Are soldiers trained to eat small animals if they run out of food?
Warning: Disturbing & Gory DescriptionsFor the question asked, I believe so. During my army days, I did not go for survival training after my basic military training (BMT) as I was in the service side of the infantry unit.However, back during my younger days as a cadet corp (National Cadet Corp) the military extra curricular education in secondary school (high school age 13–16), there was a camp that I attended.During the camp, there was one day assigned as basic survival training. So there were water crossings and various forms of cover & concealment techniques. There was also a two hour introduction to four common animals to eat when there are no other animals available.The trainer was a specialist with a Ranger tab. He taught us how to dispatch;a frog - a pretty large frog compared to the common garden variety I see in my estate. Held by the its hind legs and turned upside down, the trainer proceeded to slam the frog against the surface of a near by rock, before slicing out and cooking it.a snake - the reticulated python is a common snake in Asia. We were told to differentiate properly and to practise extra care as even a bite from non-venomous snakes such as pythons can cause severe infections. Cooking the snake requires one to sever the head and place the head separate to avoid it from biting (even after being severed). Then use the blade available to us - a parang, or a rifle bayonet, to slowly slit its skin at the point of sever to peel the skin, then slowly remove the intestines with the thumb and proceed to prepare the fire for cooking.a tortoise/turtle - this was the most agonising to go through. When placed on the flat surface, the reptile stay hidden within its shell. The trainer then proceed to tap slowly at the back shell of the turtle. The moment the head pop out, it is followed with a swift chop of the parang. Once that is done, the turtle is opened by its sides and pried open. I do not recall how the turtle was cooked, perhaps I grew nauseous by then and did not concentrate further.a chicken - he showed us the easiest way to slaughter a chicken, when there is no knife available, is to swing the chicken by the head and it will decapitate un-naturally. The carcass then is de-feathered and prepared for cooking.This was my experience, as a young cadet of 14 years old. I have to assume that since the trainer was able to explain and demonstrate, such survival skills are taught to the main field operatives.
Name training a gerbil?
Actually, you can name train a gerbil but it is a lot harder than name training a rat. Hamsters on the other hand...I am not so sure. I have a male gerbil, about 1.5 years old who is name trained. They don't necessarily know their name per say, but they can recognize the syllables just like a dog. Dogs can't actually understand the word "Fido" or "Play Dead" but they understand the motion you make, the treat you give them and the amount of syllables and accent on the letters. I didn't purposely name train my gerbil but I think what helped was that every time I put my hand in the cage or made my presence known, I would say his name and pet him. He knew that I was talking to him and not his brother, even though they had the same syllable names. Animals can understand certain words a lot better if they are one or two syllables like Max or Fluffy. I proceeded to give him a treat when he climbed on my hand. I have had this little fellow since he was six weeks old, mind you, so I started young. Now it is advanced to where I say his name from about six feet away and he pops up. If I say a word like "basketball", he doesn't hear the amount of syllables and accent on the letters so he doesn't pop up and think that I am saying his name. I know this may sound silly to certain people but it can be done. I would just associate his/her name with a treat, playtime and your touch. Touch him whenever you say his name so he knows that you're talking about him. I hope this has helped!
In "Train To Busan", what exactly did the main character (Fund Manager) do that indirectly caused the outbreak?
I saw this a while ago, and I am going to have to speculate here, as I have not watched it again, and I do not understand Korean so I have to trust subtitles which may or may not be correct or complete.As far as I could tell, he didn’t have anything to do with the outbreak directly, this was an indirect situation. As far as I remember and understood, the film starts with the fact that there is an obvious outbreak that has happened at a plant. We are never told much information about it, but it is obvious that something serious is up. When the truck driver hits the deer, he drives away, and the deer gets up and walks away looking like a zombie. Obviously something from the plant has escaped into the air and animals are being affected.We cut to the fund manager who is getting a call from an investor. The investor has received some info about this issue it seems, and asks if he should sell his stock. The fund manager lies to him and tells him it’s fine, it won’t be a big problem, don’t sell your stock. The fund manager then in turn calls to sell either his stock or the company stock right away. This shows us by example that the fund manager is not a great guy, and does not have strong morals. This is an important point in many Korean, and Asian films. Morals are a strong issue, in both the Asian culture and in their movies.Basically while he had nothing to do with the leak, the zombies, and any other issues, he did have some advanced word something was up, helped to cover it up, and tried to make a profit off of it. This would cause him and his company and employees to feel some serious guilt.At least that is my take on it!
Teen girls: what do you think of bradley cooper?
Definitely fcukable. That video of him speaking French got me all hot and bothered.
Can feeding your puppy raw meat give it worms?
Yes, it CAN. However, if you are feeding commercially raised raw meat meant for human consumption then the chances are really pretty low. However, "pretty low" does not mean "non-existent." It is rare, but people and domestic animals HAVE picked up worms (particularly tapeworms, although it is possible to get some other species this way as well) from eating or handling raw or undercooked meat. And if you are talking about meat from hunted game animals (ie deer, rabbit, pheasant, etc) then the risk goes up significantly because predation is the second most common way that cats and dogs pick up tapeworms. There are also other parasites and diseases that people AND dogs can get from raw meat. For example, everyone panics about cats and pregnant women because of toxoplasmosis (a protozoan parasite), but women are far more likely to be exposed to toxoplasmosis by handling raw meat than they are from cleaning the litter box. Short answer: yes, the risk is there. However it is a minimal risk. Puppies usually pick up worms from ingesting infected feces (either by eating the feces directly or by walking through them and then licking or chewing on their feet).
Is it really hard to take care of a ferret?
Ferrets make great pets but definately are high maintence animals. They require lots of time money and patience of course. -You'll have to get it a nice cage (can start with a smaller starter one to help litter train the ferret then work your way up to a bigger cage, I did a my first home cage then a ferret nation 142). -Litter train the ferret if it isnt already, which takes quite a bit of time and sometimes lots of poo with stubborn ferrets -Decent food CAN be cheap, I recommend buying online rather then petco though (ferret.com, buy in bulk) -They arent stinky as long as you keep their cage clean, meaning scoop poop twice a day and wash their bedding once a week, and a through cleaning of the cage once a month. -You have to let them out atleast 4 hours a day, which they should be supervised, you should ferret proof your home..because they get into EVERYTHING -And then last that I can think of...vet bills, they will get sick eventually and that will cost a lot. Also, if you live in an apt that doesnt allow animals or even if it does you should ask the manager first and get it in writing just in case, many people have had to give up their ferrets because they didnt or the manager went back on his or her word. Most importantly, you need to do your research. Why not look at older ferrets from shelters? Usually they are VERY well mannered and already litter/nip trained and could use a loving forever home.
How do u teach a dog to jump on things?
Patting the spot you want her up on will help. Try saying things you often do when she does something good or gets a treat, in your happy cute voice you use to talk to them. Pat the spot you'd like her to jump up, like your lap, and act excited, with whatever you want to use: "Come up!" or "Come on, good girl! Good ___!" and keep on telling her how good she is. She'll get happy and come up for some petting or treats. You can try to do this with a treat for a few times, like Pupperoni, Greenies, pieces of meat(small), or even a piece of dog food. She should learn coming up means a good thing, and that she won't fall or anything if she does jump up. If she's just too small, then you'll have to carry her. It isn't good for her to jump up if she's too small(she could fall or hurt her back.) Hope I helped! :)
