  • They were blocking a gate, disrupting other travelers while repeatedly ignoring police orders to move. They staged a scene at an airport, in a country still healing from the scars of ETA terrorism. Who thinks that’s a smart move? What’s the point?

    If you ask me, their best-case scenario was probably to provoke a police response, let the images of the confrontation go viral, and grab some attention. Well, the police delivered exactly what they seemed to want.

    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.

    In Switzerland, there was a vote on a petition requiring new houses to include solar panels. Conservatives opposed it, arguing that construction costs were already too high without such regulations. Instead, those same people want to build massive solar farms on untouched natural landscapes. To me, the reason is obvious: energy companies want to maintain control over a centralized power infrastructure. This way, they can keep charging us high electricity prices while pocketing subsidies for infrastructure projects.
