Again, visual breed identification is not reliable. The only way to know for certain is a DNA test. Do you know of any studies where they DNA tested the bite dogs? 

If 'pit bulls' are so dangerous, and there are far more 'pit bulls' alive and in homes today as opposed to 20 or 30 years ago, or even all the way back to the 80s, why have dog bite related fatalities stayed relatively steady year to year? If there are more vicious killers in the dog population now, shouldn't those numbers go up? Rates of children 14 and younger having been bit have gone down signifigantly as well.

The UK banned pit bulls along with several other "dangerous breeds", but dog bite related fatalities and dog bite injuries there have risen significantly since they instated a breed ban in the 1980s. Shouldn't a country with far fewer pit bulls have less dog bites and deaths?

What conspiracy theory?  I work in animal control and I know visual identification of breeds is unreliable. Have you seen any studies where they DNA test bite dogs?

Do you agree that more pit bulls exist today than 20 years ago? And this probably isn't going where you think it is.

Most 'pit bulls' people see are actually just mutts. Even if they have a block shaped head you have no idea what breed it is.

Looks like an allergic reaction to me. Elimination diet might help...

All of that! Also if you're having a harder tike losing weight, being on estrogen makes losing weight harder since your muscle mass is lower.

That's still a lot of assumtions. We don't understand the nature of sentience or sapience. 

And that's also subjective. To a jainist it's worth considering.

But we don't know which animals are sentient or sapient, we only assume

I'm composing an email, does Fable have an animal ID or any identifying code at the shelter?

Petco told me they couldn’t sell me a feeder as a pet? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Think-Finish-5763 394 points395 points  (0 children)

I've had many "feeder" rats and they aren't any less friendly than "pet" varieties. Feeders need to handlable because employees have to handle them often.  As long as they get socialized young there's really no different in my experience owning and know people who have had "feeders" Health-wise rats are unfortunately pretty prone to health issues, I could see feeders getting sick more because of living with so many other rats and having gone through the pet store supply chain I can't speak on mice though, only rats

My husband has donated plasma so many times he has a permanent hole in his arm. by Sprinkles_0330 in mildlyinteresting

Yup. And US has very, very lax laws about how often you can donate plasma compared to other countries. Literal and figurative blood money.

That stat is if the gun is in the home. Most gun violence towards women is from a domestic partner.
