim and urban legend that there's Alligators all across NYC's underbelly, along with spawning the same rumours in other cities aswell. According to old stories, they were flushed down to the sewers, and found each other, quickly bonding with one another soon after to thrive. Realistically, the sewers arent healthy enough to have any fully grown alligators roaming underneath, especially in Manhattan. But there's been reports of rescuing small babies, so perhaps this is one of the most believable?
