Animal Aspects
This is raw, true nature. I will post pictures of animals eating, killing, (obviously never anything abusive), and fighting each other, as well as the occasional skeleton. If you cannot stand the sight of blood or guts, please don't follow.
Albinism occurs in nature all the time, in every animal including humans. Wild albino animals rarely survive though, since their coloring is usually what protects them from becoming a meal or from getting one. For example an albino squirrel would be easily spotted and picked up by a large bird or a cat, and an albino alligator trying to look like a floating log wouldn’t be able to sneak up on other animals.
To tell if an animal is a true albino and not just white, if you can get close enough, you can look at their eyes; an albinos eyes are usually red, pink, or purple because the retina is visible through the iris since there is no eye color. You can also consider if the animal could possibly just have a white coat, feathers, or skin. Although if you see a pure white raccoon or whale, chances are it is albino.
An albino will have no color whatsoever, except for light pinks. The peacock, wallaby, and hedgehog in the pictures above are true albinos, but the white tiger, wolf, and zebra are not.
Shock collars are collars that deliver an electrical shock to your dog through a remote. Usually owners who use these are just misinformed about what the collar actually does. Although just pressing a button to train your dog seems extremely easy and a like a lot less work, the negative consequences of it are not worth sitting on your ass instead of actually working with your animal.
I am sure we have all tried those pens or fake packs of gum that shock you, those things hurt and are usually about 50-70 volts. The collar causes the dog pain, and not in your toy gum kind of way. Most collars go up to 450 volts, and owners who don’t know what they are doing may set it to that. Although it is unlikely it is still extremely possible for someone who is fed up with their dog’s behavior to crank it up. But, even if it is set lower, imagine getting poked with something with a higher voltage than a shock pen every time someone wants to correct you.
Dogs that are trained with shock collars tend to have a higher stress level, which means the dog will be more aggressive. Hitting your dog will do nothing but just piss them off even more which makes them more aggressive, and delivering them pain in another form isn’t going to give you different results. The fact that you are administering this pain from a distance with no effort really diminishes any guilt since you are not over there punching the dog yourself.
