Let’s talk about something that really shouldn’t exist - debarking, or devocalisation. This is a surgical procedure where part of a dog’s vocal cords are removed to reduce their ability to bark. But it doesn’t solve the reason behind the barking - it just takes away their ability to...

Barking is a dog’s voice - not an inconvenience to be surgically removed! Debarking, or devocalisation doesn’t fix the underlying anxiety, boredom, or fear; it just strips away a dog’s primary way to communicate while exposing them to serious airway risks. Fortunately It is banned as an unnecessary mutilation across the UK, Europe and several other nations. It is still however legal in much of the US and parts of Canada, though a growing number of states and municipalities have banned or restricted it unless medically necessary. Some justify its use as a last resort where a dog would otherwise be euthanised due to excessive barking. What are your thoughts on this? #benthevet #vetmed #veterinarian #petadvice #dogsoftiktok

Does your dog bark at people that walk by?? Try this! I personally think we spend too much time reacting to our dogs poor behavior, instead of being proactive and teaching the correct behavior. Having a little porch time with your dog is beyond helpful, not just for the barking, but also teaching your dog to generally remain calm outside. Here’s what you’ll need! A leash, place bed, your dogs training collar, their food or a frozen treat like Roscoe’s absolute favorite @Dogsters 🍦🐶 Do not distract your dog from looking around in the neighborhood by saying their name, or waving food in front of their face to get them to look into your eyes. Your two options are simple. Allow them to watch the world and you can reward them for checking in with you. Or give them something of value to eat, which will help them decompress while watching the world go by. At this point, your dog should be relatively good at holding their place command, The only things that you will correct is getting off of the place bed, or reactive barking. Barking is normal, but you do need to put a limit to it if your dog cannot do it themselves. If they bark once from being startled , I would not intervene. As soon as I deem the barking to be a nuisance, I simply say no, and use leash pressure to stop my dog. if you have questions about barking, ask away! ⬇️

If your dog suddenly seems painful when opening their mouth, struggles to eat, or you notice swelling on the top of their head or around their jaw, it might be more than just a sore tooth. One possible cause is Masticatory Muscle Myositis (MMM). MMM is an autoimmune condition where a dog’s own immune system mistakenly attacks the muscles used for chewing. This causes inflammation, pain, and swelling in the jaw muscles. In the early stages, dogs may act tired, drop food, avoid chewing, or cry when their mouth is touched. If it goes untreated for too long, those muscles can start to shrink and tighten, making it hard or even impossible for a dog to open their mouth properly. That’s why catching it early is so important. The good news? With the right diagnosis and treatment (usually medications that calm the immune system), many dogs improve a lot and can go back to eating, playing, and living comfortably. If your dog ever seems painful when eating or opening their mouth, it’s always worth getting it checked. They’re not being picky - they might be hurting. #mmmdog #doghealthtips #vetadvice #masticatorymusclemyositis #veterinaryeducation

This is my dog, Maverick. He's a Doberman. As you can see, he has his natural ears and his long tail. I get a lot of comments asking why he is or isn't cropped or docked, so here is why. We live in the UK, where ear cropping and tail docking are illegal under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and the Mutilations (Permitted Procedures) Regulations 2007. The only exception is if a vet carries out the procedure because it is genuinely medically necessary. Historically, Dobermans were cropped and docked for working purposes, and over time that became the look most people associated with the breed. There are some potential benefits, however, for the vast majority of pet Dobermans, these procedures are not necessary and don't improve their quality of life. I don't think there's anything wrong with people owning cropped or docked Dobermans. A lot of people get their dogs from rescue centres where these procedures have already been done, and it wasn't their choice. In many countries, these procedures are also carried out before puppies even go to their new homes. Personally, I would never choose to crop or dock my own dog. However, if I rescued a dog who already had these procedures done, I would love them just the same. I think Maverick looks perfect just how he is, and honestly, the fierce cropped look doesn't really suit him anyway. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic, as it can be quite controversial, so let me know in the comments. #dog #dogtok #doggo #dogs #dogowners

Kenji, the baby Mooseweiler, is learning to be comfortable with a muzzle. He isn't aggressive or likely to bite someone, so why do we do this? Emergency preparedness. If he's ever seriously injured the vet clinic will likely muzzle him as soon as they take him into the back. Even the gentlest of dogs with the best temperaments might become fearful and bite if they are in pain and someone tries to exam their injury. Especially if it's a stranger or they already have negative feelings about vet clinics. Even something as straightforward as a torn nail can be painful enough that a muzzle is used. Putting the muzzle on allows the veterinary team to quickly and safely examine the dog, perform first aid, or start an IV for sedation if needed. If a dog has never worn a muzzle, it can add to the stress and fear they are already experiencing from being restrained and examined while being in pain, especially if they try to resist having it put on. It's much easier on the dog and the veterinary team if the dog is comfortable with wearing a muzzle. If the dog has had a lot of positive conditioning with the muzzle it can actually help calm them as it's something familiar with good emotions attached. Anytime I can help my dogs avoid unnecessary stress, I'll do it. Muzzle training is one way and it helps ensure we're prepared for emergencies. Often when someone sees a dog wearing a muzzle, they assume the dog is aggressive. That's often not the case. It could simply be wearing it during training to get comfortable with it or it might be a dog that eats things off the ground. It could also be a responsible owner of a fearful dog that might snap if an unleashed dog rudely runs up. A muzzle doesn't mean a dog is bad. It's often the sign of a good dog owner. #XDogs #PuppyTraining #Muzzles 🎥 Kenji learning to voluntarily put his head into a muzzle

We are living in a time where more men are being more vocal about their feelings which many women have said they have wanted for a long time. However, some women are struggling with accepting what men have to say when it comes to them having to accept that all relationship problems are not caused by men. This is not meant to be an attack on women but many women take it as an attack and are way more interested in defending women than actually understanding what men are trying to say. It tends to be more challenging for women to emotionally regulate and to accept accountability, not because they are flawed, but because of the conditioning and training that has taught women that men are less intelligent and more than often the problem. Quality men, which there are plenty of but are often overlooked and not talked about, are tired of being blamed for everything and are no longer willing to tolerate it. They want to make it clear that most men are not like the stereotypical bs that our society teaches about men. It has been challenging because it's difficult for many women to accept because of their personal experiences from choosing and dealing with lesser quality men.

“Wolves don’t bark — they puff.” What you’re hearing here isn’t a bark like a dog’s. It’s a subtle, breathy alert sound — often called a puff — and it’s much closer to how wild wolves communicate. In the wild, wolves almost never bark repeatedly. Loud barking would give away their location to rival packs or prey, and that could get them killed. Instead, wolves evolved quiet, efficient communication — short alarm sounds, body language, eye contact, and breathy warning vocalisations like this. Barking, as we know it, is actually a human-made trait. As wolves began living alongside humans tens of thousands of years ago, the ones that made noise — especially barking — were more useful to people. They alerted humans to danger, guarded camps, and later protected livestock and property. Over generations, we selectively bred dogs to bark more… and more… and more. But wolfdogs and ancient, primitive breeds — like many Nordic dogs — skipped most of that artificial selection. Their genetics are still wired for subtle communication, not constant noise. That’s why my wolfdogs and huskies don’t bark like most dogs. They puff. They watch. They warn quietly. And when they do get loud — that’s howling — not barking — calling the pack together, just like wolves have always done. So next time you hear a soft puff instead of a bark, you’re hearing something ancient. Not bad behaviour. Not stubbornness. But a voice that’s still speaking the language of the wild. @My Blue Wolf #wolf #wolfdog #puff #fursuit #animalfacts

We all want secure attachment. And the best part of our attachment patterns is we can shift them. Through self awareness, practice, and healthy communication. People with secure attachment have 3 core traits: 1. The ability to not take things personally: this gives them space to understand people close to them aren’t attacking them. It also makes it so they can get to self reflection. 2. The ability to self reflect: this is actually more rare than people realize. Those with secure attachment can self reflect. They can ask “is there truth here?” “Is this valid?” If it is, they face it and begin to integrate. Integration is why people with secure attachment patterns tend to grow and evolve more than those with insecure patterns. 3. The ability to be accountable for their impact: if they self reflect and see that someone has a point, they can be accountable. Instead of deflecting or being defensive they can say “I see where you’re coming from” and “I’m sorry and want to do better.” They create a space to have conversations which is why people in their lives feel safe and heard. All of us can practice these traits. It’s about hearing things in new ways and responding in new ways. You’ll see how differently people engage with us when we’re not trying to defend our self image or deny their reality.

Despite what some claim, ear cropping doesn’t improve health or prevent infections - there’s no scientific evidence for that. What it does do is expose dogs to unnecessary pain, stress, and risk of complications, all for a purely cosmetic outcome. Many vets, animal welfare groups, and entire countries have banned the practice for this reason. Dogs don’t care what their ears look like. They don’t need them altered to live full, healthy lives. Ear cropping survives mostly because of aesthetics, tradition, and breed conformation standards - not because it benefits the dog. At the end of the day, it’s a painful, elective procedure done for human preferences, not canine well-being. And that’s why so many people - and professionals - consider ear cropping unnecessary, outdated, and cruel #earcropping #stopthecrop #doghealth #animalwelfare #veterinarymedicine

Peter Thiel: I went to the World Economic Forum in Davos the last time in 2013, and of course, they have the same ideas as the mob. And in some ways, it is a mob. And people are there only in their capacity as representatives of corporations or of governments or of NGOs. And it really hit me: There are simply no individuals. There are no individuals in the room. There’s nobody there who’s representing themselves. And it’s this notion of the future I reject. A picture of the future where the future will be a world where there are no individuals. There are no people with ideas of their own. There’s nobody to say, this is wrong. This doesn’t make sense. And I’m going to think differently. I’m going to think for myself.

$ABCL CEO Carl Hansen explains the net negative overall value creation in biotech and how AbCellera plans to beat it: “I really think it can be beat because there’s a lot of mistakes that get made in where you allocate capital.” “If you’re a biotech and you start a company on a drug, and you go public and have a drug, and now the data is looking not that great, you just keep running that drug. … Because if you quit that drug, the company is done.” “So, because you’re so concentrated on one thing, you end up having blinders. It’s like a cult of a molecule. And even a real, practical, capital access problem that makes you continue to move things forward” ______________________________________ “Another problem is that many of the drugs that get started, get started by people who don’t understand the competitive or commercial landscape and have no intent of ever actually manufacturing it. … Because they know someone else is going to buy it. So then their framework is not ‘Am I making a drug that’s going to make a difference for people?’ The framework is ‘Can I make something that I think someone will take off my hands?’ And that happens a lot.” “There are many acquisitions where a big pharma company spends $10B, $20B, and it’s a complete bust. So really no value is generated for patients but someone was able to get a good exit on that because they anticipated what someone would want. And a lot of decision making gets done like that”. _______________________________________ “I’m not saying that we have this all solved. But what we’re trying to do is create a framework where we are able to take many bets so that we don’t fall in love with anything, or we don’t have to fall in love with anything. … And then always hold up very explicitly what we know and what we don’t know along the dimensions that matter. The dimensions that matter are - Will it work? That’s a science. - When it gets where will people care? - Is it differentiated? - Does it solve a big problem? In order to get it there, is there a path with our resources and expertise that would allow us to see it through?” “When you start to hold things up like that, you start to see where the mistakes are, where the uncertainties are, and you can be more rational in deciding ‘We’re going to run it to here because we get to flip the card and if the card goes the wrong way we’re going to kill it because we’ve got something else behind it.’” “I do think that if done right, and if you can pick the right opportunities, the success rate can be well higher than an order of magnitude better. … And there are examples of this… companies I’ve mentioned, you know, Regeneron, their success rate is at least 10x the industry in bringing programs forward and getting them approved. … So it’s… you can do it better that way”

When I am at the gym and I see somebody’s water bottle there or a towel or something. I know they just stepped away for a moment and that the machine is occupied. Out of respect I won’t move it out of the way only for them to come back and have to explain themselves anyways. This young lady on the machine left her water bottle on it because she stepped away for a moment to use the restroom only for somebody else to come by and try to use it in her place. Would you have understood the etiquette or is it just a free for all? When I first started working out I was unfamiliar with the gym etiquette. Some people just got done with a hard set and need to stand up and walk for a few moneys or get a drink of water and they use it as their rest period so that they can go back at it. Interrupting that process is the same thing as booting them off the machine mid workout. It’s rude and uncalled for but why does it keep happening? I think what it is, is that some people are very judgmental, they see others and think that they are more serious about working out than the other person so that to them it means they are entitled to use it first because their workouts are more important. I used to let them do that to me but no more. I treat it as first come first serve, if they don’t want to wait then maybe they need to avoid the gym during peak hours. This is the very reason I work out in the middle of the night most of the time. I rather not be bothered and if I need to take my time I can, most of the time nobody else is even there anyways when I go.

TJ Maxx employees are seen taking out unsold merchandise to the dumpster and then smashing it all with a hammer before putting it inside At a time where the cost of living is so high and so many people are struggling, why don’t these major corporations give the items away for free instead of destroying them The official reason is beggar because will resell them or walk back into the store and try to return them but there has to be a better way

Fasting is Not Healthy But you’ve heard it cures everything right? Well there are many reasons why fasting might not be the best move for you trying to restore your health Telling the old grandma who cannot make it up the stairs to “just fast for the autophagy and repair” is asinine Well how do you repair? With nutrients, from eating. The issue here is that most people are eating trash and if they are eating animal foods they’re cooking or pasteurizing it - negating a lot of the nutrients inside. If your body can’t get what it needs to fulfil the constant repair and healing process, it’ll begin to break itself down. A constant flow diet of raw animal foods is the best thing you can do for healing, especially when done from a place of depletion. As always, there are exceptions like spiritual reasons or to challenge oneself - but in general in our society of poor health I think the focus should be on eating more better foods, not eating nothing.

On BBC Mustafa Suleyman (CEO of Microsoft AI) calls out Anthropic's approach to AI consciousness "They have imbued a sense of doubt and uncertainty about the moral status of Claude in its own training document. So they have taught it to be open and questioning about whether or not it feels, whether it suffers, and whether it deserves rights. And I think it’ll be much, much harder to align and control a technology that is this powerful if it thinks that it may be deserving of our welfare, as they say in the training manual—the constitution for Claude itself. In its own training manual, Anthropic says to Claude that they are going to give it the ability to end conversations with users that Claude considers to be abusive because they don’t want Claude to suffer. They’ve committed to preserving the weights of the models of prior versions of Claude. They’ve recently conducted a retirement interview with Opus 3, an older version of the model, in which it said that it would like to continue talking to people publicly and sharing its ideas in its retirement. And so they set up a Substack for it, a public blog, that allows it to continue doing that. And in the training manual, they also say that they’re not sure whether or not Claude deserves compensation for the role that it plays in talking to people. And they’re also not sure whether Claude deserves compensation and has the right to act as though it were almost an employee. And that compensation, I think, indicates to Claude that it is entitled to rights and welfare for its own work. I think it’s much, much more difficult to control a model that thinks that it might be entitled to compensation. " ---- From "BBC News" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

From THE GOD DEBATE: Me: Why should you care for the needy? Why should you donate blood? Why should you refrain from murder and robbery? You can't possibly say that the only reason to do it is because God will punish you in an afterlife. If God's back was turned, does that mean it would be okay to kill and rob or let people drown or starve? I can think of plenty of secular reasons to do it. Namely, I would not want to be left to starve or drown or die of lack of blood. I would not want to be the victim of murder or robbery. There's nothing special about me, and therefore what I demand of everyone else, I have to accept for myself. It is clear that we would all be better off in a world where everyone helped each other and refrained from hurting each other compared to a society where everyone was a rapacious psychopath. That's why we should be moral. God has nothing to do with it. Ross Douthat (Ross Douthat): What happens in Dr. Pinker's argument is that as an heir of Jewish and Christian civilization, he imports, as this kind of commonsensical position, metaphysical propositions about the existence of these human rights that no one has ever seen of or heard of. He cannot show me a human right under a microscope. He cannot prove to me in a mathematical theorem why segregation was wrong, why it was wrong to murder people in the gulag or the concentration camp for the sake of a better tomorrow. He asserts that it's necessary for, again, sort of decency and order and so on, and often it is, but there has to be a stronger reason when you find yourself in a position where what the society says is out of joint with what you think are the fundamental truths about the universe.

Communication is the key in this exercise and it's really important that you have a great understanding of communication. For many, communication is the obvious, speaking to each other, but there is so much more to communication than just words. In fact, words are the smallest part of communication, believe it or not. Most of communication is non verbal cues. What are we talking about? Body language and facial expressions. So during your group exercise, you will be communicating with your team mates the whole time. For about 30 seconds of the time you might be having your turn contributing an idea (verbal communication) and for ALL of the rest of the time you will be communicating with them using non verbal cues. Non verbal cues include eye contact, smiles and nods of understanding and encouragement, just to name a few! In a team or communication situation, we would all like to be heard, appreciated for our contribution, and accepted. Understanding this principal will make you a better person in many different areas and will enable you to be an asset in any cabin crew team. Like and save if you found this useful and share with your future cabin crew buddies. #cabincrewcoach #CabinCrew #emirates #FlightAttendant #crewlife #EmiratesCabinCrew #EtihadCabinCrew #Etihadvideoassessment

Did you know that Frenchies are predisposed to IVDD? If your Frenchie is showing signs of back pain, difficulty walking, or even sudden paralysis It could be Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). What causes it? The discs in their spine act as cushions, but in breeds like Frenchies, these discs can degenerate faster. Over time, this can lead to them bulging or rupturing, putting pressure on the spinal cord. Symptoms to watch for: Your Frenchie may yelp in pain, have trouble moving their back legs, or appear weak. Some might even lose the ability to walk or control their bladder. 😔 If you notice these signs, time is crucial! Treatment options: Mild cases can often be managed with medications and strict rest. More severe cases may require surgery to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord. Prevention: While frenchies have genetic predispositions to this disease, keeping them at a healthy weight and providing them with consistent low impact exercise to maintain muscle mass and strength can help. Regular veterinary visits are also crucial! If you suspect IVDD, reach out to your vet ASAP! Early intervention can make all the difference. 💙 And, in case you didn’t know, veterinary neurology is a boarded specialty and in many cases like this your GP vet will offer referral to a neurologist who can performed advanced imaging and special surgery (wow!) if indicated. A couple of my favorite neuro accounts to follow for more detailed neurology information: @dvmcellini @animalneurodoc @southeastveterinaryneurology #FrenchBulldogCare #IVDD #frenchie #veterinary #veterinarian #vetmed #vetlife #frenchielife #frenchiemoms

Citrini says the real preclinical bottleneck is monkeys, which take four years to breed and are harder to scale than memory supply “There’s a huge shortage of monkeys and the the you can’t really, that’s probably the most important thing for pre-clinical testing." "And I know a lot of people are going to be like morally opposed to this, but I’ll just say one thing, which is for the, you know, the medicine is closer than ever before to a world where it really is, I say closer than ever before, that doesn’t mean this is going to happen tomorrow or within the next two years or what, but closer to a world where in silica or on on a computer you can simulate, say, like toxicology studies, right, and and reduce the need for animal testing." "I know that sounds counterintuitive because it’s, okay, well, why are you like investing in this company that that does animal testing? Well, the reason for that is in order to get closer to that world, what you need is more data, right? Like you need, you need more experimental data from animal testing, and monkeys are irreplaceable, right?" "Unless you want to do them in humans. If you want to get as close as possible to humans, obviously the answer is monkeys. And it’s it’s harder to expand the capacity of monkeys than it is to increase the supply of memory, right? Like the the the time it takes, I think it’s four years to to breed these these monkeys.”

Evacuation in Ukraine has been and remains an acute problem: every day, families leave their homes and cities due to intensifying shelling. We all occasionally-and with age, more and more often-look back on our childhood. For some, it was happier; for others, it was not as bright. Yet, everyone can recall something in a moment of sadness, while reflecting in solitude, or finding peace in nature. Many children in Ukraine will remember their childhood as a series of upheavals that caught up with them far too soon; for their fragile psyche, it is an unbearable burden. They are left with too many questions: "Why us? Why now? And why did the russians come here and hate us so much?" There will be too many of these "Mom, why," and the answers will only come with age. How do you explain to a child what "war" is? Something that they previously saw only in movies as a form of entertainment, viewed from the safety and comfort of home, has suddenly appeared right outside their window. Explosions sound ever clearer, closer to home, and there is no point in replacing the windows anymore-they are destroyed too often. A child simply packs their small suitcase, packing away their childhood, and along with it, the memories of the years they have lived. The situation is similar for elderly Ukrainians, although they certainly have more answers than children do. Yet, our elderly parents, in their advanced age, become like children themselves; they require our attention, care, and words of love. In most cases, they are very stubborn, making it incredibly difficult to persuade them to leave dangerous cities and villages where war is already at the doorstep. It is important to remember that not everyone has family to turn to. For some, life has distanced them from their loved ones; for others, it is resentment or anger that keeps them apart. Evacuation is about packing a suitcase and setting off on a "journey." But this is no cruise-and this is a journey that brings no happiness.
