Deformed Monsters: The Crimes of 'Pet Lovers' and the Consequences of Ignorance
People often say that dogs are humanity's best friends. Dogs are also the most popular pets worldwide.
People view dogs as they would their own families. Middle-class families spend more and more on dogs, and pet dogs enjoy a good life, and many consider them the best companions.
Are pet dogs truly happy?
Humans cannot accept close relatives marrying each other, because close relatives' marriages produce deformed children, even sibling marriage is prohibited in modern society.
But people have always thought that the more pure a dog's bloodline, the better. Once a dog's hair color and body proportions don't meet people's expectations, even if it's a healthy and lively dog, its price will plummet.
In Britain, there are 10,000 Havana Hounds, all descended from 50 dogs.
We often have a vague concept of 'purebred dogs are difficult to raise'. Do you know why they are difficult to raise?
A large part of purebred dogs suffer from hereditary diseases.
For example, Dachshunds are prone to severe heart disease and high rates of brain tumors. The incidence of epilepsy is 20 times that of humans. Besides being held and given a lot of medicine when they get sick, these dogs with congenital diseases are almost incurable.
Father-daughter relationships are considered a shortcoming, and grandparent-grandchild relationships are even more so in purebred dog breeding.
Rather than inbreeding, it's even more terrifying to forcibly distort the appearance of a dog's breed for certain people's aesthetics.
The most obvious example is the Bulldog.
This is the original Bulldog, and the current Bulldog.
100 years ago, their skulls were like this.
And now, they've become like this.
To be honest, it's no longer a species.
It's much easier to distinguish between two chimpanzees, but it's hard to see any difference between them. For example, we can't distinguish the differences in appearance between two chimpanzees.
When a species undergoes such a drastic change, it can cause a shocking sensation, and it's undeniable that the Bulldog is a very strange and terrible creature within the dog family.
Speaking of skull changes, the saddest is probably the Charles Spaniel.
Its appearance is lively and elegant, with a small head, but for this small head, it paid a heavy price.
The dog's skull is too small, so it'slike wrapping its feet, and it's wrapping its brain.Therefore, they suffer from spinal cord emptiness syndrome. When you try to touch its head, the Charles Spaniel will quickly retract its head to avoid pressure.
One-third of this type of dog suffers from spinal cord emptiness syndrome, which has intermittent head pain, similar to being beaten or burned.
Due to heredity, the treatment for spinal cord emptiness syndrome is only surgery to remove a part of the dog's skull to reduce pressure. Another method is to euthanize seriously ill dogs.
Experienced purebred dog breeders say: 'Our problem is that young veterinarians don't look at problems in black and white, they refuse to kill them, they say this is a healthy and beautiful dog, just that its spine isn't protruding. …It's pointless to try. I'd rather let the dogs die in my care than let them live in the hands of enthusiasts.'
The 'enthusiast' she refers to, what exactly does it mean? It's puzzling.
All dogs worldwide, from the few kilograms of the Chihuahua to the 70 kilograms of the Tibetan Mastiff, belong to the domestic dog subspecies of wolves, and they have not undergone reproductive isolation.
They haven't undergone reproductive isolation with wolves. A few years ago, a Husky strayed into a wolf enclosure at an animal park and successfully mated with a female wolf and had a cub.
But due to the large difference in size, the 'kind' and 'kind' of dogs have obvious physical reproductive isolation.
It's still a small matter to artificially breed the size, the artificial breeding of appearance is still not attractive to dogs, satisfying humans' aesthetics.
For 'curled tail' that dogs chase, the spine of Havana Hounds is severely deformed. In addition, their flattened faces make it difficult for them to breathe, and their skin grows into their throat,
The legs of Dachshunds are much shorter than 100 years ago, just for the sake of participating in dog shows.
In addition, Labrador's eyes and joints are not good, and Spaniel suffers from enzyme deficiency. Golden Retrievers are prone to cancer. German Shepherds have a high rate of cancer. Many purebred German Shepherds have leg problems.
To 'consolidate advantages and eliminate shortcomings', according to the statement of the Kruffitz Dog Show, a world-famous dog show, they continuously 'improve' the genes of one breed to better meet the dog breed standard.
Racing dogs are used for competitions, and their appearance can better reflect the advantages of the dog breed. Racing dogs are not working dogs, and it is natural that they have different 'divisions' of labor.
In various dog breeding institutions and purebred dog protection organizations, buying dogs can obtain a pedigree certificate showing that this dog's three generations of direct relatives.
'People who buy floppy-eared cats don't love cats, they just love themselves.' What are these people in the dog circle doing?
Are they raising insects?
In 2003, a shocking scene appeared at the British Dog Show.
I really think it's just as effective as putting the soul of someone you hate deeply into a 'dog's' body.
At that time, a strange thing trembled in front of the stage. It was covered in hair, with a flat face and panting. Because its legs were too short, it could only walk a few steps. The commentator then said: 'This is a very long distance for it.'Obviously, this dog that cannot survive in the wild, cannot live in a confined space, and cannot even radiate heat on its own is a champion, which is ironic.
Without a doubt, this dog, which cannot go out, cannot live indoors, and is almost unable to radiate heat, is a champion.
To pursue the ultimate short face, the soft tissue behind its throat has been squeezed into a very narrow space. To that end, it underwent a palatoplasty.
To relieve chronic pharyngitis, it also underwent a facelift surgery.
For the sake of pursuing the ultimate, humans have also undergone surgery to remove their ribs, which is already considered crazy by most people.
In order to pursue another ultimate, they can play with genes and heredity, and dominate their preferences over another species, to cultivate deformed monsters and man-made purebred dogs.
Are dogs humanity's best friends? Should we treat them as we treat our best friends?
For some crazy people, dogs are not their best friends.
Just their toys.
