    Given that I have over 30 years in various aspects of animal science, yes. I actually do know what I’m talking about, because my perspective comes from actual lived experience and not memes.

    But I’ve seen you post in Lemmy multiple times, and every time you fail to grasp that you don’t know everything.

      I don’t know most things and I grasp that very well.

      I do know that saying that people who perpetuate dog inbreeding for money are ethical is a bit silly though.

        “Dog inbreeding” just shows how little you know. Ethical breeders make careful selection of their breeding pairs. It’s far better than letting health issues perpetuate wildly. And ethical breeders don’t tend to make much, if any money off of it, either. They tend to do it for love of the history and purpose of the breed.

          The idea that any pure dog breed is not inbred is laughable. If you have the animal expertise you claim, you would know that. Incidentally, the fact that you refuse to say which breed you’re talking about is quite suspicious.

          But go ahead, tell me the inbreeding coefficient of the breed you’re talking about. Let’s see some evidence to back it up.
