We actually need a “Not interested, this is AI” button or a proper AI blocker. The algorithm needs to learn how badly most people don’t want AI slop.

This is your friendly reminder that data centres don’t actually need water. They need a cooling system and are using water because it’s the cheapest way to do it.

There is a special place in hell for people who abandon senior pets at kill shelters or who abandon their pets on the sides of roads and highways.

Cute video of the day: An American photographer filmed a wolf begging for food from a grizzly. The gray wolf saw the meat and in an instant turned into a playful puppy begging for a piece.

BREAKING: Undercover footage shows the nightmarish warehouse cells where NYC carriage horses are trapped in deplorable conditions when not in dangerous NYC traffic.

These poor animals have a HORRIFIC LIFE of walking the busy streets , in and out of congested traffic in hot and cold temperatures. These horses NEVER touch grass, never graze in pastures and no socialization with other horses .

They have NO pasture for grazing and interacting with other horses as herd animals NEED to be healthy and they are denied proper veterinary care.

THIS HAS TO STOP. TAKE ACTION BELOW TO END THIS ABUSE.

Everyone can call NYC Council Health Committee Chair Lynn Schulman at 718.544.8800 and press 0 to leave a message to ask her to cosponsor and fast- track #RydersLaw Intro 967 to end this criminal horse abuse!

NEW YORKERS: please make a quick call or send an email to your own New York City COUNCIL MEMBER urging them to POST sponsor and pass intro 967,
#RydersLaw.

The cat had asthma so they had to put it in a special homemade device just to give it its nebulization treatment.

Hey everyone! Professional dog trainer and certified animal behaviourist here!
This is absolutely a very precious Great Dane puppy.

But let's talk about the thing everyone is confused about... His ears.
Ear cropping is a surgical procedure that involves cutting away the outer pieces of the ear (called the pinna) to remove the floppy bits. The remaining cartilage gets forced upwards using tape, bandages, and flat wood as support (similar to thick popcicle sticks). A process that is called "posting".

Ear cropping today is almost entirely done for aesthetic purposes, and there is absolutely no health benifits to doing it.
It had originated for breeds that were expected to face injury. Dogs used in dog fighting (which is now illegal) and less nerfarious things such as livestock guardian dogs.
Think of it like "No capes!" except the cape is two pieces of long floppy skin attached to the animal...

Do you know the breed Doberman Pinscher? The beautiful "Anubis" looking dogs? Well... What if I was to tell you they too are born with beautiful floppy ears!

Pitbulls and other bully breeds are all born with floppy ears. Dogo Argentino, Cane Corso, Mastiffs, and even Schnauzers are all dog breeds that are born with floppy ears but commonly get them cropped.

Ear cropping and tail docking are almost one in the same. There are MANY dog breeds that get their tails docked as well! HOWEVER tail docking has more reasons behind it than just dog fighting and aesthetics that humans place on animals. But that's a whole other topic...

I'm personally heavily against ear cropping, unless there's a medical reason that it had to be done in the first place, which is HIGHLY unlikely.
It doesn't help prevent ear infections. That's a myth.
Anyone who is comfortable doing, what is essentially, cosmetic surgery to their dog, while at the same time not being comfortable neutering their dog, shouldn't have a dog.

Ear cropping is slowly becoming outlawed in may vet practices. Please love your animals for how they are, and not how you want them to be perceived.

If you have any other questions about dog breeds or ear cropping, feel free to ask in the comments!

If the number of Dalmatians purchased after 101 Dalmatians and clownfish purchased after Finding Nemo is any indication, the fact that Scooby doesn’t have docked ears is SO important, you guys.

He’s beautiful, and I hope they just let him have his natural ears.

A dog was abandoned on an island in the middle of the ocean for six months.
He survived by drinking rainwater and eating crabs.
An underwater photographer spotted him and rescued him.
