Recently, there was a hot search on Weibo called #Dog World Immortal Beauty Value#. And one of the dog photos won more than 100,000 likes.
The dog on the picture is called the King Charlie Hound, with big round eyes and big ears like a small flying elephant, is it beautiful in the sky?
However, behind this beauty, there is great pain...
The King Charles Hound was originally a local Spanish and French hound, and the breed at that time was called charles long-haired drooping eared dog.
They have an excellent sense of smell and movement, and are good at hunting in various terrains.
Because of their sweet looks, they were dedicated to King Charles I of England in the 16th century. Since then, it has become a popular pet of the royal family, and has the reputation of the knight King Charlie Hound.
However, the British nobility did not need dogs to hunt, in order to make the King Charles Hound more cute. The British aristocracy began to interfere in its breeding process.
Beginning in 1928, the British, who lacked entertainment life, established the Charles Hound Club, and the kennel began to breed a large number of purebred King Charles Hounds, resulting in 30% of all King Charles Hounds now suffering from a terrible genetic disease - syringomyelia.
This disease is because the dog's brain bone is too small to hold the brain tissue, and the brain tissue is compressed for a long time to damage the brain nerves. When a seizure occurs, it is like tucking an adult's foot into a baby's shoes, which can torture a dog to death.
The only way is to remove part of the brain bone, reducing the compression of the cranial nerves. But the risk of surgery is extremely high, and 70% of dogs will not survive for more than 1 month.
Scary? And that's just the tip of the iceberg we're seeing...
The British BBC documentary "Thoroughbred Dog Exposure" exposes people's crazy attachment to dog purebred in the past hundred years. There are about 500 genetic defects in purebred dogs, and almost all purebred dogs have health risks.
In order to make the Minotaur more individual, humans have changed their facial morphology, causing the Minotaur to suffer from rear-end obsessive-compulsive disorder, often biting their tails.
In order to make dachshunds more distinctive, humans have changed the ratio of their leg length to body length, resulting in dachshunds being susceptible to intervertebral disc diseases.
In order to make pugs have more wrinkles, humans change the position of their nasal cavity, making pugs susceptible to airway obstruction.
In order to make Demu look larger and with wider ears and wider silhouettes, humans changed the downward curve of their backs and the changes in their hind limbs. As a result, Demu is more susceptible to hind limb lesions, and is a patient with ataxia with bucket chest and sloped back.
The number of such cases is not very numerous:
Labrador is susceptible to eye diseases and joint problems,
Springer dogs have to endure the pain of enzyme deficiency;
30% of Damai Town dogs will lose hearing in both ears;
The size of the pit bull is unable to give birth naturally;
......
90% of the world's purebred dogs are because humans feel good-looking, thus interfering in the normal breeding of dogs, and artificially "creating" so-called purebred items.
If you really love dogs, don't care too much about so-called purebreds.
Dogs are life rather than products, and there is no standardization and advantages and disadvantages. Born equal, whether purebred or stringed, they all have the right to live.
As a qualified shoveler, as long as the hairy children in the family are healthy and healthy
Don't let human beings suffer this kind of suffering for generations because of their blind pursuit!
