They have to address conspiracy theories.

They have to explain they have nothing to do with some online petitions.

They shouldn't have to deal with any of that.

They're an example of responsible livestock ownership and should be supported.

Some other drugs, such as ivermectin, can also be useful. EUA is unlikely to be sought for off-patent drugs with multiple manufacturers.

So, the EUA for lotilaner doesn't change access to tx but provides more support for tx decisions.

EUA is largely based on an open label, single arm study of 11 dogs with naturally occurring infection. Low certainty evidence data, for sure, but still very useful and with 100% efficacy, it provides confidence in the drug.

Good news? No full moon next week. Maybe it will be a little more sane (apart from the ostrich crowd)

Why to lawyers from seemingly legitimate firms (e.g. MBB Law in Markham), facilitate this? Easy $. Individuals, institutions and Universities keep facilitating and empowering this harassment.

Q to legal ppl….why do lawyers keep notarizing this crap? It seems like they have the ability, and obligation, to not participate in harassment.

Lots of stuff about the Book of Moses, Archbishop of Canterbury and various other things that just hurt my brain.

Another one with the same type of content (they must have a friend group) from ppl in Guelph and Waterloo, has the same conspiracy crap.

My current bill…~$9 million. (I think I need a raise).

Another accuse me of high treason (and regular treason), talking about nanoparticles, 5G, genetically modified insects, “membrane disruption-mediated delivery strategies” and much (much) more.

Despite the constant online whining about #s, the owners have not provided any flock records or inventory info, and the farm's estimated numbers vary

A legitimate farm would have good records. One that claims to be doing research should have excellent records. Not this farm

CFIA estimates there are 300-300 birds.

1 died Oct 4 from a pre-existing problem, despite treatment directed by the owners.

Bins that are provoking conspiracy theorists and range farmers are for garbage, not covert ostrich disposal

Multiple products involved, so fair to treat all of the company's raw based treats and diets as high risk for now.

Contaminated diets and treats pose risks to pets and owners, and recalls based on routine FDA testing represent a minor fraction of contaminated diets/treats in circulation.

Basic awareness and risk reduction are needed, but raw animal based products always pose some risk.

-If they look like a piece of an animal and don’t say they were cooked, odds are they are just dried.
- If they look like a kibble or other non-anatomical shape, they were probably cooked.
