That's such a fucked up thing to do to make dogs that are as aggressive as possible. These are not going to be happy animals.
Making aggressive war dogs is something humanity tried before. Mastiffs and Chow Chows are two examples. They often attacked and killed their human masters. Really I think we should extinct the practice of training attack dogs. In US police action they're abused to escalate to violence quicker than an officer would resort to firearms. Armored dogs in war would be responed to like mechanized armor. A dozen of my cheap flying explosive drones will make short work of your expensive dog. But then, the US hasn't caught up to the tech of cheap drones. |

They're not looking to make a better dog, they're looking to make a patentable dog.
In addition, in the eyes of the law these patented dogs will be legal objects that the company owns, not living beings. I know the law already lets you do crazy evil shit to the animals you own, especially if you are a corp with money. This will be worse. This will make a factory farm look like a children's story. This will be something out of H.R. Giger's nightmares after Phillip K. Dick spends a week telling him bedtime stories and soothing him in his dreams with Hannibal-Lecter-whispers. |

Regardless of what they tell you, these aren't gonna be used overseas. These are gonna be deployed domestically, as terror weapons in occupied territories. |

In my opinion, police dogs, in the US at least, are a vestigial cultural holdover from law enforcement's slave catching past. There isn't really a good tactical reason to be using them that couldn't be performed by other equipment. They are unreliable, expensive, and get shot surprisingly often. If you really interrogated why they still use attack dogs, their answer would be that those people are scared of them. Other than that, scenthounds are just probable cause generators which are all probably trained to alert on command. |

I'd been tracking detection dogs more than attack dogs, and yeah police dogs in use have false-positive rates sometimes 90%+. US precincts call them probable cause on four legs. The sad thing is there's a detection dog sector that resents the current misuse culture since its delegitimizing good faith uses. Maybe once we can overhaul how policing and investigation are done, we can restrict detection dogs to instances where high false positive rates will be counter productive. Say, sniffing for explosives at an airport at a long line of luggage. |

just to be clear. I don't want them to die. no no. that's too easy. I want them to move to a new house. and then that one burns down too. I want them to be seen as a financial liability. accounts too hot to insure. hot enough to spontaneously combust. I want to watch as their fortunes are siphoned away from them again and again until they are nothing more than a forgotten memory. that's what I want. |

Sure, them too. But this guy created Anduril Industries to develop non-manned AI drones to kill whoever gets labeled a target by whoever buys his terror machines. This guy is a threat to humanity beyond the pug breeder. He and people with ideas like him deserve to die with much higher priority imo. |

A lot of the time you can't effectively combine them. That is why we have different breeds. Stronger and bigger typically means less stamina and less nimble. Better nose means they get hyper focused on scent and are less effective for other tasks. Even without the ethical issues, I can't see them building a better dog.
also most dogs are inbred asf already. |

Police dogs are analogous to whips, in that they are an ineffective weapon against an equal enemy but good at reducing the morale of slaves. (sorry if I'm just restating your point, I think it's an important one) |

Remember if you buy shit from ModRetro like the M64 you are literally funding this fuck head. If one of your friends has that knock off GameBoy or n64 inform them, if they shrug it off reconsider your relationship with them. Seriously the excuse of no ethical consumption under capitalism doesn’t fly. There is a direct line from ModRetro to this arms dealer called Palmer and ModRetro sells just toys not something necessary for survival. |

Tolkien would be spinning in his grave at the thought of this. It’s against everything he believed in. When people mispronounce the names (as they usually do) I don’t correct them, out of respect for the Professor. |

They think they are high elves while we are hobbits. They want to rule the world. They have actually proven that you can have a level of money that everyone will indulge your mental illness. Anyone else would have been shot for infiltrating the government with plans to end the world but we live in HELL AND NO ONE GIVES A FUCK OR WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. "Don't look up" was the most accurate portrayals of our stupid species ever written And before everyone praises the glorious corporate Dems, Palmer Lucky and his gross company mostly support Democrats and Palmer and Musk are completely integrate in our Army with drones, ranks, and military units that have committed multiple suspicious suicides. https://www.rawstory.com/new-right-jd-vance-tolkien/ NBC4 Washington |
