Increasing amounts of manuls used for hate

Odinea / Одинея

After making my other post in the steppe about this issue, my experiences seeing people using manuls for hate symbols has increased. In under 2 minutes and on one account I was able to find large amounts of hateful content attached to manuls, mainly transphobia and nazism.

As I’ve stated before, this is a platform about fluffy cats and I don’t want to bring politics into it but these people are hurting the image and reputation of the manul.

Here are the examples that I mentioned before:

Manul Dogwhistle

I have recently seen the manul used as a facist dogwhistle to promote hateful beliefs, primarily against marginalised groups all over the globe.

I know others have seen this happening due to a TikTok video I saw https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSqEJ2wM7/ but I was wondering if any fellow manulovers have seen this…

It is very unfortunate that the beautiful animal that is the Pallas’ cat is being used to spread such hate and malice.

There are lots of concerning comments indulging in this negative manul dogwhistle, here is an example, combining it with the SS Nazi dogwhistle. The creator of the original video has also associated manuls with hurtful beliefs against marginalised racial groups as shown in the screenshot and the LGBTQ+ community in their comments

I ordered four Manul products from the Nasu Animal Kingdom online store and they have finally started shipping out to my location, the manul stuff will arrive in 10-20 work days and I will post it on the steppe 👀

I am very excited… hence the post

Australian Manuls

Hello fellow Manulovers, how possible do you think it is that manuls could be introduced to an Australian zoo. This post in not a request but simply what opinions do people have on manuls living in captivity on Australian soil??

There are many places in Australia that wouldn’t be too hot for a manul, and even then advanced cooling systems exist. Also, I’m pretty sure transcaspian/persian manuls do inhabit some warmer places in Iran. The steppes do get considerably warm in summer as well.

Australia is one of the two habitable continents that does not house captive manuls, the other being Africa.

I’d love to know others opinions on Australian manuls!!
