Animal Breeding Horror Show - Featuring trendy bulldogs, exotic bullies and the dog cum cartel

‘No discernible nostrils’: Crufts in row over prizes for French bulldog - A row has erupted at the world’s biggest dog show after the prize for the best canine in the utility group went to a French bulldog that some have argued has no discernible nostrils.​

So I don't know how we got to weiner dogs being little demons.

In my experience Dachshunds are very aggressive to other dogs and have a very short fuse.

I had a few neighbors with dachshunds and none of them ever got along with anyone when walking. They didnt get on with my dog either, the minute they saw him it was immediate scrabbling to fight and barking.

I’m not an intelligent man. But looking at the poor things, I just know that they’re crimes against nature, even if I can’t pinpoint exactly why.

I present for your horror and amusement the naked chicken, bred in ((Israel)) to combat overheating in chickens raised for slaughter in tight quarters. The scientist that claims to have developed the breed claims they were selectively bred by crossing chickens that naturally have no neck feathers with regular “broiler” chickens. Apparently they grow pretty large since they don’t have to divert nutrients to grow their feathers but they are bad at mating because they need feathers on their wings to counterbalance during the act.

They are what pit owners wish their dogs were. Ferocious, loyal, and extremely clever, just without the pit retardation. So they have no problem squaring up to anything of any size but are also smart enough to not push it too far. They are also very tenacious. They are bred for hunting burrow animals, so their personality follows from that, how crazy do you have to be to want to fight a monster in its lair and win? They are also incredibly silly and fun to be around.

Behold, the bubbleye goldfish. Visually impaired and prone to infection due to the bladders being extremely fragile.

I have a better solution. Don't fucking do that in the first place. It's excessively cruel. I am not a vegan but holy shit, the conditions those chickens live in is horrific. Act like a decent human and at least minimize the cruelty of our carnivorous nature.

Dragonscale / Iridescent Bettas I used to love for seeming very beautiful but unfortunately they have a habit of eyes scaling over. This is usually not at all present until significantly enough into the fish's life that you would not realize what was wrong with your stock by the time it was already bred and sold.

The thing is that even the nicest types of these bettas that could go for 90$ or sometimes more would still have this feature, and I guess you could call it almost an immutable quality of the "iridescence" present. I feel like every time I learn more about fish breeding I have to blink a little bit to hold back my shock at the sheer level of inbreeding permissible. Fish is literally going blind, but for the breeder they would be less useful for breeding by that time anyways.

Betta fish and gold fish are truly some of the most unlucky aquatic pets out there (turtles too but idk shit about them).

I have heard rumors that some particularly ballsy hobbyists have made attempts to remove the scales causing the moon eye/crystal eye/snake eye/etc. through careful cutting, but… there’s a reason there aren’t many veterinarians that are willing to operate on such small ornamental fish.

And then there are also the people who will buy and/or breed betta fish with fins so long they poor things can’t move (“like swimming in a wedding dress”). But that’s nothing that can’t be solved with an exacto knife, right? And maybe a dose of clove oil, tannins, and methylene blue if the poor fish is lucky…

Bonus: there is an issue hobbyists have noticed with blue bettas from chain stores especially that has been labeled “graphite disease” because the fish begins to turn the color of y’know basically pencil lead and usually dies shortly after. Not to sperg too much on my first ever comment on here, but last I checked there’s very little reputable info on graphite disease and it seems to be a relatively new “diagnosis.” While I’m sure it’s possible these chain store betta fish could be so inbred they’ve created a whole new disease, I’m personally of the belief it’s just a new name for something that already exists like columnaris.

Aquatic medicine is… not a particularity thriving academic discipline

I know exactly the type you are speaking of. They're called rosetails, but this one adds insult to injury by giving him dumb ears (literally named dumbo ear betta.)

"Please put me out of my misery, fuck."

Spoiler: On the topic of why Bettas tend to be sick bastards.

To me that "Graphite disease" sounds a lot like fish TB / myctobacterium. OR even velvet disease, both can take months to actually progress to the point where you notice your fish is visibly sick. The first one I remember actually being able to make people sick, which is pretty concerning not only for us but our freshwater systems. Why the domestic pet trade for fish isn't as regulated as for food, knowing how much damage such issues have caused already, is beyond me.


The biggest issue with the storebought bettas is not really even their breeding lines (as most varieties were created with some combination of inbreeding,) but more the way they are sent to the store early on in their lives, usually from Thailand or Singapore. Then, they are stored in an international trade warehouse, before oncemore being shipped to their respective store. My experience ordering directly from the same sources is the quality of fish was just as good in terms of beauty, but in terms of health they did not fare nearly as well and often came with parasites or infections. They also came in a 2oz bag. Considering they are bred in pretty gross cramped conditions, it doesn't surprise me. I think that'd probably make it seem as if a fish just got sick out of nowhere, when in reality it could've contracted long before being cupped and then had to rot on a shelf before getting to a final customer.

They can also be retarded as hell. A neighbor had two and one kept eating acorns. It had to have emergency intestinal surgery twice at $3k a pop....

Still, don't fall into a nest of them. It can be dangerous.

The Vet we took our Kelpie to for emergency surgery (twisted intestines. We're lucky we noticed before she went septic) said that they had a bulldog who was a frequent flier. Stupid thing had a thing for eating rocks and even after it's owner removed all the rocks from the yard it started eating ceramics. I think they said it had been opened up like 7 times already.

What is with Arabs and breeding the most fucked-up looking animals possible?

I feel like i need to throw in here that arabs are big time into first cousin marriage.

What's the point of SMASHED and POUTED pigeons anyway? What does the giant vocal sack do?

I like the pigeons with the feathery microraptor feet.

Same shit as with overbred show dogs, all just for looks. I don't think these pigeons are feeling very well.

I think these were posted before ITT and i can only ask once again, what the FUCK is going on here.

If the ProJared/CommanderHolly/Heidi thread has taught me anything, it’s that anyone who keeps pigeons, of all animals, is mentally ill. It only makes sense that pigeon “breeders” are even more deranged.

Iron Mike is an avid pigeon breeder, too, you might be on to something here.

Yeah, i unironically think he's to gentle to do such things to animals, his preferred target for cruelty is other humans. Then again he did dumb shit regarding animals like owning a baby white tiger but there's probably all the coke to blame for this. Maybe i am completly off the mark because i just remembered this Tyson story:

“I paid a worker at New York’s zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin [Givens, his ex-wife],” Tyson once told The Sun.

“When we got to the gorilla cage there was one big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas.

“They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant.

“I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let me smash that silverback’s snot box. He declined.”

 

[VisceraNexus]

“I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let me smash that silverback’s snot box. He declined.”

There is something extremely funny about Mike fucking Tyson saying "I'll give you $10,000 if you let me punch that gorilla." I know it's mean and I'm glad he didn't, but that scenario is so easily imaginable.
