Dumped wildlife and
depressed and suicidal vets: excessive workloads and out-of-hours work, unsatisfactory remuneration, client abuse, and unclear regulations.A "report found a lack of consistency with local governments and unclear legislation had led to a public perception of vets as "the default drop-off location" for injured wildlife and other found animals, despite the responsibility lying primarily with local and state governments."
"Six of the 32 recommendations related directly to challenges faced specifically by regional vets, including an "unreasonable level of responsibility" for the care of lost and unowned animals, such as injured wildlife...Wildlife is one of those things that we're all deeply passionate about, that we want to help our native wildlife … but it does come at a strain in the cost to the clinic that is, at this point, not covered at all."
"Vets say daily abuse and a lack of understanding from clients are one of the biggest factors causing them harm." >>

Let them have dogs
"Forty-eight percent of Australian households own dogs; to those of us on the outlay for food, treats, toys, grooming, kennels, vets and puppy school, $500 seems like a rare bargain."
"Australians have always been pet people, but we are now living in the wake of a post-pandemic pet proliferation that between 2019 and 2021 raised the proportion of Australian households with pets from 61% to a goggling 69%, marking the largest increase in decades."

In #Canada, vet #consolidation has gone largely unnoticed amid a vet shortage and stories of vet burnout.
2023 report from the Ontario #Veterinary #Medical Association #OMVA said #CorporateInterests contol 20% of #VeterinaryHospitals in Canada, and estimates those chains employ about 40% of the nation's vets.

Domestic dogs and Australian wildlife. How dogs impact ecosystems
"There are five main ways domestic dogs can negatively impact the natural environments they visit. These are:
direct physical harm through predatory behaviour
disturbance through chasing and harassment
increased exposure to diseases
interbreeding, which can alter the gene pool of wild canid populations
increased competition for resources.We know dogs are capable of injuring and killing wildlife, but it’s difficult to determine how common this is, because many events go unreported. While smaller animals such as lizards, gliders and possums are at higher risk, larger species such as koalas can also fall prey to dogs.
One study that looked at wildlife coming into care at Queensland rehabilitation centres reported dog attacks as the cause in about 9% of cases. These cases often resulted in severe injury or death.
Wildlife harassment
You might think it’s harmless for your dog to chase wildlife if it never manages to catch the animals it chases, but that isn’t true. Wild animals optimise their behaviours to meet their needs for foraging, breeding and resting, and being chased by a dog can disrupt this.
For example, certain threatened bird species will nest on the beach and find foraging opportunities based on the tides. One dog forcing one bird to abandon this important activity may have a small impact. But if it happens repeatedly throughout the day, it can become a much bigger problem. It may even drive animals out of the area.
Research conducted in Sydney has shown the mere presence of a leashed dog is enough to temporarily, yet dramatically, reduce the number of bird species detected."

Does anyone else have cats who like to hop up on their home entertainment units and plop their furry rears RIGHT in the middle of the TV screen WHILE the TV is on so that they're 100% impossible to see around, or, more to the point, impossible to ignore?!🤣

All of these polls are currently pinned to my profile to make them easier to find. I may reveal my own "pet theory" (pun intended 😉) about correlations between personality traits & pet ownership but only AFTER these polls close, which is in another 2 days. Follow me for related discussion.

Just popped on here after 4 days of not being here and OMG, the introverted pet owner poll now has 200 respondents!!! Contrast that with the extroverted and ambiverted pet owner polls, which only have 12 and 18 total poll-takers, respectively. Why is this not surprising?!🤣

One difference with the current crop of polls is semantics, i.e., pet lovers vs. pet owners; pet ownership is a serious commitment and so that probably makes for a better test of my "pet" theories, pun intended.😉 #polls #poll #pets #petowners #personality #science #personalityscience
