Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.
I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.
I’m curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D
I’m kinda on the fence here, on one hand it’s pretty cool to be able to care for all those animals and even potentially save them from being killed, on the other hand I kinda think that we, as humans, shouldn’t disturb wild animals any more than we already do but I can see that your intentions are good.
Do you ever get like too emotionally attached to animals you find (to a point where you actually keep them as pets permanently)? Do you still have “normal” pets besides them?
Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I immediately thought to myself “yep, they’re Australian” :D
Nah im in the american south.
And im not so worried about disturbing nature as its all land i own not public land. I have like 50 acres of hunting land, i live on 2 acres rn with acess to a like 300+ft wide river with a beach(just camped out there last night actually), and the forest i said im releasing them is 40 acres of untouched woods with a 15ft river through the center. Im building a house there starting like 2 months from now and it will be my permanant residence. I want it FOR the nature so im being much more low impact than everyone else. I could bulldose the trees and put in a cow pasture on the whole thing like my neighbors do. But i bought the forest as a nature preserve basically. So me playing with animals here and there is still significantly better than what others would do.
Yeah i have 2 big dogs that are super friendly. They go everywhere i go, they go grocery shopping with me. But yeah i do get attached to the animals i find, but my forest if fucking perfect for animals idk how to explain it without pictures and maps lol. They’re happy out there. So it doesnt bother me to let em go
So actually now that i think about it i collect land
