If the stake is broken, I will leave it for you to play.” Why does the sentence “just because” sound so gentle, is there something heartless or callous here? What effect does death have on their hobby? In modern society, there is nothing more painful and terrifying than being bitten to death by a dog. But all are healthy dogs raised by owners. Raise without knowing how or unable to teach. This type of dog was bred for one-on-one combat, not as a pet. Some people use an excuse to raise a pitbull to keep their house, keep money … without noticing that sometimes they have to exchange it with blood, the lives of family members or themselves. If you only have a dog to watch and alert, there are many other options. Raising a pitbull is like keeping a gun in the house. But this type of “gun” is ready to take the trigger at any time. After a series of deadly pitbull bites, including the owner, despite being raised for a long time, raised from a baby … currently, about 39 countries have banned pitbull farming and a few other fierce dog breeds such as rottweiler, Brazilian clam, doberman, Tibetan clam, tosa Japan… Of course, crossbreeding between them is also illegal. Pitbull hybrids are said to have appeared in England since the 1800s for use in the violent recreation of bullfighting, and even bear fighting in the UK and USA. But even their homeland could not stand this breed. Since 1991, the UK has banned pitbulls after a series of unprovoked attacks on people of this breed. Between 1981 and 1991 in England and Wales, there were 15 pitbull deaths. In Vietnam, Long An is not the first place to record “rogue achievements” of pitbulls. In August 2018, the brother of a dog owner in Hanoi was bitten to death by a pitbull. In the same year, in Philadelphia – USA, a 2-year-old baby was bitten to death by 2 domestic pitbulls (there are 3 more in captivity). And in Virginia, 22-year-old Bethany Lynn Stephens was bitten to death while walking two pitbulls in the woods. When the police discovered them, they were eating the victim’s ribs… Mrs. Sandra Bowers Adams, 70 years old from Georgia was charged with murder while looking after her grandchildren but allowing pitbulls to attack… Many other cases were equally horrifying. . Pitbull is responsible for 82% of dog attack deaths in the US. Dog owners in general in Vietnam are clearly being pampered. The alleys full of dog feces in the middle of the capital are an example. There have been a few cases of people beating people to death over petty disputes around dog keeping. In June 2015, two families in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City were reported to have been described as having a “crazy fight” leading to the death of the dog owner. Reason: the dog defecated in front of someone else’s house. In March 2020, a young man stabbed a man to death and went to prison for 20 years from an argument due to being bitten on the hand by a dog. In May 2020, just because the barking dog startled two men in Dong Nai who were doing gymnastics turned to punch each other, one man died. We can see that people sometimes can’t even control the heat anymore is dogs. Therefore, besides periodic vaccinations, city people need and are forced to get used to muzzle and leash their beloved dogs. Depending on the dog breed and weight, the penalty is calculated. And it is necessary to ban the raising of some fierce dog breeds at home when we cannot have a licensing or chip-based process like other countries. In terms of infrastructure, the densely populated cities in Vietnam are also not suitable for raising large and powerful dogs. They always require a large enough space (garden) to operate, otherwise they will be stressed, becoming a potential hazard in the community. According to a newspaper report, in addition to innate evil, pitbulls in Vietnam often eat supplements or drugs to strengthen muscles and look beautiful. As a result, the dog is always excited, has an excess of energy, and is more and more ready to attack people.

The French Mastiff is a breed of dog that originated in France. They have an impressive appearance with a large, heavy, wrinkled head. Although very loyal and brave, they are the dog with the shortest life expectancy in the world because the intestines are very sensitive, so it can easily lead to death. Average life expectancy: 5-7 years 2. Chinese Hound – Pastoral dog Chinese Hounds have appeared for a long time in China and Southeast Asia, they are often kept in rural areas for the purpose of looking after the house and protecting the property of the owner. They are also very loyal and courageous, often accompanied by their owners to hunt, and can even help look after livestock. In fact, if cared for carefully, the life expectancy of this breed is very long, but many people do not care to protect them, plus dog theft rages in the countryside, so their lifespan is usually only a few years. Average life span: About 7 years 3. Great Dane (Germany) Different from the current characteristic that the breed has an extremely gentle personality, very shy, even afraid of plastic bags, in the past, the Great Dane dog was used to pull carts, protect, track traces. patch. Although considered very healthy, they often suffer from inherited diseases of the bones, lungs, heart and eyes. Average life expectancy: 6-7 years 4. Irish Wolfhound True to its name, the Irish wolfhound originated from its breeding purpose of hunting wolves, developed from hunting dogs in war and in everyday life. They are the tallest dog in the world, very similar to the Greyhound and very brave. However, because they often suffer from bone and cardiovascular diseases, especially gastric torsion, which is common in this breed, their life expectancy is usually not high. Average life expectancy: 6-8 years 5. Borzoi Dog The Borzoi is a Russian breed of hunting dog that specializes in hunting wolves, bred from a long-haired sheepdog. They were once loved by the Russian nobility and were often seen as gifts among the nobility. In Vietnam they are called poodles. This is a quite special dog in terms of personality, they are proud and especially loyal to their owners, quite discreet, quiet but also love to run. Average life expectancy: 7-8 years 6. Bern Mountain Dog The Bern Mountain Dog is a breed of dog originating from Switzerland, descended from wolves that were raised on farms to guard and pull carts. Unlike other hunting dogs, Bern mountain dogs are active but not too naughty, very friendly with people and other domestic animals. Average life expectancy: 6-8 years 7. Newfoundland Dog The Newfoundland dog originated in Eastern Canada, used for many different purposes such as pulling carts, carrying goods, and rescue. Therefore, they are considered “the most desirable dog breed in the world” and are also nicknamed “rescue dogs”. Although the Newfounfland dog has a massive, large body that easily scares others, the Newfounfland dog is extremely friendly and gentle. They also love to swim and are extremely fond of children. Average life expectancy: 8-10 years 8. Rottweiler The Rooster belongs to the Italian mastiff breed, often trained to become a working dog because of its strong health, intelligence, endurance and good fighting ability, and also has its own independence in character. In Vietnam, the Rooster is a favorite military dog. Average life expectancy: 8-10 years 9. Labrador retriever The Labrador (commonly known as the Lab), is a popular hunting dog in the United States and is often used to bring back prey to the owner during hunting. Their name is derived from the Portuguese word “labor”. On the body of this breed, there are still many characteristics of hunting dogs, such as very strong teeth, very large nose, sensitive to odors. They are very sensitive to eating, if the diet is not reasonable, they will lose a lot of hair. Their average lifespan is 8 – 12 years. The above is only information about the average life expectancy that these dogs usually reach. In fact, the true lifespan of a dog depends on the training, nutrition and care that people give them. According to Sohu

Variant B.117 was first spotted in London and neighboring Ken County. Photo: AP Researchers in Shanghai have traced the original evolutionary trail of variant B.117, which has caused a new wave of COVID-19 infections in several countries, according to the Morning Post. But they found no trace of it in virus samples collected from people around the world. However, when they expanded their search to animals, they discovered some of the original B.117 forms in dogs, including one taken in the US last July. Such precursor variants include most or all of the original variant B117 in the Canidae breed, and they may re-infect humans after a period of rapid mutation. ”, Professor Chen Luonan and colleagues at the National Key Cell Biology Laboratory, wrote in an article published April 16. The appearance of the B117 variant has puzzled researchers. After being isolated from two patients in Kent County, southeast England, and London in September 2020, it quickly became the dominant strain of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK and many other countries, at a rapid rate. spreads faster than previous strains. Some experts believe this variant may emerge from local communities under pressure from antiviral drugs used during the pandemic. According to a popular theory, it suddenly appeared in Britain and then spread to other parts of the world. But variant B.117 has nine distinct mutations, rarely found in previous human strains – according to Professor Chen et al. These mutations do not occur in adjacent genes, but spread across the entire genome of the virus. The likelihood of all of these mutations appearing at once is extremely low. The Shanghai team believes that the above nine mutations are produced one after the other. Their model suggests that the variant may have originated outside the UK and received mutations on a non-human host. Dogs are the most suspect, followed by weasels or cats. However, Qu Liandong, professor of virology at the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, who was not involved in the study, said more solid evidence is needed to support this theory. According to Qu, the strains found in dogs are not quite the same as the first strains identified in British patients. And although the number of genome sequences that researchers have globally reached in the hundreds of thousands, it is still small compared to the total number of patients there. If the dog is to be a host, “we’ll have a big problem.” Photo: AP Professor Qu, who studies infectious diseases in humans and animals, said that if pets like dogs become hosts, “we will have a big problem”. “Nearly all of our measures against the pandemic so far have taken into account people only. If the animal was involved, it would completely change the ‘game’, he said. When bird flu breaks out on a chicken farm, all chickens there must be destroyed, according to standard worldwide practice. If the disease can infect humans, all susceptible animals – including healthy ones – must be disposed of in the affected area. Dogs are close companions for humans, but if they are proven capable of carrying or creating mutant variants of the Sars-CoV-2 virus, they can also be destroyed, Professor Qu said. An alternative solution is to vaccinate animals. “But we can’t give the dogs human vaccines. We may need to develop some completely new versions. We have had a hard time vaccinating humans. How can the program be extended to both dogs or other animals? ”- Professor Gu raised the problem. There is growing concern that the B.117 variant could make dogs very ill. Veterinarians near London noticed a sudden increase in pets – including dogs and cats – with myocarditis earlier this year, and many of these animals tested positive for variant B. 117 – according to a Reuters report in March 2021. Another problem is, humans and animals have different immune systems and it is often difficult for viruses to spread from one species to another. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is thought to have originated in bats, but it can take decades to adapt to humans. When and where it made the animal-to-human transition is still unclear. Professor Chen’s team said that variant B.117 has a unique evolutionary strategy of increasing infectivity, so it can spread more easily from host to host, but at the same time reducing the number of copies it makes in the host. The researchers believe that whether this strategy helps variant B.117 overcome the species gap requires further study.
