I always love this stuff, even if it's unrealistic.
Remember this Human Dog that was making the rounds years ago?
I always wonder what a cat dog would look like, or a bird bat, maybe even a fish man would look like.
How would such creatures adapt, what new niches would be formed.

Most animals have a hard time scratching the base of their tail: can't reach it with claws, can barely reach it with teeth. If they get an itchy spot there due to fleas or mites or whatever, they can't scratch it very well. Good thing humans like to pat and scratch as many critters as possible.

The British pet massacre was a week-long event in 1939 in which an estimated 400,000 cats and dogs, a quarter of England's pet population, were killed in order to prepare for World War II food shortages.

In 1939, the British government formed the National Air Raid Precautions Animals Committee (NARPAC) to decide what to do with pets before the war broke out. The committee was worried that when the government would need to ration food, owners would decide to split their rations with their pets or leave the animals to starve. In response to that fear, NARPAC published a pamphlet titled "Advice to Animal Owners." The pamphlet suggested moving pets from the big cities and into the countryside. It concluded with the statement that "If you cannot place them in the care of neighbours, it really is kindest to have them destroyed."[3] The pamphlet also contained an advertisement for a captive bolt pistol that could be used to kill the animals humanely.

When Neville Chamberlain announced on 3 September 1939 that Britain had declared war with Germany, many pet owners flocked to pet surgery clinics and animal homes to kill their pets.[4] Many veterinarian groups such as the PDSA and the RSPCA were against these drastic measures, but their hospitals were still flooded with pet owners in the first few days. PDSA founder Maria Dickin reported: "Our technical officers called upon to perform this unhappy duty will never forget the tragedy of those days."[5] Hilda Kean wrote that lines for London clinics stretched a half mile. The event triggered a shortage of chloroform and a waste management challenge.[2]

A year later, when London was bombed in September 1940, even more pet owners rushed to kill their pets. "People were worried about the threat of bombing and food shortages and felt it inappropriate to have the 'luxury' of a pet during wartime".[5]

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, against the trend, managed to feed and care for 145,000 dogs during the course of the war and provided a field in Ilford as a pet cemetery, "where about 500,000 animals were buried, many from the first week of the war".[6] A famous opponent of pet culling was Nina Douglas-Hamilton, Duchess of Hamilton, a cat lover, who campaigned against the killing and created her own sanctuary in a heated hangar at Ferne.

what, the chicken specifically? what about all the other birds?

I don't like when people say birds "are" dinosaurs. It triggers my jimmies.

The main difference as a layman is that dinosaurs have teeth and birds don't. I think that's a pretty good distinction.

It's like humans are not apes, because apes are hairy. It's not a scientific distinction maybe but a linguistic one.
>>
>>4800346
I do think that scientists, especially some palaeontologists, need to improve their science communication skills to get the public on-board with their discoveries (the more the public cares the more funding you get). But birds ARE dinosaurs, same as humans ARE apes. Why lie to the layman? People can grasp these concepts.

I'm going to be puppy raising a guide dog. Getting it this week.
Any tips/expectations/etc I should be aware of that they might not have already told me?

I'm having trouble letting my whippet pup (8 mo) off lead on the beach ever since a big black whatevershitdoodle chased her into the sea when she was 4 months. She is visibly stressed out now near the sea and I am sure that if I let her off lead she will run off, back to the promenade where there is traffic, so I haven't had the courage to do so. I tried a 30 m lead before but she is continupusly at the end of it, pulling to go away from the sea. I took her mom along this morning thinking it would give her confidence since her mom absolutely loves the beach and runs and plays but it didn't matter. The fuck do I do about this? She doesn't show interest in very high value treats (sausage pieces) nor in toys because she is too stressed. I'm pretty knowledgeable about dog behaviour/training usually but I'm at a loss with this. I have other options to let her run safely but the beach has always been perfect for my other 5 sighthounds, and they all were/are very reliable in their recall. Would suck a whole lot if she can never be let off lead on the beach
It also doesn't help that this morning some fat bitch let her deformed asshole shepherd semi-aggressively charge at my dogs from a few hundred meters away when I was walking back to the promenade and they were already on the lead. The mom of my puppy wasn't having that and barked to chase the shepherd off so that wasn't a good association with the beach for the puppy either and I am pissed about that.
>>
>>4800276
>neat. the guide dog is for you?
No, I just help raise it while it's a puppy and teach it good manners, take it to training etc. Once it's around 14 months old it'll be tested and if it's suitable it'll become a guide dog, secondary pathways are other kind of assistance dogs like therapy dogs etc. If it doesn't have a temperament suitable for any job then it can become a pet.
I was thinking more like general puppy things. I've only had adult dogs before

I found a small frog in a well today. It had no vestigial tadpole features, but it refused to move when placed on the ground. When I put it in the old bath we currently use as a water reservoir, it was much more vigorous, but it didn't resurface and ended up hiding under the stone on the bottom. Is it normal frog behaviour? It was early evening, and the frog was most likely a common brown frog. I get it, frogs like water and darkness, but it was weird that it didn't move on land. Could it be some freaky amphibian that has fully adapted to living in a dark well? Should I throw it back into the well tomorrow if it's still around?
