PSA, don’t feed ducks bread.
TBH, don’t get purebreed dogs either. Purebreed is basically “heavily inbred”, and they’re often the ones with the most health problems as a result.
There are heritage and preservation breeders that do try to breed healthy, genetically diverse animals.
As society has found out time and time again, a prohibition does not solve the issue. Education, harm reduction, and sourcing from ethical sources will work best.
Certain breeds would die out without heritage and preservation breeders. These types of breeders basically live and breathe their animals.
I loosely know a few and they are always rescuing animals, doing breed education, etc.
Just saying “don’t buy from breeders” won’t ever fully work. We have to come up with a better solution.

And that would be great.
The hard question: Why do we need to preserve these breeds, other than “it would be a shame”?
because they have uniqe traits. there are dogbreeds for specific type of work. Mixed-breed dogs can sometimes be less predictable and harder to train/work with, people look for specific breeds that fit their profession and lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong, mixed-breed dogs are wonderful, but let’s not demonize breeding. There are good reasons why it was started in the first place.
thats not true in general: it depends heavily on the breed, the region, and the breeding association and/or breeder. In any case, you should always do your research before buying a puppy. Purebred dogs typically come with a pedigree certificate, which includes information about the inbreeding coefficient and hereditary diseases in the family line.
please dont buy from mass breeders, dont support “cruelty” breeds. if a breeder sells you a puppy right on the spot go away. Serious breeders carefully select the families for their puppies and usually want to get to know you over multiple visits.
”But Oliver here won best in show!”
Does a purebred dog contain the nutrients they need?
My sudden dyslexia: PSA, don’t fuck duck feed.
lol, that’s such a dumb silly joke that made me laugh out loud xD
Damn, I first thought the goose had a piece of the dog’s intestines hanging out of its mouth at first…
Took a moment until I realized the comic is not quite as dark ;-)yet

A short film I just worked on used this joke too
