Well, Bengals you see getting sold to people are F5 generation or above- so they're at maximum 1/32 wildcat. They're the cat equivalent of Elizabeth Warren or that one white girl you knew at school who got a tattoo and claimed she was in tune with the earth because she was Cherokee.
That dog isn't nearly as fucked as some of the other dogs ITT, but it still looks pretty fucked up. And yeah, there's no reason to crop the ears of a non-working dog.
I think it may differ in Russia, googling yielded people claiming they were re-adding entire leopards into the lines as the breed was growing popular here. And they do not even cost that much, so it may be true.
Russian here. When I was a kid I was friends with a girl who had a pedigree bengal cat. I don't know how much of a wildcat that cat had in her genes, but it was uncontrollable, almost feral and bit several people. The girl lived in a small appartment and the cat was clearly uncomfortable living in it because the space was too small. Once the bengal actually escaped through the window and got injured and after that the girl's family rehomed that cat.
You reminded me of that dude in Japan who keeps two pet otters. Supposedly, the critter is happy - on camera but it's still a wild animal.
I also noticed a ton of breeders here doing this nonsense. I think just like the smashed and slammed dogs, it's all about stupid photos for the internet. Really ruins the point of a Bengal, which is a wild looking cat that is virtually a standard cat. Even worse was idiots mixing them with Toygers, an entirely domestic breed that just has neat stripes. What's the point in ruining that? Especially when Toygers are already rare.
I've noticed that Russians tend to be deranged when it comes to social media influencer pet content. There are a couple cases like Messi or Luna where there's a family taking care of a special needs animal who wouldn't have survived in the wild or lived a decent life otherwise, but most of the time it's some girl keeping a wild animal in an apartment for clout.
Pigeon breeding is WILD. absolute monstrosities some of them.
If only we looked at miscegenation the same way.
My grandfather did have a good retired goldie police dog from his son but I think that is a good law.
I can't believe people would make serious decisions over a stupid meme.
in some areas there are so many stray cats that they cover some of the potential demand for adopting cats.
my guy is like that
Same thing happened to my cousin. Followed him home from school one day, all the way into the house. Despite how cringe-worthy some cat owner sayings are, there's a reason why there are sayings like "you don't adopt a cat, a cat adopts you".
Don't look now, but you adopted that cat. Or vice-versa if you already bought the coffee mug that says "WHO RESCUED WHOM"
I always thought those vests were for like hawks, owls and eagles?
Holy shit, the wife cheated on him with an orc. I know a half-orc when I see one.
That horse looks like someone took a blow to the head then tried to draw a horse from memory.
Spot on when you said they probably shouldn't be dog owners. 80$ isn't even that much in the grand scheme of shit, like what? two to three big bags of good dog food? Any time I see someone with an unfixed dog they give "uhh... reasons." as to why they won't neuter them, I half expect they might be a furry doing greasy shit to or with the dog.
Same situation where I am, and it's been like that for years. About 6ish years ago my mom had a spat with a coworker who ended up dumping a pregnant cat on her property. She took the cat in with the intent to either get it to a shelter or wait till it gave birth and get it spayed. No shelter within like a 2 hour drive would take it, and my mom ended up getting the mother fixed and adopted it out to a friend of her's once the kittens were weened and got the kittens fixed when they were old enough to keep them. All five cats are doing fine.
Holy ol' fuck, that looks like a cartoon. I swear it's going to raise it's wings into fists and tell me to "Put 'em up, bruv'"
idk who the bigger niggers are: them for mistreating these poor things, or me for coming back repeatedly and expecting something to laugh at
You will never look like a thug carrying around a tiny Frenchie that looks like it's melting.On top of that, velvet, hairless and big rope Frenchies were on full show case with plenty of hood niggasyelling “days fiyah fammmm!”
There was also several people playing dice/gambling at the show.
The eyebrow dog with horrible eyes caused a huge commotion, people loved it.
Amazingly, afaik, no brawls though and nobody managed to get their dogs stolen/gambled away…so win?
Gawt dang...they do say dogs often look like their owners but this shit is uncanny.
