Australian scientists have developed an injectable therapy that helps clear blocked airways in flat-faced dogs. Melbourne-based biotechnology company Snoretox and RMIT University have shown early success using the first therapy from a new technology, known as Snoretox-1.

How the fuck is that slop photo credited to RMIT University. Is that what you can do now? Create slop and claim it as your own? Fuck RMIT University and fuck Phys org.
Actually, yes. Since copyright doesn’t apply to slop, they can in fact take credit. Ethically stupid, but legally allowed.
I’ve read somewhere that some boxer lines are being bred with longer muzzles.
Just happy someone cares, but yeah cosmetic and backyard breeders have got to go.
Because of the adopt-first movement, backyard and pedigree breeders are all that’s left in the US.
What other choice is there in other countries?
Working dogs are bred for fitness at their task. Many of these breeds are now neurotic because they are without duty over many generations.
I’m sure there are still plenty of good working dog breeders on farms. But, I honestly don’t know who in the world is breeding dogs fit for house pets. Some of the Victorian era breeds had that goal, but have since drifted into… problems.

Or we could just stop breeding animals with hallmark genetic defects.
Why not both? This could help existing dogs live better lives.
This! There are breeders out there breeding pugs without these problems, the rest should be banned
This is good because now they can breed them with even flatter faces than before.
/s
How about just banning the breeding of animals that were designed to suffer?
Between the people that breed flat faced animals - including cats, to those that breed german shepherds with slumped rumps (the breeders call it a “show line”) that suffer from hip dysplasia - I’ve just got to ask… what the fuck is wrong with animal “afficianados” that support such shit.
I have zero qualms with a tamed wolf. Joint awo sessions after dinner. 🐺
The dog might be something like an accessory to them. They might not care for the animal.
Oh, that they don’t care for the animal - which is little more than a means to an end - is a given.
Just reprehensible people.
Prolly need to get laid.
By a human, to be clear.
But it’s so cute when they struggle to breathe!
Pugs’ eyes can also pop out of thier skull
So cute
That should happen, but it’s also good that vets are trying to help these disabled critters lead better lives. And if it becomes adaptable to some humans with disabilities, so much the better.
Would this be adaptable to help with sleep apnea in humans?
New laws against dog inbreeding?
