Pugs are not cute
Pugs are not cute. Pugs are malformed, inbred, sick animals that should never have existed.
(Above: pug and wolf skulls. Note the shallow eye sockets, crowded, protruding teeth, and short snout in the pug.)
Dogs pant to cool themselves. As pugs have practically no snouts, they have trouble cooling their bodies and they can suffer from organ failure as a result.
Pugs are often unable to breathe properly due to their short snouts and compact breathing passages. This inhibits their ability to do things that dogs like best - running, chasing things, playing.
Pugs suffer from a mangled jaw from which their teeth grow in all directions.
Because of the distorted shape of their skulls, their eyes commonly pop out of their heads. 60% of prolapsed eyes become blind. Eyes put back in the skull are prone to infection and the dog may need treatment for the rest of their life.
Their eyes are also prone to swelling painfully, becoming scratched, and being irritated by their eyelashes.
When excited, pugs are prone to getting fluid stuck in their throats, making them choke or gasp for breath. This is given the cutesy nick name “reverse sneezing”. [video]
As it can be difficult for pugs to exercise, they are prone to obesity.
Some pugs are born with their nostrils pinched almost shut, making it impossible for them to live without an operation.
The wrinkles on their faces will become infected without constant, careful cleaning by their caretaker.
About 64% of pugs suffer from hip dysplasia (malformed hip sockets) which causes crippling lameness and painful arthritis.
Pugs have a genetic weakness to demodectic mange (a pretty nasty skin condition caused by mites).
Their curled tail makes them susceptible to hemivertibrae - misshapen backbones which cause spine bending and instability, neurological disorders, back leg paralysis, incontinence, and pain.
Pugs are so inbred that a study of ten thousand pugs in the UK had the genetic makeup of only 50 individuals. Inbreeding means that defective genes are more likely to be expressed and passed on to offspring.
Necrotizing meningoencephalitis (brain swelling) is common among pugs. Dogs with this condition usually die within a few weeks.
I am so sick of seeing pugs being celebrated. Their small, squashed skulls, facial wrinkles, curled tails, and protruding eyes are actually valued when these characteristics are a cruelty in themselves.
Pugs are charming, sweet, funny little souls and they don’t deserve the bodies humanity has designed for them.
Stop celebrating pugs. Stop buying pugs.
let’s celebrate retro pugs instead
responsible breeders decided they liked the temperament but the health issues were a nightmare, so they fixed them, they bred them out
it’s retro as in before the muzzle was bred out
and look at them
the one on the left is a retromop and the one on the right is a (elderly) pug
they’re healthier, live longer and have all the pug benefits with none of the usual health issues because of the deformed skull
they have longer legs
making exercise easier, and yet maintained most of the pug looks, and yes, they have the pug grin
want a pug - get a retropug or retromop, a healther, happier, and possibly cheaper option
even though I love pugs, it’s important that people know this
Retromops are where it’s at friend. Keep 100% of the pug charm with 0%of the terrible unhealthy inbred deformity.

Geomagnetic signatures of nesting beaches predict sea turtle population structure
Results provide genetic evidence consistent with geomagnetic imprinting in sea turtles
Findings reveal a new driver of spatial genetic variation
Similar processes may shape population structure in diverse migratory animals
Frogs in Panama may be developing defenses against a fatal skin disease, a new study suggests.
It’s tough to be a frog once a killer skin fungus moves in. But, in Panama, the amphibians might be fighting back, researchers propose.
Matschie’s tree kangaroo [also known as the Huon tree kangaroo, Dendrolagus matschiei] is a rare marsupial native to the Huon Peninsula of New Guinea island. At an average of 20-25 pounds, these kangaroos are much smaller than Australia’s famous red kangaroos, and have a largely arboreal lifestyle in which they descend to the forest floor only to feed. This specimen and her joey live at Zoo Miami in Florida. Images by Joel Sartore.
“no homo” I whisper as I look at my garden of pea plants. The progeny had expressed a 1:2:1 ratio of phenotypes. I am Gregor Mendel.
Stephen Hawking’s passing is probably old news by now, but this stuff can’t be overstated. I truly think there’s something to be said about a man who saw our universe and our place in it through the most purely scientific lens, and still believed so strongly in optimism and love
Scientists have calculated the water temperature at which tiger sharks are most active and abundant.
Shark populations may shift range as the oceans heat up, bringing them into greater conflict with humans

But oil giant expects demand for crude to grow and not peak until late 2030s
To me the most fascinating part of the article is that according to BP’s chief economist, a global ban on single-use plastics would have a much, much bigger dent in the oil industry than electric cars (which would apparently have very little affect at all).
Really fascinating. And imho, just another reason to ban non-biodegradable plastics. And banning single-use plastics is a great first step, but we should be investing in bioplastics and other materials which are sustainable for use across the board.
Idk man u'd just think that spending 99% of our time together, going on vacations together, you inviting me to stay at your place every night and making me a key to the apartment, and following me to my job in Washington where we are planning on being roommates would qualify as being emotionally invested to some degree But when I call myself your gf (not even all that seriously) & u get mildly flustered about it damn that kinda sucks And it hurt even more when u spoke with ur friend on the phone and didn't even mention me. Actually you referred to yourself as being on vacation with "a couple people from work". Either A) u r caught up on your ex, and you don't want her to find out ur hooking up with me or B) U don't like me as much as you lead me on Idk man. It just kinda sucks to always be in the grey, but idk how to get out.

This was a really hard month, so many cool animals! But I think African Wild Dogs are awesome, so they won out!
