New Dallas Ebola patients dog will NOT be put down but will go in quarantine.

"We heard that during the quarantine in West Point [Liberia], dogs were eating the bodies of the deceased. If we have these situations where bodies are lying in the streets of Africa, it's important to know the virus's role in different animal species help design control strategies and understand the real scope of the disease."

It's a different ballgame in the west and US - we don't have rotting corpses in the streets and dogs roaming round chomping on them ffs!

Anyway, and I made a thread last week about this, but no-one ever answered my question: why just dogs? Dogs are animals, so are rats which are much more likely to spread the disease than dogs - what about cats, they roam around more than dogs. My question was, can the virus be passed through different species - if it can there's nothing we can do about it, we'd all be truly fucked.

Sounds like some of the retarded assholes on here would like nothing better than an excuse to kill innocent animals, and they're the ones who deserve to be first on the Ebola hit list.

So what do we know about dogs and Ebola?

We know about Ebola in humans. We know bats. We know antelopes. We know non-human primates. There's not a lot of work done with dogs.

Couldn't you just test the dog for Ebola?

We don't have diagnostic tests for dogs. We don't know what symptoms dogs might have. What if dogs don't experience symptoms?

Seems to me that this is reckless. The dog should be put down out of an abundance of caution. We don't need Ebola finding a narural vector here in the states. Americans are retarded and think dogs are human though and the authorities have handled this situation in the most fucked up way possible so I'm not surprised that the stupid dog won't be out down.

If dogs become vectors this will decimate the nazi rescue movement which I won't cry over. I can't stand rescue advocates. I'll never rescues a dog because I don't want some fucked up problem. I'll contine to spend thousands with a reputable breeder that offers DNA testing which goes a long way to ensure the dog I'm buying does not have genetic issues that will cost me thousands on the back end. I can also meet the parents to get an idea of how my dogs temperament will turn out and I know the history of how the dog was raised. You don't get any of that with shelter dogs.

Its not people like me or reputable breeders who create shelter dogs. it's losers that get a dog and then give it up when they move, lose their job, have a baby, etc. its time retarded shelter dog advocates lie blame where it belongs and it's not on people like me. I domt adopt dogs for the same reason I'd never adopt a kid. I domt want to deal with someone elses problems and I don't care to fix other people's fuck ups.

The movement to decimate purebred dogs is being put forth by the same people who are under the delusion that all people are equal. DNA proves otherwise and so does selective breeding by reputable dog breeders. Dogs prove that intelligence, work ethic, amd so much more is genetic.

You don't know shit asshole. I have owned a heavy equipment company for 30+ years and I have had Dobermans, trained as executive style guard dogs, to guard my equipment yard the entire time I've been in business. There is no way id go down to the local shelter and pick out some dog that I know nothing about that was going to be trained on command to rip out someone's throat. That is a disaster waiting to happen. I have been buying dogs from one breeder sihce before DNA testing was even available and these dogs have been fantastic. They are bred to do a job and they do it well.

I'd also never go down and pick out some shelter dog to give to my kids as a companion. Kids are grown and on their own and I have grandkids now but same thing.

Breeding matters and you don't know what you are getting from a shelter. Like I said, the rescue movement is being pushed by the people who preach that all people are equal. Dogs, while not people, prove otherwise because genetics are genetics regardless of species. Their goal is to dumb down humans to the point that they will be able to easily rule over them and purebred dogs fly in the face of their lies and human with critical thinking ability can see that.

Seek help for your anger issues for the sake of society.
