What features do I need to look out for to avoid adopting a pitbull-mix?

people who arent in the know think theyre special sled mutts

actual mushers use totally random mutts bred for health because ANY dog can pull a sled. huskies are just generic self sufficient dog: fluffy. like a GSP without the overly enhanced pointing (GSP admixture is common in working sled dogs)
>>
>>5065327
okay, and?
>>
>>5065327
Stop spreading this pornbrained myth. Huskies are way too small for that. A human woman has to be around 100lbs lean just for a tight fit for an average male (6"). Dogs are too small and it’s always painful and abusive to do that to them.

I saw an owl for the first time in my life recently. It was sitting in the hollow core of a poplar tree that had fallen over.
As soon as I stopped it flew away. Could have been a tawny owl, not sure

ironically vegans tendency towards pure symbolic logic divorced from moral realities most closely resembles how AIs think

saying "your reasoning is nonsense atop nosense, i will now eat a burger" is distinctly ensouled behavior characteristic of a true being in possession of the will to power and in tune with the essence of natural reality

Based and burger pilled. My 20 month old bull broke through my fence again. He WILL become steaks and I WILL be enjoying them with great savor.

If the slaughterhouse allows it I'm going to get that bastards hide turned into a rug for my living room also. It will be exceptionally comfy to eat his flesh atop his preserved hide.

When did these guys become so well known? I remember when I was younger having this book of weird animals and one of them was the axolotls and I felt so cool knowing this weird thing existed. But nowadays they seem to be everywhere, I went into a store recently and there were tons of axolotl plushes and merchandise on the shelves

I remember being flabbergasted that so many kids learned of these things through minecraft. Hell, when the lady presenting them for the first time said she "recently learned about them" it through me for a loop. Axolotls aren't ubiquitous, sure, but they've been in pop culture for goddamn decades.

Additional info: it entered by this kind of window while I was sleeping. Which is weird af because I only ever get pigeon visitors at this height, sometimes a crow, never smaller birds, and they never attempt to enter my apartment. This one was behaving like a panicked bee, in fact it seemed dumber than a bee. It kept smashing its body against the window that was left ajar and the window next to it, it didn't even react when I fully opened a 3rd window. I finally managed to let it out but dunno if it was fine afterwards. Is this normal trapped bird behavior, or was it diseased/blind/crazy or something?

Newly discovered species of elephant?

How come humans haven't bastardized cat breeds like they did with dogs?

This guy nails it too

Dogs have a high degree of genetic plasticity, meaning the genes that control their physical characteristics can be manipulated relatively easily through breeding. For example, variation in just a few genes accounts for most of the size differences between dog breeds

cats, not so much

would you improve its genes and give it the abilities that was born without? and is it abuse if you refuse to?
