Not to be that guy, but all apes are haplorhines. There is no such thing as a “wet nosed ape.” The wet nosed primates (strepsirrhines) includes lemurs, lorises, galagos, and pottos. No apes there though :) no monkeys either

Wait are we called mammals after mammary glands? Are mammals named after tits???

ARE WE THE BOOBS CLASS?

Feel good inc is the craziest thing that can happen to a fourteen year old

The Guardian really pointed out that it means nothing then continued to write a misleading article

Not to beef with a guy who has a veterinary degree, a ton of letters behind his name*, and a PhD in vegan pet food (????), and professorship

*notably none of his board certifications are in nutrition, and yes this is the guy responsible for that horrible vegan cat study** that the Guardian spread

But like. Your dog or cat is more likely to get struck by lightning when going for a walk than it is to get a prion disease from food with meat in it 😭 also there aren’t any documented prion diseases for canines (FSE is is a thing for cats tho)

(Article) there aren’t even any known prions for dogs but tbf this is just on “companion animals” in general

**this study makes me mad. ITS NOT EVEN A NUTRITIONAL STUDY! It’s a survey of how healthy owners think their cats are (which is NOT an actual measure of health). Only one of its findings was statistically significant and none of them say anything about the actual health of the cat! But media outlets, his conclusion section, and his own university’s newsletter report on it as if it is and does! Also it’s funded by an org that wants to spread veganism and a lot of the “vegan cats” are indoor-outdoor. It’s only been cited once lmao

logically it makes sense but I struggle to wrap my head around the fact that the UK only has like 6 native nonavian reptiles
