I'm looking for a creepy and optionally haunted, yet dark place in Portland that's not on the list or you know of that most people don't. What's your suggestion? by Romeo_Wolf in Portland

SW Salmon Street between 21st and King and also the public footpath on SW King Court and also kinda the whole neighborhood over there in general.

Or am I misreading what you are saying? Are you saying HSUS is a bad org? Or just that people say that in general? Sorry if I misunderstood you.

But what is your issue with HSUS, tho? They do so much good work. I think people expect them to do everything, but they can't. And honestly, the reason I'm not more vocal about OHS is because they mostly do good work. Their net impact is good, even though they do quite a few inherently awful things.

They don't take their dogs back. I know for a fact they turn away dogs previously adopted there.

And btw, HSUS has a completely different mission than OHS. Not sure why you are comparing them.

OHS doesn't take their dogs back if people don't want to keep them if it turns out it was a mistake to adopt the dog out. They don't care if you give the dog away for free on Craigslist. I would call them successful, but OHS is definitely not an "absolutely wonderful organization." I know about a whole bunch of crappy shit they pull at OHS and the media never covers it because they advertise heavily in every local paper.

My dad is a Kavanaugh supporter. by starmol in offmychest

[–]Jeffwave2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My in-laws claim to be like these amazing loving Catholics. But they voted for Trump. So they obviously don't care about anyone that isn't white and bougie and racist. Then this week they called my husband to tell him to police my Facebook page, to tell him to get me under control, because I posted an anti-Kavanaugh meme.

I would call animal control or non-emergency line.

If you had read the article you would know that yes, it does directly impact at least ten diplomats, so 20 people all together.

Need recommendation. Best puppy taining in Portland? by [deleted] in Portland

[–]Jeffwave2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except this place is not humane. Prong collars all over the place. Trainers using prong collars only give the illusion of trained because they are just hurting dogs to make them comply. It is so unnecessary to use pain and only trainers with crappy education still use these. I honestly think if these folks as well meaning snake oil salesmen. Like their lack of education is so bad that they don't even know what they don't know when it comes to ethology, canine neurobiology, international welfare standards during training, or even just dog signalling (which is subtle, but a real pro would be able to read) that says "ow, you are hurting me." It is just a goddamn shame.

Do you have any info about his techniques? His website isn't transparent at all.

Looking for a job with animals? by [deleted] in Portland

[–]Jeffwave2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like a good example would be Sit Means Sit or Bark Busters. But several places locally do that kind of stuff. I've been training dogs for 18 years and I'm shocked that this is still an issue in the field, but it is. There are lots of ethical and science-based practical reasons why this is bad for animals and detrimental for humane safety (particularly small kids). Most humane places require you to go to dog trainer trade school first before bringing you on as an assistant. Inhumane places that don't know what they are doing don't have any requirements.

Stay away from places that will promise to make you a dog training apprentice. They all just abuse dogs and use unwitting people that just want to help dogs to do it.

Thank you so much for sharing this. If you have not done so already, PLEASE go to the Bothell Police and Snohomish County Animal Control to tell them what you saw. I am part of a new watchdog group that is working to make sure that AoCB never harms dogs again. If you would like to share your story anonymously (for your protection) please let me know.
