How dog breeders have “improved” breeds over the past 100 years. 

The basset hound never used to sit so low. The dog has suffered changes to his rear leg structure, has excessive skin, vertebrae problems, droopy eyes that are prone to ectropion and entropion, and excessively large ears. 

The bull terrier used to be an athletic dog, but over the years his snout was mutated to be oversized and bending downwards, leading to respiratory issues. Many bull terriers have supernumerary teeth and are compulsive tail chasers and air biters owing to brain deformities. 

The boxer now has a much shorter face with an extremely short snout. The hindquarters are also lower. Like all brachycephalic dogs, the boxer has difficulty controlling his temperature in hot weather, meaning they are prone to overheating and collapsing in the summer. The boxer also has one of the highest cancer rates among dog breeds and many modern day boxers suffer from seizures. 

The english bulldog has evolved into a creature that suffers from almost every known disease. A kennel club survey conducted in 2004 found that they die on average at only 6 years and 4 months old. They cannot mate without human intervention, and cannot give birth naturally due to their giant heads. There is no such thing as a truly healthy bulldog. 

The dachshund, at one time, used to have functional legs and necks for their size. Their backs and legs have gotten longer, chest jutted forward, and legs have shrunk to such proportions that there is barely any clearance between their chest and the floor. Obese dachshunds usually have to actually drag their bellies across the ground. Their risk for intervertebral disc disease - which can result in paralysis - is extremely high. They are also prone to achrondoplastic related pathologies, progressive retinal apathy, and problems with their legs and joints. 

Pugs are the most inbred breed of dog in existence - an investigation carried out found that amongst the 10,000 pugs found in the UK are so inbred, the gene pool consists of the equivalent of only 50 individuals.  They are extremely brachycephalic, and suffer severely from all the associated problems - the folds in their face frequently get infected, they struggle to breathe (making snoring/snorting/huffing noises even without moving), they have high blood pressure, low oxygenation, often collapse and die in the summer or if allowed to overheat, dentition problems due to their skulls being so curled in, and perhaps most shocking - their double curled tail is actually a genetic defect, and in its most serious forms leads to paralysis and many dogs needed a wheelchair or being euthanised if this progresses. These dogs are usually culled if they fail to produce this ‘attractive’ trait. 

Healthy puppies that do not succumb to these ridiculous modern day breed standards are usually culled. One very heartbreaking example is the rhodesian ridgeback. The ridge is actually a genetic deformity - a mild form of spinal bifida - and puppies born without this ridge are healthy - but since the ridge is their namesake, healthy puppies are normally culled at birth and only those with noticeable ridges are bred from, thus passing the disability down to future dogs. Below is a ridgeback alongside a healthy, ridgeless dog.

3 to 4 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full…. people are choosing to buy from breeders or shops instead of offering them a home. 

Homeless animals outnumber homeless people by 5:1. 

Only 1 in 10 dogs will ever find a permanent home. 

25 PER CENT OF DOGS THAT ENTER SHELTERS ARE PUREBREEDS. 

Please consider adopting a homeless dog. Please don’t encourage breeding these animals when there are so many being killed every year. Breeding is a profit, not “just” a hobby, and even if you think your breeder is reputable, they are still churning out puppies into a world where pets are seen as disposable.

If you’re in the Tósrhavn area, there’s a celebration happening in Sirkus from 8pm that’ll probably continue into the early hours of the morning. 

[lgbtq-edits-and-bubbles]

Hi uh this isn't really a request or even much of anything to do with LGBT stuff but I just woke up from a nightmare and I'm having a hard time grounding myself but I don't want to wake up my girlfriend or my friends by calling them. Idek why I'm sending this anon here except that this blog is one of the places I go to when I'm nervous and I'm trying to find someone else awake to take my mind off it

No worries! If you need someone to talk to, you can message me here, or at my personal blog, @thegenderfluidlifechoseme💞

[lgbtq-edits-and-bubbles]

hey guys.

this is my first time posting something like this, so please bear with me.

a good friend of mine was in a terrible motorcycle accident this afternoon and he’s in critical condition right now. he has a shattered pelvis, broken arms and legs, and internal bleeding, and is going to have an ungodly amount of medical bills. his family set up a page for donations, and if y’all can do anything to help, i would appreciate it.

i can’t offer much by way of thanks — i could barely offer much in terms of donating myself, as i’m in between jobs at the moment — but i can write drabbles and short fics for people who donate if y’all have a specific prompt or something you’d like to see written.

his gofundme page is here: https://www.gofundme.com/lanceamann

please, any little bit helps. thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

ATTENTION PET OWNERS

This post is going to rushed but I’m still shaking and it’s hard to type but I NEED people to know this

My mom just took my dog to the vet She(my dog) was(still is?) having a seizure

Last month we took my dog to the vet and they told us she had developed diabetes, they told us it was caused by the food she was eating, purina beneful. They told us that there have been many many many reports of Beneful has been causing diabetes, seizures, and even death in dogs.

We had no idea

We immediately switched her food and put her on a special diet plan for her diabetes, unfortunately the effects were already permeate.

Today at 11:20 my mom woke me up crying, I helped her carry my dog to the car (while she was still having a seizure) and watched her drive away red faced and still crying.

Please please PLEASE if you are feeding your pets Purina beneful PLEASE switch their food ASAP Beneful is poising dogs and I don’t want anyone else to experience what I just did Also if you could please help me signal boost this so everyone can know

Message from @armanipastrami:

Sunlight, tidal, and aquamarine!

My answer is under the cut because it’s long.

Send me ocean asks!

sunlight: least favorite song?

I don’t have a single least favorite song, but I don’t like anything by Justin Bieber

tidal: what is a color that best describes your personality?

There are a couple colors that describe my personality...

Orange - it represents enthusiasm (I can be a very enthusiastic person when it comes to things I love/am interested in), fascination (I’m autistic, and I’m fascinated by my special interests), creativity (I can be very creative), determination (when I set my mind to something, I’m determined to do well), stimulation (I get stimulated very easily due to my mental illnesses/disabilities)

Green - On this website, it says “If green is your favorite, you have a deep need to belong, to love and be loved, and to feel safe and secure. You need acceptance and acknowledgment for the everyday things you do for others - just a 'thank you' is sufficient.” (which is true for me)

Blue - On the same website that I put a link to in the last color, it says “Lovers of blue have a deep need to find inner peace and truth, to live their life according to their ideals and beliefs without having to change their inflexible viewpoint of life to satisfy others.” (which is also true for me)

aquamarine: describe your dream date.

I answered aquamarine here.

Breakers

breakers: would you ever consider getting married?

I would love to get married, but I’m polyamorous, and marrying multiple people at the same time isn’t legal (yet), so I’m not so sure if that’ll happen...
