Officer Myron Woodson of Sturgeon, Missouri, is under fire after opening fire on a blind and deaf small dog on May 19, 2004.
Officer Woodson was responding to the dog at large, who slipped out of the owner's yard - and thus slipping it's collar - earlier that day.
The officer came upon the dog, noting that the dog 'broke it's neck' (lol) and later stated "I’m not gonna let you bite me, you’re looking all cray."
After unsuccessfully trying to capture the dog multiple times, the officer debates wrapping the dog up in a towel before finally pulling his gun out and shooting the dog as the dog began to walk towards the tree line. In the footage a woman is heard coming out of her home complaining about the shots fired when she had kids with her at the time.
The 13lb Shihtzu mix, named Teddy, was owned by a Nicholas Hunter. According to Hunter, Teddy was 5 years old at the time of death, was born deaf but went blind a few years ago. As such, the dog tends to walk with a head tilt.
The person who called the dog in, a city worker that would like to remain anonymous to avoid being fired, noted several times they emphasized the dog was not dangerous and simply drinking water next to them.
According to Hunter, the officer said he did not feel like the dog was a threat but thought it was in pain and believed the best course of action was to put the animal down.
Later a Facebook post by the City says they believed that the officer acted within his authority, and that the animal was a rabies risk. The owner did say Teddy was up to date on rabies vaccine.
Firstly, bro, how bad can you be with a fucking catch pole? You literally had it AROUND THE DOG'S NECK multiple times, that's when you tighten it bro. If you can't do that, get a slip lead or a rope with a slip knot and use that instead. The dog does not have signs of rabies, full stop. It doesn't act like any stage or variant or symptom of rabies. He is very cognizant of it's surroundings, it's not ataxic, it's not drooling. It just doesn't look like rabies. Also my man, you're afraid of a *13lb dog*, are you gonna shoot a 150lb person if they walk around blind with a head tilt? The fuck. You could PUNT that dog.
TL;DR - >man interrogated for 17h straight to get him to confess he killed his father >Lied and told him the father was found dead with multiple stab wounds >included not allowing him to have his medications or go to a hospital >they brought HIS DOG into the room and told him the dog would have to be euthanized >They take the man out on a car ride telling him they were going to a hospital; brought him to his home instead and pressured him to say where he killed his father >later cops found the father was alive and visiting a friend >never told this to the man, left him in interrogation room where he attempted suicide >brought him to an asylum, where he still doesn't know that his dog and dad are still alive >they dropped the dog off at a shelter instead of with family, the shelter was given 0 info but were able to track owner down thanks to the dog being chipped
@Dudebro@tyler@ForbiddenDreamer I'll never forget when a cop was first trying to tell me about animal laws, completely incorrectly, and I thought I was going crazy. Before that, I didn't realize how retarded cops were able to be.
I never pay for reading material unless I absolutely have to. So I only read comics once a year.
Amazon has a bunch of free comics, I'm sure other online retailers have better free ones. Brick and mortar stores tend to have a few free physical copies specifically made for free comic book day; they're usually a lot shorter than normal, and maybe it's all comics nowadays but ime they've largely been LGBTQ and/or zombies.
I was disappointed to learn this doesn't really transfer over to manga. I wanted a free reptile manga.
@BigDuck@sickburnbro It's so funny, you have people on the extreme ends who both are incredibly against what Israel is doing. Like they could agree on nothing else, but this.
Weekly SQ injections of Ivermectin for 4 weeks usually does the trick. Some cats won't want to visit the vet this often, but it also takes application of treatment entirely out of your hands.
Prescription ear drops like Tresaderm work really well and is the fastest treatment, taking only like a week or two. But it's gonna be painful getting those drops in that ear, BUT it's designed so that you don't have to clean the ear after treatment. They DO have tresaderm and I believe some other otic topical drugs that are a one-and-done treatment of ear mites, I imagine it is more expensive though BUT the clinic can apply them for you :CirnoWink:
lots of fla/tick meds will actually kill and control ear mites. Basically any flea/tick med with selamectin, moxidectin, fluralaner, and saralaner will kill an ear mite infection. Chart related are some brands available; Keep in mind Bravecto, Nexguard, and Credelio are not labeled for ear mites, but they do kill ear mites. Most of these are topical. I would not suggest Seresto collars for this simply because there is a lot of human error with getting the right fit on and thus not getting enough of the dose, BUT it is a good budget option. These are one & done treatments (and preventatives), but you WILL need to clean the ears after treatment, or the build up of mite crap will create a new problem.
Don't get the no name or never heard of over the counter shit, it's AIDS and some of it like Hartz is well known for killing animals. Also be careful with counterfeits; there have been a lot of counterfeit serestos that are killing pets.
Then there are some over-the-counter treatments (again, DO NOT get Hartz), just make absolutely sure you're reading the instructions carefully and the product is labeled for cats. Many of these treatments are not killing the incubating mite eggs, so you'll need to continue the treatments for at least a month to make sure you scorch the ear canal of mites. So for example if the instructions are to put 3-5 drops in affected ears once every 3 days for 2 weeks, up that to once every 3 days for 4 weeks. I would recommend a good ear cleaning after these treatments as well to be on the safe side.
If you are bringing the animal to a vet, do not clean the ears prior. We want to see that nastiness. Also do not clean the ears directly after a treatment, obviously you'll be taking the meds out.
Also keep an eye on aural hematomas. I've attached some pictures of a serious case and a more mild case. It can happen with ear infections; they shake their heads and break blood vessels and the ear swells up. It's a rather painful condition that, if not treated, turns into cauliflower ear where the ear is all crumpled and covered in scar tissue. It is treated with the cat sedated, incising the ear to drain fluid and stitching it back up.
I love how the gorilla runs to show off their baby like 'Hey! I got one of those!'
I personally like how the gorilla kisses the baby on the head - did it learn that from watching patrons at a zoo? How many people are kissing babies on the forehead at the gorilla exhibit? Obviously it's not a natural extinct for them. Just peculiar.
This is called a crural hernia, or femoral hernia. A hernia occurs when a portion of the abdominal organs (usually intestines) protrudes through a hole in the abdominal wall. In this case, the uterus was torn and the tissue separating the thigh and abdomen broke (both likely via trauma), squeezing the kittens into this empty space at time of impact.
Good news is mother cat actually survived. Bad news is all of the kittens did not. On top of the cord likely being severed, they would have internal injuries and blunt force trauma on top of being premies. Even on x-rays some of them appear to be obliterated, so I am not surprised. I honestly am shocked that momma cat made it.
The Tapir is a curious creature with a prehensile snout found in Central and South America as well as Asia. Despite their odd looks, their closest relative is the rhino, and you will never be a real woman.
