Quite a bizarre conspiracy theory to have considering they aren’t even recommending killing the dogs, they say antibiotics solve the issue.
They’re advocating having more thorough checks at the border, and improving testing as it currently results in 50% of cases being false positives.
This disease is already widespread in some other parts of the world, there haven’t been widespread dog massacres there.
And for that breed that is to be banned, tbh, that seems wise. The UK had an average of 3 lethal dog attacks per year in 2001-2021.
That breed is a new import. In 2022 we had 10 lethal dog attacks, 9 of which were Bully XLs. In 2023, 100% of deaths so far (6 IIRC) have been from Bully XLs. Almost as if large, strong dogs specifically bred for aggressive tendencies and have the ability to overpower an adult male, with jaws that can break bones, will be aggressive and dangerous. Crazy I know.
Any dog can be trained to aggression, and several breeds can overpower an adult human male (since that seems to be your standard). Or don’t you have police dogs?
Observation isn’t conspiracy, my friend. But it’s your country. Do with it what you will.
Ahhhh ok. I’ll just train a chihuahua to kill then. Easy peasy.
Bit of a ludicrous comparison to bring up police dogs. Police dogs are trained and not owned by random people.
It’s very much a conspiracy lmao, you’re saying that this existing disease is related to the banning of a dangerous dog breed and that it’s part of a slippery slope to the government banning dogs, in the country with probably the highest dog ownership rate in the world.
And btw, we aren’t talking about training a dog to be aggressive - we’re talking about selectively breeding dogs to be aggressive. There’s a difference.
It’s literally happened before. Recently australia killed all animals at shelters due to covid. China killed all pets in cities during covid. There are other examples before covid.
Nah, it’s because the comment went from 1 to 100 really fast.
This disease isn’t known to be airborne.
This disease isn’t known to be untreatable. (Antibiotics FTW.)
This disease isn’t known to cause death.
This disease hasn’t lead to countless animals suffering in facilities underequipped to handle them. (Many people bought puppies to “help with loneliness” during covid, only to abandon them later, after they were all grown up.)
This disease hasn’t shut down multiple cities or countries.
This disease doesn’t threaten the food chain.
This disease hasn’t lead governments to mandate the general public to wear PPE.
This disease hasn’t helped overwhelm hospitals.
Could you please explain why you think this will be the same as what happened in those places during covid? The scenarios are very different in multiple ways.
Because it’s stupid. The infection isn’t dangerous to humans, it’s anywhere from symptomless to cold-like symptoms. It’s not super contagious to humans, and even if it were it’s not dangerous.
And the disease exists elsewhere in the world without causing big issues. It’s not a new disease, just new to the UK.
Are you referring to his handling of Afghanistan or something else?
Joe Biden announced he was “going to bed” before being cut off mid-sentence by an aide in a press conference delivered at the end of his trip to Asia.
Yup. He’s like 80 and putting him through jetlag isn’t ideal. I’d go back to bed too. Clearly to me though he was having difficulty thinking. Again he’s 80 and being put through jetlag. It’s insane to do this to any 80-year-old. He’s not the best president but it beats the shit out of any Republican Trumpers we would have got instead. At least he’s not actively trying to harm the nation.
It’s not defeatist at all. It’s how it is. Voting for a third party in the US is throwing your vote away. The only hope is that people campaign hard for a third party and everyone abandons one party for another. That’s the only hope and that’s still a 2 party system. It’s just a new party taking the place of the old one. Even then it’s an impossible task that won’t happen in the next 10 years.
Oh no I meant it more in the Rick and Morty shooting the insect soldiers in the first episode, “Rick you said they weren’t alive” “They’re bureaucrats Morty, I don’t respect them.” You’re just repeating lame talking points. But it’s OK you deserve the brain dead candidate you support.
I mean we’ve all seen it considering the leaked video of him smoking crack. Also apart of that leak were the emails to Joe asking for political favours for economic benefits which amount to corruption by Biden. That must be alien to you.
Well, despite the fact that I hate Trump, I think the Democrats are fucked by picking Joe Biden as the candidate for 2024.
Biden is terrible for the working class. He started his Presidency by going back on the campaign promise of $2k stimulus checks, couldn’t forgive student loans as promised, broke a strike which then led to multiple train disasters, billions in aid to Ukraine but lets the US crumble under cost-of-living crises, and generally ignoring the fact that he should be retired at his age instead of running this country is not helping anyone except the Right.
Biden will be the last Democrat President the way this is going. Pathetic way to go out.
I’m no Biden fan but the real problem is that many liberals especially younger ones read nothing besides sensational headlines and live on social media rage bait.
To say “breaking the strike led to train disasters” is so far beyond gross oversimplification it boggles the mind.
I’m willing to admit the causality is overstated, but he still should not have broken that strike. And, yes, I read the article and it is commendable that they continued to pressure the companies for sick days which they eventually approved. But an important question is: When did they grant it?
From what I can see, they granted workers paid time in May/June 2023. Better late than never.
But the Palestine railroad disaster happened in Februrary 2023. I’m willing to say that this event, in light of the lack of the strike, was what allowed for there to be enough pressure to make the train companies grant the sick days concession. I bet if it didn’t happen, there wouldn’t be sick days now. It would have just been better if the strike happened which could have led to sick days potentially without the Palestine incident (especially if they were on strike).
I’m no Biden fan but the real problem is that many liberals especially younger ones read nothing besides sensational headlines and live on social media rage bait.
Really? That’s the real problem, huh? Interesting analysis.
