Broken People Making Broken Dogs
The Kennel Club requires dogs to be bred within closed gene pools, which leads to predictable disease. They write exaggerated standards that lead to deformity, and they require no tests for work or temperament which leads to dysfunction.
And for what? Because small people with small lives have a pressing need for blue ribbons to salve their own fragile egos.
As I wrote back in 2008, the Milgram Experiment is at work at every all-breed dog show, with massive amounts of cognitive dissonance and rationalization leading to a lifetime of perpetual abuse for most dogs in certain breeds.
People know that breeding very large dogs and very small dogs results in a very high, and very predictable, amount of painful canine pathology, ranging from cancer and bloat to syringomyelia.
People know that breeding achondroplastic and brachycephalic dogs results in a very high, and very predictable, amount of long-term breathing problems, joint problems, and heart disease.
People know that breeding Bloodhounds results in dogs that will often be in pain due to bloat, gastric torsion and cancer, and that more than half of these dogs will be dead by age 7.
So why do people do it?
Simple: they are simply "following directions."
The directions are written down in a "breed standard" created by a namelesss faceless group of people who claim "history" as their guide even when the history is entirely invented.
The directions say that no dog can be bred outside of the Kennel Club's closed registry system.
The directions say that a pure breed dog is better than a "mongrel" gotten from the pound
The authority is the Kennel Club.
The pain administered to the dogs is minimized by "expert breeders" and Club potentates who spend considerable amounts of time and energy denying, rationalizing and explaining away defect, deformity and disease in their breeds, and who also routinely lie to potential puppy buyers about breed longevity.
Deaf dog? Never had one.
Uric acid stones? Not in my line.
Heart problems? Oh, that occurs sometimes among "backyard breeders" but never in the kennels of the board members of the breed club.
Cancer, skin conditions and eye problems? That just comes with the breed.
In fact, only the best Chihuahuas have moleras, and only the best Finnish Spitz's have epilepsy, and only the best herding dogs have the merle gene which is so often linked to deafness.
Defect is proof of quality!
In a world in which people will administer killing levels of electric shock to other people on voice command alone, it should come as no surprise to find many people are able to rationalize breeding dogs that will be in pain or discomfort for much of their lives.
Outback Tails New Pet Range Features Indigenous Design
Designs by Pauline Napangardi Gallagher from the Warlukurlangu Artist Co-op in the Northern Territory will be featured on items such as stylish canvas dog beds, ceramic bowls and luxurious leather collars and leads. Pauline loves colour and uses an unrestricted palette to develop a modern interpretation of her traditional Aboriginal culture. Pauline's paintings are available to purchase from www.warlu.com.au
Outback Tails founder Jessica Knight says she was inspired by her passion and love of animals combined with an appreciation of Australian design, indigenous art and native Australian ingredients.
"I originally came up with the concept when I was asked to create a range of 'Aussie themed' pet products for the US market but the idea of stuffed koala dog toys and dog beds printed with typical Australian icons really didn't excite me. That’s when I decided to do things a bit differently and the Outback Tails concept was born."
A percentage of the sales proceeds will go back into Gallagher’s community.

Rocket Nets Turned the Tide For Wild Turkey
Wild turkeys were almost extirpated from the state due to indiscriminate killing and habitat loss, and despite efforts to breed and release birds in Maryland from 1930-1971, the trend was negative. what changed things? Simple: the invention of the rocket net which allowed biologists to live trap entire flocks of wild turkeys in other states and within the state for relocation.
Wild turkeys were established in Frederick County in 1970 and now can be found on much of the land I hunt.
How to Keep Animals From Chewing Car Wiring
Exposed car wires can become dangerous to humans and animals that you are transporting in your vehicle. If you have a pet that you are driving in your car, and you cannot keep the car wiring out of reach, train your dog to avoid the cords and wires so that it does not accidentally chew on them and get electrocuted. Chewed car wiring can also damage the wires in your car, causing parts to malfunction.
Instructions
- 1
Use electrical tape to hold car wiring out of your animal's reach. You can tape the wiring to a side panel somewhere and cover the wires at the ends with the tape to keep them from sticking out. When wires stick out or down is when animals become attracted to them, making it easy for them to grab onto with their mouths.
2Spray anti-chew solution onto car wiring. Make sure the spray is safe to use on wires first. The anti-chew solution produces a foul smell and yucky taste for animals, which works to turn animals off from the item they want to chew on. Anti-chew sprays are not always effective, however, because some animals do not mind the bitter taste they give off. Another alternative is to create your own spray using red cayenne pepper and water or hot pepper sauce and water.
3Do not let your dog get away with chewing on the wires. As soon as you see your pet becoming interested in the car wiring, redirect the dog's attention to something else. If you catch your dog in the act of chewing, correct the behavior by saying "no" with a stern voice and relocating the dog so it is not within reach of the cords. You can also redirect the dog's attention by giving it a chew toy instead of the wires. Never hit your dog or use physical means for correcting behavior.
4Place cord covers over the wiring. Cord covers protect animals from having access to the actual wire because the cover blocks them instead.
5Distract your dog with toys or treats. A bone filled with peanut butter will surely be more stimulating and interesting than the car wires.
