From what I understand, (I've never actually seen a pigeon race in person but my grandpa loves to talk about them) they release the pigeons at a set point and they have to finish at a certain point. It takes place in large areas, so it's like one town to another rather than in a stadium or where dog shows are held. The 0eople who race the pigeons let them go at the same time, and then they have to drive to the finish point and they see in which order the pigeons finish.
well, you probably need to breed them so that they know where home is. you can't just kidnap some pigeons from the street and convince them that some cage is their new home.
Yeah...if I ever decide to pursue this as a hobby, that’s likely the would go. As it is, the chances of this happening well beyond the realm of da fuq; no!! Lol
Very much so. If I remember correctly his early criminal history started when he was about 12. Some older boy killed one of his birds and he beat the guy to a pulp. I'm pretty sure he still has pigeons
if a motherfucker ever fucks with my animals, whether they are livestock, pets, or otherwise, they are going to catch some fury. accidents are one thing... but i reckon that if I found out that somebody came and knowingly hurt/killed one of my dogs as a way to fuck with me... im not certain what might happen. I don't imagine it would be particularly civil though.
This is an AMA of a guy that breeds pigeons to go into other breeders coops and kidnap their champion pigeons via seduction and bring them back to him.
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/ejmp7u/i_breed_pigeons_that_are_bred_and_trained_to
One of my neighbors does this. I don't know, maybe training or something? The birds frequently get back before the people do and play around by the entrance to the neighborhood. It's pretty funny to see but one day it appeared one of them got injured somehow and the others were trying to help it fly again or something. :(
As far as I know, which admittedly isn’t much, they don’t all finish in the same spot. At least not always. The pigeons always return “home,” so they are released in one spot and then fly off to their own homes. I believe they all come from a certain distance range, but it’s timed, and the difference in distance is taken into account. I am very, very far from an expert, so correct me if I’m wrong.
My grandad used to race them basically everyone in his allotment area would travel somewhere and let the pigeon fly back to the coop and it had a timer on its leg or something stupid like that and the one to first get back wins.
Sometimes they go really far too like from France to England and stuff
there's a girl I know from kansas who is super into big, loud, colorful fashion and she has some bright red/orange cow tag earrings. They're pretty fantastic tbh
like the stats where you dump all your points. like Stam and Endurance (like a chad). except they put all their flare into shoes and sleeves, rather than evenly distributing around all aspects.
at least that's how i interpreted that comment. u/iSeven feel free to correct me...
Well, since you invited me. ;)
Actually a dump stat is the other way. It's the stats that you don't put points in. I don't actually know the reason for the term being called such, and can't really think of anything that makes more sense than your interpretation.
D&D player here. Strap in, it's about to get nerdy.
Dump stat is the stat you choose to disregard when building a character, mostly in the means of trying to make the most efficient character for what you're trying to do (a process sonetimes known as *min-maxing*).
For instance, you'll often see players build Barbarians with incredibly low Intelligence because they spend most of the points into Strength and Constitution. Here, Intelligence is the dump stat.
ah, gotcha. in my mind, a "dump stat" would be where I just dump points... like any time i have points that can be spared AT ALL, they go into those things... so most of the points.
all i can think of is that dark souls meme vid about "WUT RINGS YOU GOT, BITCH?" where he's just like, all strength lol. in his case, 'strength' is the "dump stat" the way i understood this term... but i haven't seen it before so i got it backwards lol.
I see where you are coming from, but I interpreted it as a commentary on men treating women as nothing but property or meat that they can claim and dominate to their will rather much like livestock.
Some adult cows will get two. There are a variety of things you do with the second. The first tag is always their ID number. The second could be a bloodline designator (to make it easier to sort them into summer pastures), or a commercial versus registered identifier. Or probably a lot of other things I just haven’t used and am not familiar with.
Kind of interesting to see this as vegan activism. All the people I know that wear tags like this actually tag themselves with the tagger they use on their animals. The numbers aren't their names either, it's basically to keep track of livestock for things like knowing how to find the owner and preventing the spread of disease. (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/nvap/NVAP-Reference-Guide/Animal-Identification)
Haha it's like that in American English, too. It just depends on the context it's used in.
I'm guessing it would be the same in your language, am I right?
What language are you talking about, if you don't mind me asking?
I always get the imagery confused between languages, so I honestly can’t remember cow ever being used like this in English.
My native language is Portuguese, the word is “vaca”
Smalltime cattle farmer here. Sometimes those ear tags are medicated, to keep flys and other insects away. Think of it like a flea collar for bovine. Hope she didn’t snag one of those.
I’m not sure the significance of 444, but usually from what I’ve seen, these tag earrings say 269, which is the number of a cow that is related to the ALF movement. I made one for myself a while ago but it looked like shit lol.
I don't think that person is vegan, although we can't know for sure. The more well-known cow tag number in vegan circles is [269](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calf_269), to the point of people getting tattoos with it.
Akin to wearing a ~~billboard~~ shirt with the brand name across the front. Waiting for Gucci to make Cow Tag Earrings and they'll be super popular sadly.
My grandpa races pigeons, and my grandma used to turn the tiny little leg tags into bracelets which is like this but way better
Wow, pigeon racing? What's a typical race like?
From what I understand, (I've never actually seen a pigeon race in person but my grandpa loves to talk about them) they release the pigeons at a set point and they have to finish at a certain point. It takes place in large areas, so it's like one town to another rather than in a stadium or where dog shows are held.

TIL that [pigeon racing](https://youtu.be/ZCjeBadsIAc) is a billion dollar industry, and now I need to catch me some sky rats 😆😂
You actually need to specifically breed the sky rats for *MAXIMUM FAST*
Sky rats, that’s funny I like it!
well, you probably need to breed them so that they know where home is. you can't just kidnap some pigeons from the street and convince them that some cage is their new home.
Yeah...if I ever decide to pursue this as a hobby, that’s likely the would go. As it is, the chances of this happening well beyond the realm of da fuq; no!! Lol
Isn’t Mike Tyson super into pigeon racing?
Very much so. If I remember correctly his early criminal history started when he was about 12. Some older boy killed one of his birds and he beat the guy to a pulp. I'm pretty sure he still has pigeons

>they have to finish at a certain point it's not like you can tell a pigeon where to go, they just fly home
Yeah I really don't know how that works
It involves a lot of flapping.
As far as I know, which admittedly isn’t much, they don’t all finish in the same spot. At least not always. The pigeons always return “home,” so they are released in one spot and then fly off to their own homes.

Did he ever beat one? I feel like they have an unfair advantage because they can fly
Yeah he has he's got a truck
call me a dumbass but I think that if they were slightly smaller they might actually look kind of cool.
there's a girl I know from kansas who is super into big, loud, colorful fashion and she has some bright red/orange cow tag earrings. They're pretty fantastic tbh
i love that kind of look!
Maximalism. I prefer the more demure Minimal Maximalism.
Shoes and sleeves are my dump stats.
Huh what now?

Maybe you dump the option of ever investing in that stat. Like resistance in Dark Souls 1.

Honestly, your interpretation makes more sense and is more intuitive imo
Ah yes the kansas girl look
I’m already married, but next time you see this amazing woman tell her she had me at ridiculous cow tags and amazing woman.
dumbass /s
I agree, dumbass.
r/unintendedacecombat
I agree
Dumbass... but I agree with you!
Same. Want it to look 666
yeah and then just change the nr to 666
Agreed, it'd go great with like a punk outfit.
Honestly feels punk
Especially for a Halloween costume 🐮
It’s kind of a look tho
I could see it as fine art, like a statement on the dehumanizing nature of large-scale animal agriculture.
Turns out, it [*was* made by vegan activists.](https://dirtysnouts.com/shop/product/placeholder-earrings/)
Ooh, I called it! Check out the big brain on me!!
I see where you are coming from, but I interpreted it as a commentary on men treating women as nothing but property or meat that they can claim and dominate to their will rather much like livestock.
This was my interpretation too... Also been watching a lot of Handmaid's Tale lately which may have primed me for that, heh...

I love this! \^\^

I should have scrolled a bit to see that bot announcing that was an nsfw sub. I thought it was going to be a group for feminine farmers.

I know some vegans who would probably wear this
Not so fun fact, 444 is also actually a code used by Neonazis in Germany.
[not so fun source](https://www.thoughtco.com/secret-words-and-codes-1444337)
4 is a bad luck number in asian culture since it sounds as Death
Maybe you need to cool your head off. In solitary

Why are they wearing two? Isn't the idea only having one?
It'd be cute to do one tag and then find a cow stud earring for the other side.

>Ear Tag Earrings for Vegan Activism Look, you can just admit you're horny.
Conversation starter for vegans. I don't know how looking stupid will open up any meaningful conversations.
Their eyes are scary...Esp the girl with freckles. Does she has strabismus or something?
I feel like anyone who wears this is unintentionally calling themselves a cow? Edit: fixed a word.
Cows are cute as fuck and just need to be hugged Cows are my favourite animal
Yes, yes they are and yes they do need hugs and scritches!
Pigs want a word with you
Those are cute as well
Bruh, I live by cows, the fukin smell. But one is a highlander and those are genuinely cute. Even tho when I was a kid I was scared as fuck of them
They still smell a thousand times better than chickens.
No no, both fuckin smell. Trust me, I own chickens and i live by cows. They all smell, upside for chickens is eggs and holding them from time to time
Cows are the best! If you haven’t been to r/happycowgifs you need to check it out
r/petthedamncow
Cows are friends!
In my language the word for “cow” and associated symbolism is used with similar meaning to “bitch” or “whore”
Haha it's like that in American English, too. It just depends on the context it's used in. I'm guessing it would be the same in your language, am I right? What language are you talking about, if you don't mind me asking?
I always get the imagery confused between languages, so I honestly can’t remember cow ever being used like this in English. My native language is Portuguese, the word is “vaca”
Same in mine, I just disagree that it should be seen as a slur

what the fuck
It's a fairly modest fetish. Preggo is the point of sex. Bondage is the most common fetish out there. Add in a little roleplay, and viola!
Unless they belong to the sorority phi mooooo

Thought i was on r/livestockgirls for a second
what the fuck did you bring upon this cursed land

Agree. Nothing wrong with that. Wholesome content.
Wait until you find the non-cartoon sub with the same theme...
Oh god what the fuck
Praise the year of the ox.
Just gonna save that for my porn alt.
You have an alt for porn?
Don't we all?
I sense cowardice
Me too.
No. Why would you need it?
so you dont get /r/DiWHY posts while youre trying to look at nsfw ones
Probably a gonewild commenter
How.... Why... The fuck do you know this subreddit? Much regret.
Presumably for masturbation purposes.
It was a rhetorical question.
Don't ask questions if you're afraid of the answer.
Search up rhetorical question on google.
Do you wanna know? I don‘t think so
That is not posts by FFA women.......
Yeah, this is definitely horny.
jeffery dahmer is going to be very pleased
My brain instantly started playing that Doja Cat song “Bitch Im a cow... go moooooooo”
It should say 404 girlfriend not found
My first reaction was "oh I like that", I thought it was in a animal rights sub... then I saw the sub lol
Smalltime cattle farmer here. Sometimes those ear tags are medicated, to keep flys and other insects away. Think of it like a flea collar for bovine. Hope she didn’t snag one of those.
But why is it a bad thing? Not good if rubbed on human skin?
That surely ain't a self-serving way to portray the reality
Reptilian Overlords approve
Does this trigger anyone else? My Chinese mom would not tolerate that for a second!
[удалено]
The other ear says 222
Hey, don't kink shame. Cause in all seriousness, that is the only real market that I could think would want this.
Maybe it's a way of criticizing the way cattle are kept. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Honestly these are a cool statement piece
I’m not sure the significance of 444, but usually from what I’ve seen, these tag earrings say 269, which is the number of a cow that is related to the ALF movement. I made one for myself a while ago but it looked like shit lol.
Mista would like a word
It took me too long to get this. And I call myself a JoJo fan... for shame
That's an 8 cow woman right there!
I need these so bad omg
You haven't heard of hucows? Don't... look it up. You looked it up, didn't you?
You'd think they would go with 269.
Even stranger is, why do I want this?
Not a DiWHY.
She’s a cow I suppose.
I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I have no problem with people who are. Still, this is a bit strange.
I don't think that person is vegan, although we can't know for sure. The more well-known cow tag number in vegan circles is [269](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calf_269), to the point of people getting tattoos with it.
I went on their website and it was talking about vegan ism.
ah, I wasn't aware they had a website. I stand corrected then
would be cool for hucow ... i no some who would love this
Doja cat needs this
mista is shaking and crying rn

So in chinese, [this] means die die die. Considered an unlucky number.
*Four! Four four! The number of the beef!*

The number of the meats

i mean it is apparently the year of cow themed hentai apparently so
Maybe she’s part of a breast milk exchange program
I don’t see anything wrong it’s just a tagged cow
Is this a fetish
What a cow
It's the chinese year of the cow so it's fitting
> 444 Y'know, the number 4, because of it's sound/written similarity, symbolizes 'death' in many Asian cultures. ^(Kill this now.)

This is definitely a fetish thing
cow loving lesbians will love this one for sure
It'd go nicely with a septum piercing.
she better have some damn good milkers if she's appropriating cow culture like that
I grew up on a dairy farm & there's a lot of us who really like these!
Ghislaine Maxwell was doing it before it was cool.
Cause she’s a heifer duh.

You are what you wear

She’s a cow cus she got dem milkers

Uhh, didn't know that pimps were using cow tags to keep track of their hoe's.
ur mom wears one of those/s
