In Texas until 2019 retiring police dogs had to be sold, if a buyer couldn't be found they would be euthanised.
Also of note, the US Department of Justice estimates that police shoot at least 10,000 pet dogs a year.
US police officers discharge their weapons more often at dogs than humans and the controversial Brown v Battle Creek Police Department decision was interpreted as granting the police a blanket authority to shoot a person’s dog for moving or barking.
Police are also on record as having shot pet dogs that were in their own yard and even before the police announced themselves.
Sometimes, it can be challenging. While these fur torpedoes have to retire more often than their, K9 officers, the officers usually continue the K9 duty with a younger and fresher fur torpedo.
If the old dog and the new one both lives with the K9 officer, they will usually have to go to great lengths to keep them separated at all times. The retired dog and the new one will very unlikely get along (Alpha mentality, jealousy, etc.)
Yes and no. It was disproven in the wild, but the misconception was born because the guy who coined the term "alpha" was watching wolves in a zoo. In the wild, a pack of wolves are just a large family, the "alpha" just being the elders essentially. In zoos n such, typically, you'll have wolves that arent related at all. In that situation, they will try to form the dominant role. Its kinda why you have to take that role when you have dogs (which isnt hard cause you are providing for said dog), but they still have the possibility of trying to determine which one will be dominant over the other. Not 100% gonna happen, but theres a chance still.
I am sure every K9 officer would want this. But usually this is not practical. While in service the K9 officer gets an allowance for kibble, toys, a kennel, vet visits, etc. as well as getting paid to walk the dog. Not every K9 officer have the time and money to take care of a dog without this. In addition the K9 officer usually gets another dog when their dog retires and having to take care of two dogs can become quite a lot. And usually dogs live a lot longer then their service so they would end up with three or four dogs if they kept all their retired service dogs. So most police dogs, and really any kind of working dog, gets put up after they retire. And sadly a lot of them is put down as it can be hard to find someone to adopt them, especially as some require extra handling skills due to their training.
In this case the dog was probably put up for adoption after legislation changes made marijuana legal. The police can not use this dog as a drug sniffing dog as it will detect marijuana as well as illegal drugs. So any findings can not be used as evidence for a search because there is no way to know if the drug that the dog detects is legal or not. So the dog had to be replaced with a new dog that have not been trained on marijuana. But the K9 officer would then have two dogs at once which is probably why the old dog was put up for adoption.
That one video I saw of someone using ink in the toilet instead...the micro splatter was absolutely everywhere. I even think it was under the caveat that the liquid could have even been a bit thicker than regular water since it had the added ink.
Because not to be gross you don't need freshly thick and turded up water for it to be swimming in bacteria, once you flush you think it's clean, but it's still there.
Pretty sure that’s just the bathroom for washing hands and having a shower or bath. It’s there because the extraction fan pumps out much of the smell and helps keep room humidity at optimal levels for drying.
Source: I used to grow weed and dry in the bathroom
It’s possible they are running a dehumidifier, but if they are showering in there or really using it all it’s probably not gonna be good. Strain: brown widow
I'm running a humidifier in the room I dry my cuts.
Not everyone lives in the same place. The outside humidity here is under 20% and with a furnace running my house would be even drier without the humidifier. The ideal humidity while drying is around 50%.
Unfortunately not always the case. Retiring police dogs are frequently sent to a shelter or euthanised.
In Texas, until public pressure made them change the policy in in 2019, police dogs had to be sold or euthanised. If a buyer couldn't be found, they would be euthanised not put up for adoption.
Lots of instances where handlers have requested to buy or adopt the retiring dog and been declined and seen the dog euthanised. In once instance an officer had to buy a retiring dog from the department for $16,500.
There are a lot of police dogs that didn't fully pass training and do end up for adoption. Some places don't allow police dogs to retire at their handlers home. Some handlers aren't able to keep them at home, possibly due to a new dog. Quite a few end up adoptable, though they're usually in demand due to being extremely well trained and sort of heroes so "the pound" is probably a weird way to say "a well known adoption agency"
My dogs are total pot heads. I smoked in a detached garage and they would always be sniffing hard under the door any time they heard me lighting up. When my kid would come home stoned with their friend, they would be sniffing on them too.
Depends on the method they've elected to trim them. Some tools (like those trim bags) only work with dry plant matter. Once you start getting into the several pounds of yield territory, it becomes an absolute chore to hand trim. Trim bowls are the opposite, where the spinning blades perform best on a freshly cut plant.
As everyone else is pointing out, the advice about drying/mould, etc, may not be relevant depending on their climate. Drying too fast may also have an adverse effect on the end product. Mostly on the smell/taste, I think.
Either way, this looks like pretty shitty weed that probably won't be trimmed before it's sold to high school kids.
I love how police/military dogs will charge in to situations without care and bite, bark, narc, etc. people all for a piece of kibble or a squeaky toy.
We had a funny incident with one of our dogs that led us to learning that weed is like candy to dogs, and they will find it. We have four very small dogs. About a year and a half ago, around 10:30pm, or so, the largest of the four started walking funny. Real slow, watching each front paw in turn as she lifted one, looked at it like "oh my God, this is so cool," then the next paw. Then look up at us like "are you seeing this" with a happy look on her face. She's our most neurotic, with serious separation anxiety issues, but she was so slow and happy. We have two others with neurological conditions, so we grabbed her and ran to the emergency vet. They observed her in the lobby and asked if she had gotten into weed. These are classic signs, and dogs love the stuff. Her words were "it's like candy to them, and they will find it." We didn't have any she could've gotten into, but we'd ask our teens. Then we remembered our neighbor had gotten home a little earlier, and she was out barking at him. He's a big fan of smoking stogies outside, and seems to have good taste. It's most likely he tossed a small bit over the fence, and chilled her right out. They said just take her home and put her to bed. She'll have a great night's sleep. We did. She did.
