Damn, my favorite communities are merging. A desire path and a gittertier: !gittertiere@feddit.org
Oh I love this. “Lattice animals.”
They are such graceful creatures that love to roam the world by themselves, but unfortunately are often kept in larger herds for carrying heavy goods and may even be chained to one another to prevent them from escaping these terrible conditions. 🥹
Every now and then while walking to my local grocery store I find one grazing near the apartment complex nearby, and since I am already on my way to the store, I invariably bring it back to the herd.
I assumed this was the correct course of action as it was one of the smaller ones, I figured it got lost from its parents.
But now I wonder if I’ve been bringing an escapee back to its prison! 🥺
Huh, I never knew this existed haha I best join up
