My kids were doing a sausage sizzle today and offered a lady a sausage for her dog (always a couple that fall to the ground), but she refused saying her dog was a vegetarian ... can they actually be vegetarians ???



Dogs are shititarians. They’ll eat any sort of garbage they are allowed.

Even vegetables if push comes to shove.  OTOH I doubt very much it was the dog's decision to be a vegetarian.

Dogs are omnivores, so theoretically they could be vegetarians, but I suspect that the dog makes no such claim.

 

Edit: Snap!

I’m sure said pooch loves to dine on the very finest cat faeces. Such a protein rich delicacy.

Push comes to shove, yes, that is why they will eat darn near anything, however for good nutrition they should still get some meat.

 

Cats however, NO, it will kill a cat.

Never mind cat fæces. Years ago I caught our pooch chowing down on the solid contents of my kid's nappies.

Harsh. Most dogs want to catch cats and rough them up a little, not kill them.

…. except shiitakian dogs - they’ll eat only mushrooms.

Hell yeah! Dogs evolved hunting in packs to round up patches of grass to chow down on.

Must be the onion and/or garlic content, which is toxic to both cats & dogs.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them.

Dogs might have seriously screwed-up taste buds but, as we know, they have a phenomenal pheromonal sense. Just heard this story on NewsTalk ZB about dogs detecting the smell of ovarian and bowel cancers with 100% accuracy. 20 lab (no pun intended) samples correctly detected in 20 seconds. Truly wonderful. We can forgive their dietary habits if they're going to be that helpful to us.

 

(The woman being interviewed used the old Olympic swimming pool analogy. She said dogs can smell/detect one teaspoonful of sugar in two Olympic pools. Not sure how that would work because one pool would have the sugar - and the other one wouldn't. Perhaps she should have said 1/2 tsp in one pool. 😀 )

It must have been quite an exercise when they tested this. I guess they hired a pool - presumably after-hours when there was no-one there. Non-chlorinated pool of course - and they’re hard to find. 

 

Then they would have added the sugar and made sure it was evenly dispersed throughout the pool (not easy to do - got a few mates to swim around a bit to mix it up?). Then brought in the dog/s and got them to take a whiff - and give a woof.

 

They would have needed to do a sweep of the pool area first to make sure there were no cat faeces or dirty nappies lying around. And they also hoped that none of their mates had pee’d in the pool.

 

Pretty big job.

From Facebook. A pretty sick scam. A new low.

They mention a complicit DNS provider called "Jewella Privacy Services" which enables criminals and con artists. They had an office in Louisiana USA, but it may be in UAE now.

Irvine is in Orange county. It's political conservative compared to other parts of California, especially Los Angeles County.

Irvine California police rank among the worst in US police scorecards for police accountability. On the plus side, they haven't killed anyone for a number of years.

California Cops Show Off Absurd New Cybertruck With Music From Terminator Movies: Gizmodo

Police in the city of Irvine, California, released a new promotional video Tuesday to show off their new Tesla Cybertruck. The video is every bit as cringey as you’d expect, but there are a few details we weren’t really expecting. For starters, the new Cybertruck is only going to be used for the D.A.R.E. anti-drug program rather than as a patrol car. And, perhaps more oddly, the promo video uses music from the Terminator movie franchise.
