I_Fart_Glitter, in Oregon Airport Unveils Unconventional Stress-Busters: Meet The Therapy Llamas Bringing Joy To Travelers

I am under the impression that llamas are kind of assholes? Maybe I’m thinking of camels…

I’m honestly not sure, I’ve heard that camels spit at you. I’m sure these llamas are trained to not be assholes.

Damn I was there twice now, just landed today back in PDX but didn’t see this!

Really? “Oregon airport”? 🤦🏽‍♂️ That’s some lazy clickbait.

As fun as it would be to see a llama in an airport, having them around would kick up my allergies big time, which would be hell to deal with on a plane with all the pressure changes thrown in.

Pass.

That’s a fair point, they should consider people with allergies.

It’s worth remembering that no one thinks of themselves as the bad guy. Their reasons for doing things may not be good ones, but there are always reasons. Treating people like human beings goes a long way toward solving a great many problems that anger and outrage can only make worse.

EvergreenGuru, in Thailand sends 3 orangutans rescued from illicit wildlife trade back to Indonesia

Glad to hear they’re going home. Hopefully they don’t run into any more poachers.

PDX airport is unlike anything I ever seen! They’re amazing!

From a easy layout, to easy navigation to parking & public transportation, to super nice TSA who aren’t wannabe cops.

In February 2022, it was announced that the iconic carpet would be returning to the airport when a new terminal opens in 2024.[3][4]

I love that idea of asking people to tell him their story - this is a fantastic story

I wonder if some just go “ah fuck it, don’t talk to me, just take the bike back…”

test113,

lol sure, some have. How many bike thieves are there in a small city of about a little more than 100k, and who is buying those stolen bikes? I imagine he has regulars he’s visiting now when a bike is stolen xd

blanketswithsmallpox, in Animal shelter in Pennsylvania empty for first time in 47 years

By the power of distribution issues by not ordering more dogs from Texas… We have… Feel good headline!

Seriously. At least 3/4 of the dogs at every shelter I’ve been to in the Midwest have been from Texas shipments. At least you occasionally get stuff that isnt a Pitt mix that way.

Does "reunited with their owners" mean these were lost animals whose owners were identified? How does the SPCA help with that and why were there hundreds?

Or does it maybe mean companions that were taken from homeless people and then held hostage with a fee.

Im assuming it's primarily through microchip tracking and just dogs getting out. Dog runs out the house, gets lost. If they don't have a chip or tags, the shelter has no real way of contacting the owner unless the owner sees a post about it/someone at the shelter sees something about the dog being lost. Lost pets are more frequent during holidays due to traveling, running out the door when letting family in, etc.

zergtoshi, in Ukrainian watchmaker fixes Newfoundland clock tower that hasn't told time in decades | CTV

That’s a heartwarming story and I feel like this could be the plot for a fairy tale as it describes the life of a wonderful person being dealt a bad hand who then are finally finding their place where they can thrive and be appreciated doing what they love.

What the hell is wrong with that website? No banners, proper mobile formatting and it didn’t even ask me to accept cookies!

jawa21,

Don’t forget that, being Canadian news, it pisses off and hemorrhages money from Meta passively.

The first stage of the prophecy is complete. The Codfather shall soon walk the earth.

Shit-posting aside, I’m glad she was able to do it. A broken town clock is low key depressing.
