Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

      I agree. It’s really sad when children and pets die accidentally or for any reason really.

      What’s truly depressing is all the jaded assholes who think that their adult intelligence is the standard for every baby and animal in the world so it’s somehow the kids fault for strangling themselves because they should have known better

      They tend to tie themselves into a loop, even when left open.

      The risk is not to people in general, but specifically young children and pets that wouldn’t be expected to know how to get themselves out.
