“Dog inbreeding” just shows how little you know. Ethical breeders make careful selection of their breeding pairs. It’s far better than letting health issues perpetuate wildly. And ethical breeders don’t tend to make much, if any money off of it, either. They tend to do it for love of the history and purpose of the breed.
Given that I have over 30 years in various aspects of animal science, yes. I actually do know what I’m talking about, because my perspective comes from actual lived experience and not memes.
But I’ve seen you post in Lemmy multiple times, and every time you fail to grasp that you don’t know everything.
The type of dog I prefer generally doesn’t end up in shelters, because the vast majority of breeders are ethical.
I don’t expect this to be a popular opinion, but by all means, adopt the pets created by unethical breeders instead of buying ones from breeders who are ethical, cautious, involved, and caring.
Based on personal experience, I’d say it’s because my oldest just learned to drive.
And I use the term “learned” very generously.
Just kidding, they’ve mostly stopped stalling at intersections, so it’s all good.
If they had that twenty years ago, I could have tens of thousands of dollars I spent on my kids’ therapy instead of their education.
People thinking Trump is a Christian symbol is the biggest con ever.
Pick one argument you made that you think is the best, and I’ll show you why it’s erroneous.
And no, I wouldn’t want to wait. I’ve been the woman in this scenario. I was three months pregnant when my husband physically attacked me. You need a swift legal end. It’s easy to write a divorce agreement that deals with situations that don’t yet exist. Most every single one deals with at least a few. (When the house sells, at retirement age, when taxes are due, etc.) Why not when a baby is born?
Until that line is signed by a judge, men like my husband continue to drag you back because they think they own you under the law.
Your arguments sound great to anyone who hasn’t actually been in that situation. But every one of them can be addressed without forcing a woman to stay married to her abuser.
None of those reasons are valid. Not one.
If this had been a law for me, I and my children might very well be dead now.
They didn’t lose track. People are now addicted to the salt and sugar bomb. They know it and capitalize on it.
Hey, my ex, convicted of domestic violence, never saw a day in jail, and bought a gun the minute he could get his record expunged, making sure to show it to the kids so they would pass it on to me.
This from the guy who claimed to hate guns to the point he’d refuse to talk to anyone who owned them.
I feel so bad for his poor wife.
I was getting harassed by my dealer to buy a new car, and I said I didn’t like the new cars and all their “features.” He said “fair enough” and left me alone after that.
