@TTExulansic Surprising to me that people have put more attention into this topic (it is a long debated topic in the dog training/breeding world) in regard to dogs, than to children.
@TTExulansic Longer exposure to gonadal hormones, regardless of reproductive status, was associated with reduced odds of general health problems and both problematic and nuisance behaviors. https://t.co/tswMZdEZey
@TTExulansic Clever Hans is a great example of what's going on. A new paper came out To compare health & behavior outcomes for dogs that underwent vasectomy or ovary-sparing spay w sexually intact dogs or dogs that had undergone traditional castration or spay.
@TTExulansic The challenge- until we contact the consequences for our behavior, it's hard to change our behavior. It's harder for young brains to wake up and make decisions abt how not to kill or injure themselves every day. Groups downplay consequences for control. I feel for these folks.
@GOPLeader How about actually doing something for a change? Accountability isn't healthcare, or tax relief (unless you get it for your rich friends), or better roads, and safe schools.
@TTExulansic Thanks. SS made it clear that blaming the individual/ourselves for how we learned to respond to our environment & experiences isn’t fair. There are young people who wld benefit from hearing that. SS’s story is emblematic of it. I hope it’s a much longer story I look forward to it
@GOP clearly you skipped school the day the story about chopping down the apple tree was taught. the moral of the story was you're not suppose to lie. google it.
