How fashions harm the quality of life of dogs/Como las modas perjudican la calidad de vida de los perros

According to the genetic analyzes carried out by the experts, it is assumed that the dog and the human being began their friendly relationship in Europe between 19,000 and 32,000 years ago, through the domestication of the wild wolf, the hunter-gatherers of antiquity were profiling the character of the dogs that today keep us company.

Según los análisis genéticos realizados por los expertos, se supone que el perro y el ser humano comenzaron su relación de amistad en Europa hace entre 19.000 y 32.000 años, a través de la domesticación del lobo salvaje los cazadores recolectores de la antigüedad fueron perfilando el carácter de los perros que hoy en día nos hacen compañía.

Over the centuries, one and the other created a beneficial relationship for both, the wolves on the one hand took advantage of the remains of food and the heat of human settlements in exchange for protecting these settlements from other predators that could prowl around the surroundings of the towns.

Con el correr de los siglos, unos y otros fueron creando una relación beneficiosa para ambos, los lobos por un lado se aprovechaban de los restos de comida y el calor de los asentamientos humanos a cambio de proteger estos asentamientos de otros depredadores que pudiesen merodear por los alrededores de los poblados.

In addition to this, the ancient settlers were selecting the specimens for their characteristics, be it their meek character, their skills for hunting or for herding other domestic animals in a kind of genetic engineering that little by little was shaping the breeds of dogs that today they fill our houses.

Además de esto los antiguos pobladores fueron seleccionando los ejemplares por sus características, ya sea su carácter manso, sus habilidades para la caza o para el pastoreo de otros animales domésticos en una suerte de ingeniería genética que poco a poco fue conformando las razas de perros que hoy en día llenan nuestras casas.

But as the human being has evolved, the roles of these pets have been changing and what used to be a hunting companion, a guardian of homes or a companion of the shepherd in the care of livestock has become a mere whim of this overfed and more frivolous society with each passing day.

Pero a medida que el ser humano ha ido evolucionando los roles de estas mascotas han ido cambiando y lo que antes era un compañero de caza, un guardian de los hogares o un compañero del pastor en el cuidado del ganado ha pasado a ser un mero capricho de esta sociedad sobrealimentada y más frívola cada día que pasa.

But, it seems, since the British Victorian era, dog breeders have genetically benefited the breeds of dogs with more rarities and extravagances to satisfy the whims of the powerful, which led to breeding breeds such as the Corgi, an achondroplastic dog with the abnormally small legs but that was the favorite of Queen Elizabeth II.

Pero, según parece, desde la época victoriana británica los criadores de perros han beneficiado más genéticamente a las raza de perros con más rarezas y extravagancias para colmar los caprichos de los poderosos lo que llevó a criar razas como el Corgi, un perro acondroplásico con las patas anormalmente pequeñas pero que era el preferido de la reina Isabel II.

To achieve these results, the crosses are normally very inbred, with consanguineous specimens, which leads to congenital diseases that affect the quality of life of the animal, and now we are no less foolish in this sense than the powerful of the Victorian era, so the breeds of dogs continue to degenerate and with it their well-being.
Regrettable!

Para conseguir estos resultados normalmente los cruces son muy endogámicos, con ejemplares consanguíneos lo que acarrea enfermedades congénitas que afectan a la calidad de vida del animal, y ahora no somos menos bobos en este sentido de los poderosos de la época victoriana por lo que las razas de perros siguen degenerando y con ello su bienestar.
¡Lamentable!

Feliz inicio de semana.

Hi

But as the human being has evolved, the roles of these pets have been changing and what used to be a hunting companion, a guardian of homes or a companion of the shepherd in the care of livestock has become a mere whim of this overfed and more frivolous society with each passing day.

This is very true social media is filled with videos of how people are abusing their pets with so much make up and making them do so many tricks that could be dangerous.
It all looks so strange and harmful for the poor pets.

And they say to themselves they love animals.

Poor pugs are the worst example of this.

Hi, friend.

It is true what you mention, with the demographic growth of humanity they have put the lives of pets more in danger, many are used for their own benefit, crossings, events, treatment that are not suitable for it, other people use them for trade , if not for idleness they kill them without mercy for an innocent living being that they only take care of us.

Cheers
