Actually, I think most people care but not the people in charge, since it sets a precedent where they can be more openly corrupt.

Recovery from neurological disease, usually disc disease surgery, is a very large reason. Honestly I've never heard of it more commonly being used in paw surgery, mainly because immediately post-op you don't want anything to do bad things to the incision site and long post surgery, most animals would need hydrotreadmill therapy for other reasons (like building muscle mass as a fight vs. arthritis and muscle wasting) but not specifically because they had paw work done.

It's a nice system for back dogs, because their incision is on the top so it can remain protected.

just lol that you think a water treadmill for a dog is a sign of terribleness in an unequal society

Wait until you read about the $50,000 heart valve replacement surgeries happening in dogs with a genetic predisposition to heart disease that people keep breeding and paying thousands of dollars for, knowing that it is highly likely their dog will die of an inherited condition... with a waiting list.

or just about any bulldog, really. depending on type, many can't even reproduce naturally and cost thousands of dollars (after paying thousands to purchase the puppy) due to all their varied genetic predispositions

or how about people who breed mutts and call them designer names with -poo at the end and sell them for $5000 a pop.

Like seriously, you're gonna, "but the starving children in an unjust society!" a water treadmill for a dog? lol

The only way this isn't a non sequitur is if those children are starving due to resource scarcity rather than economics and indifference. Otherwise we can feed the children and help the dogs.

My first thought is that this feels like that McCain campaign worker who pretended to be assaulted by a black Obama supporter, but the "B" on her face was backwards and she made it all up. Or when Morton Downey Jr. claimed that he was attacked in a bathroom at an airport by nazis but the swastika on his face was backwards. Or when Ryan Lochte claimed he was robbed at the Rio Olympics.

So it's 2 am, its well below freezing in Chicago, and two bad guys who just happen to be out wandering around wearing ski masks looking for a black or gay man to harass while carrying... bleach? Of course, it is possible, but I've become completely cynical about these things.

I agree, and for the record, I only got that twinge of doubt because Smollet is a celebrity and the story seemed unlikely. I'm wholly on board with always starting from the assumption that victims are telling the truth.

I said it a page or two back, but a high profile fake is just really awful for real victims. Confirmation bias being what it is this becomes the one that sticks out in people’s memories and makes it easy to dismiss every poorly reported event with minimal detail as “sounding odd.”

It’s good that there isn’t a MAGA crew running free in Chicago and it’s good that the horrible thing didn’t actually happen, but now he’s just made the lives of actual victims that much harder and given the folks who want to pretend this stuff doesn’t happen custom made earplugs. It’s a pretty drat selfish thing to do and just makes everything harder.

These two guys did it:

The 2 men seen on surveillance video before the attack had a previous affiliation with Smollett

quote:

Law enforcement sources tell CNN that police now believe Jussie Smollett paid two brothers to orchestrate an assault on him.

Surveillance video from Jan. 28 obtained from a Chicago-area beauty supply store appears to show the two men connected to the incident purchasing a ski mask, sunglasses, a red hat and other items the day before the alleged assault.

They paid for the items in cash, according to the owner, who did not want to be identified.

The two men questioned by police — identified as brothers Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo — were initially arrested on Feb. 13 but released without charges after police cited the discovery of "new evidence." They've met with police and prosecutors at a Chicago courthouse, police spokesman Tom Ahern said.

The two are no longer suspects at this time, Chicago police have said. The brothers' attorney, Gloria Schmidt, told reporters Wednesday that her clients had not accepted a plea deal or immunity. Police sources said the brothers are cooperating with law enforcement.

fau said ya the probation was bad in qqcs if that's any consulation, it's really the same trump conundrum from Trump and 2016. All racists believe Smollet was faking, but not all people who doubted Smollet are racist.
