Not a whole wide world, not the whole universe. Just a part of it.
Bubble it off, flat earth style. Lots of dog villages.
Hear my prayer:
Dogs (and for that matter cats) evolved around humans. They're comfortable around us and seem to love us and depend on us.
So unlike a bird or a rabbit or a snake who are absolutely wrecked and not built to want to live in a little cage and be your pet, a dog, I think, is very happy around people and wouldn't want it any other way.
But there are issues.
They must be on a leash. They must use the restroom when we decide it's time or get the hint. They eat the food we pick for them. They want to chase birds and we yank them back. They want to run and sniff your neighbor, but people decorum says no. They want to explore next to someone's window or front door, and we pull them away. They find a chicken bone and we take it out of their mouth.
Even if you try to give them everything they want, there comes a point where they've sniffed the pole for too many minutes and you just need to move on. Our interests aren't perfectly aligned in this sense.
It's very clunky, and we ruin some of their best moments.
If we care about dogs, why not make it perfect? Build an environment that's inherently tailored for them, rather than logjam them into mainstream living situations.
Closed communities where dogs are free to roam.
Big communities. Maybe some smaller ones, some yuge ones. Everything is designed to be safe and fun for the dogs.
And if you live there you know it's a dog land and what you're getting into. And if you want to be a dog person, then you live in one of those lands.
No cars. (Or, the roads are walled off or the cars are self-driving and never hit anything.)
Dogs aren't leashed and "owned". They'll choose their people however they'd like. Maybe some would attach to one person, and maybe others would roam and freelance.
You should be in it for the dogs, not for your ego.
They'll have dog friends who they gravitate towards too, and may roam in packs.
Food can be grown by the AI robots, at ground level where the dogs can reach it.
"DOGS ARENT VEGANS THO THEY NEED MEAT". Fine. The robots will grow meat. Perfectly tailored, whatever kind of meats are best for them. But we'll give them some carrots too.
I'm not sure if dogs are good at self-regulating their food. We assume that they aren't, but also we don't let them try and learn and get used to it. Anyways, the AI could scan their pupils and make sure no one is overeating.
You know what else? The robot drones can scour the world for road kill and other dead animals, whenever it's a bone or an animal that's good for the doggies.
Delivery!!!
Can you picture the excitement, when the dogs see the roadkill bot circling above and coming in for a landing?
Epic.
Can we have this please?
We probably need the hierarchy to go away.
The dog's life is kind of a reflection of our life.
We too are tamed and managed.
I'll take all of the land they said, whatever hundreds of years ago. πΊπΈ πͺπΊ π¨π³ π·πΊ π¦πΊ
Ocean to ocean.
All the land is magically owned by this small cadre of people, because basically they say so, and it's now illegal to settle it. Unless you pay them (for unoccupied, unimproved land that nature gave us). π₯΄π₯΄
You need permission too. You probably need to explain what you'll be doing with this land, and it better not be anything weird.
NO you will not commune voluntarily upon that land. You will not filter and select for the people who most perfectly fit your lifestyle and visions. Feelings will be hurt. You will be difficult to manage and control. Anyone who has money to pay for it shall become your neighbor, and then you will live behind closed walls with televisions and rarely ever talk to each other.
THAT'S what a community shall be.
Pay attention to the rules. If you ignore them, they'll lock you in a cage and shoot you if you resist.
I guess that's kind of how the dog feels when you yank him away from the neighbor. He's used to it. He's adaptable. But it isn't right.
Yes please yes please yes please!!!!!
if I run around and live with the dogs, will u scratch my head? ππ

So you have no issues with dogs eating meat but humans shouldn't?
That's besides the point though.
I think I agree with you. Most dogs are pets by nurture not nature. If they were left to decide, some digs could develop real relationships with humans while others would definitely want to be left alone and/or hang out with only dogs
Is a world for dogs possible? Maybe yes (if Peta pushes it) but we've got enough real troubles already
Say, ever owned a dog?
More or less, ya. Dogs don't really have a moral choice or an ability to tailor their environment where they can grow lots of grains and vegetables. They just strike. And I think a vet would tell you they need meat and are healthier that way.
(Some people would claim that for humans too but they're wrong).
If I had a dog and research shows they need meat, I'd feed it to them.. but still I'd feel weird.
Almost like a no win situation.. they need meat to be healthy, but I'm kind of being not vegan to have the dog and purchase this food.
Here I talk about the robots GROWING the meat tho, like lab grown meat.
It dawned on me at some point that this is the ideal solution for dogs. AI grows the meat they need. And roadkill. AI finds animals that are already dead and delivers it to the dogs. That's the just and ethical solution.
For a couple years. Was pretty harebrained, it ended in controversy.
I'm babysitting a dog right now. I'm on the Rover app.
Taking care of them and then they go home and there's no commitment and you get paid for it is optimal asf ππ
Getting into the side hustles. I actually have a new blog on here about it that I'll admit is me within a day or two and then you'll see more, lol.
Why All Humans Need To Eat Meat For Health
Lol. That last sentence tickles

Like I said:
Not surprised that a website called "breakingmuscle.com" is one of those people.
Not sure why you're quoting the thing about dogs and linking this. When I said I'd trust research as it relates to dogs, obviously I mean good research that appears to be the consensus.. rather than swoldier boys who can't stand the idea of animal flesh not being a necessary aspect of a human diet and string a few fallacies and misinfo together.
Pretty sure the World Health Organization approves of a plant-based diet. (I wouldn't take them on face value either, but it means more than breakingmuscle.com)
