Miami Heat basketball team to use Covid-19 sniffing dogs at games to screen fans

US basketball team the Miami Heat are bringing back some fans to its games, with help from man’s best friend. The Heat will use coronavirus-sniffing dogs at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami to screen fans who want to attend their games. They’ve been working on the plan for months, and the highly trained dogs have been in place for some games this season where the team has allowed a handful of…

If any of you can make art similar to this OR know who was the designer of this series:

Please contact Rogue Detection Teams as they are wishing to commission someone to make a similar poster on the topic of Conservation Detection Dogs.

Decked out in special boots to protect his feet from the scorched ground, Bear has been searching for koala...

Conservation detection programs (and similar working programs) are filled with shelter dogs and rescue dogs because it’s a quick and cheap way to identify suitable dogs:

Everything that made Bear the dog a terrible pet has made him a bushfire hero.The Australian Koolie has boundless energy, an inquisitive nature, intelligence and a great nose for sniffing out trouble.It was too much for his previous owners, who decided they could no longer keep him after he literally ate their apartment, chewing through furniture and walls out of boredom.

She said the characteristics that made Bear a troublesome pet are the same ones that make him a talented detection dog.

"A lot of those amazingly skilled dogs do end up in the pound," Dr Cristescu said."Finding Bear was very lucky for us and for him.

"He is obsessed with playing all day long, and we want to be collecting data all day long."

I super like Rogue Detection Teams, they post lots of information about their conservation shelter program and all the conservation work they do with their awesome secondhand dogs.

I post about scent detection activities somewhat more frequently than most dog interests for reasons. I don’t think I’ve ever pointed out there’s purpose to what I choose to share and not share:

I will highlight and promote (by sheer virtue of many many followers):

biosecurity dogs

medical detection dogs

conservation dogs

search and rescue dogs

blood dogs

(purely) bomb dogs

emerging detection dogs (e.g. water, metal detection)

sports dogs

rescue dogs that are employed in all of the above.

I don’t post-promote, due to the embedded systematic and structural biases that exist within the handlers/industry of these:

drug detection dogs

police dogs

military dogs

Due to a combination of human welfare concerns first and animal welfare concerns second.

It’s not up for debate.

For a basic introduction into how the drug detection are faulty (including the entirety of Utah’s drug detection dogs being called into question May 2020), click here.

Similar training bias and handler mishandling exist within police and military dogs - except significantly more weaponised and physically dangerous to people present.

For my locals - Australia doesn’t get off free, this is not an issue isolated to America.

And that’s on pointing out that I’m very purposeful on what detection stories I highlight because there’s a point where you get enough followers you have to be more thoughtful about what you choose to share and what you don’t.

#detection dogs #decided this morning that just making this decision silently doesn't really inform ppl #since u won't notice what u don't notice #Animal welfare issues are significantly present with these dogs #but i'm more focussed on the human welfare aspect for this particular purpose #but do not take the ommission to mean that animal welfare is not frequently compromised #and for the love of fuck keep your stupid #the dogs enjoy it therefore the industry is fine and unproblematic #rhetoric far far FAR away #such a shallow dismissal of embedded issues rather than addressing change #i know many of u are kids or super young adults so u guys #if not ready to think about it #save it for another day #but 30+ year olds need to get with it n stop dismissing embedded human and animal welfare issues because #of knee jerky PETA paranoia that acknowledging issues and working to fix them will somehow lead to all animals banned #and tbh honestly yeah some industries deserve a second look and consideration #like the active use of police dogs in amprehend-y maul the arms capacity #versus the detection i'm far more neutral on such as cadaver #pure-bomb #blood tracing #human rights #police brutality #white #blacklivesmatter #protests
