Post-CYE Finale: Larry David and Friends' Influence on Animal Guy

Welp, the years of comedy fans waiting for whenever the next season of Curb Your Enthusiasm  airs have come to an end. I may as well write a blog thanking Larry David (and his Seinfeld co-creator, as well as others) for many hours of entertainment, and for their influence on my creative pursuits. I started watching Seinfeld reruns not long before Season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm , which was when my dad introduced me to Larry David's HBO sitcom  ––  and it so happened to have been the Seinfeld  reunion story arc, which was basically an anti- Seinfeld reunion.

Glue Trap Cruelty, and Alternatives for Rodent Control

Glue Trap Cruelty In the field of animal welfare, with many people being passionate about saving the elephants and stopping dogfighting (and rightly so for both causes,) the issue that I'm writing about at this very second is the cruelty of glue traps. Some people would sadly disregard this blog writing for mentioning that rodents, however burdening they may be for some people, are still sentient creatures who deserve no suffering when being dealt with........ But they're far from the only animals that suffer from getting caught in glue traps. Did I mention that I've interned and volunteered in wildlife rehabilitation and rescue? I've worked around beavers, raccoons, bobcats, foxes, wolves, black bears, and birds of prey (including bald eagles. 😎) I can attest that anyone I've worked around who was involved in wildlife education and rehabilitation has the same disdain for glue traps that I have.
