“People like to feel like they are doing something good, and the problem they run into in a country such as the U.S. is that we don’t have people who need [clothes] on the scale at which we are producing"
obv it doesn't make economic sense to ship them across the world tho.
― Mordy, Thursday, 8 September 2016 22:43 (nine years ago)
it's generally either global export or landfill

The potential for shock collars to have a negative impact on behaviour has been recognised by the UK courts. In 2001 Ostarra Langridge was prosecuted after one of her dogs attacked and killed a shitzu whilst on a walk. A control order, rather than a destruction order, was imposed as the magistrates accepted the defense that Ms. Langridge's dog's aggressive behaviour was attributable to the effects of the shock collar. "Ms. Langridge sought the help of a behaviourist when her dogs started to run away from her on their walks along the beach. The dogs were given shock collars, which Miss Langridge was told to keep on for three months and activate whenever they misbehaved. But the first time the dogs got a shock was by mistake, after a small dog they were walking past made Miss Langridge jump. From then on her pets associated the shocks with small dogs and became afraid of them. When Miss Langridge described the day in July when her dogs turned on a shihtzu she had tears in her eyes.". She stated ""They connected the pain of the electric shock with little dogs because of the first time I used the collar. The day that machine came in this house I regret." [28]

Buddy, a Beagle-Labrador mix went missing while under the care of a Wag contractor. Buddy’s owner, a Long Island retired nurse named Mary Ellen Humphrey, accused the company of misrepresenting its rescue efforts and trying to buy her silence with $2,500 and by offering to pay for a planned trip to Disney World when a local news station inquired about the missing pup.

Her posting it on Facebook with the following caption is pretty wtf
“You never emerged from those depths, so you never got to hear my answer, “Yes! Yes! A million times, yes, I will marry you!!”“We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruelest twist of fate imaginable.”

yes, if the shark had severed the penis from the body, and the severed penis floated up and temporarily stuck to the window while the traumatized woman looked on ...

‘Accrington Stanley’ milk advert actor jailed for Liverpool murder https://t.co/IhRZsmhBnC— Guardian news (@guardiannews) February 22, 2023
― soref, Wednesday, 22 February 2023 19:17 (three years ago)
In the milk advert, Spaine’s character, whose face is never in shot, asks another boy: “Have you got any lemonade?” The other boy, played by Carl Rice, replies: “If you want.”As Rice pours himself a glass of milk, Spaine reacts by saying: “Milk? Eurgh.”Rice tells him: “It’s what [the former Liverpool forward] Ian Rush drinks. He said if I don’t drink lots of milk, when I grow up I’m only going to be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley.”Spaine then delivers the familiar line “Accrington Stanley, who are they?” and Rice responds with “exactly”.
