A jaguar ate her cub — the world's first jaguar to be born via artificial insemination — just days after its birth.

A team of veterinarians at the environmental organization Mata Ciliar in Jundiaí, Sao Paulo state, Brazil, hailed the birth as a scientific breakthrough for the conservation of the species.

The majestic felines are an endangered species, with rapidly diminishing numbers surviving in limited Amazonian territory, where 90 percent of the animals are found.

[...] "Bianca was a first-time mother and this may have influenced the outcome of the event. The veterinary team could not conduct a necropsy because the baby had already been eaten."

[...] Despite what happened to the newborn, research team leaders said they are happy with the result. They are already planning to carry out more procedures throughout this year.

    Eating placenta, eating stillborns. This is what happened to Runaway's elder sibling, and it is why he is so afraid. Afraid of Mexicans. Afraid of Muslin. Afraid of Calico! Afraid of Progressive Democrats! Already, Runaway has had a dream, a nightmare, actually, where AOC and Hilary came to guarantee his Medicare and Disability under SSI. Sucks to have to be a socialist, after all those years of listening to Rupert Mordechai's Faux News Corpse. You earned it, Runaway! Or, we might have to just let you die like the MDC. Sorry.

    How can you SJWs mod this troll! It is pure libertarian dogma, from the mouths of pure libertarians! Runaway deserves his free choice about whether to, or not to, whatever it is that we were talking about. Freedom Rules! Not to say that Freedom overrides the freedom of others, as in "ruling" over them, but just that libertariantards are not too bright, and cannot recognize a blatant logical contradiction when it gobsmacks them right upside the front of their face.

      Well, the post did mention "placenta", which is a reminder to all libertarians that they did not come into existence all by their selves, but they needed the help and cooperation, without contracts, by the way, of their progenitors. Oh, crap. Libertarian types, phone your mother on Mother's Day, May 12, and do not forget to send a message to your comrades for International Workers Day, or May Day, [wikipedia.org] everywhere except for the Fascist State of the United States of America, which has somehow mistakenedly moved it to August.

      Eat the rich.

        We need either a -1 placenta, or a +1 placenta mod, and I am not at all sure which.

          If men had placentas, abortion would be, um, I lost my train of thought. Hoohas, babies coming out of them, we need to protect life, and kill the immigrants and Syrians and Democrats. Nope, lost my train of thought. May not have actually be a thought, to begin with. Abort Donald Trump's Porn star accidental babies, like Stephen Miller! Nepotism has not place in America, except in the DoD, and State, and The Department Formerly of Education. I plan to vote Republican, though I have no idea why.

            Thai no longer pertain to thought, train or not, even though one may think it as a tough thought wreckage.
