Today’s topic is a heavy one. So heavy, in fact, that I’m not even attempting to come up with a mood-lightening joke to soften its grim arrival.
While preparing this episode, I went from wanting to howl (I held it in), to sob uncontrollably (I didn’t), to shoot dogfight organizers in the knees (none were conveniently at hand). So no cheerful descriptions this time.
But what I am full of is the strength to talk facts — no fluff (somewhere out there, a thesis just got defended with all the saved verbiage I left out).
As you’ve surely guessed by now: this episode is about dog fighting — how a utilitarian tool became a noble pastime, and later, a modern-day blood industry.
Yes, your ears aren’t deceiving you: dog fighting is illegal in most countries around the world (including, I’m 3000% sure, the one you currently live in).
And yet, this bloody business isn’t the least bit shy about its scale.
Why it’s bloody probably needs no explaining to you, my wise and noble listeners. But why I dare to call it a business — well, that’s what I unpack in this episode.
And if I may say so — with just the tiniest lack of modesty — this may be the most comprehensive audio deep dive on dog fighting you’ve ever heard. Including all this:
🥊 How rat-baiting mutated into a rotting “entertainment” industry;
💰 How much a “promising” puppy costs and how fight organizers make money;
🧬 What role banned substances play — and how dogs are “trained” for the ring;
👁 What legal loopholes let perpetrators walk free again and again;
🐾 What consequences fall not just on dogs and organizers — but on society at large. (Yes, even if you’ve never heard of a dog fight, it’s still hurting you.)
⚠️ How to spot a dog in danger and when help is needed;
🧡 And following that: how you can help — for the price of a coffee, a phone call, or even just a few free words.
⏰ As promised in the episode, the segment about identifying and helping dogs in danger begins at 33:16.

Двойные стандарты: как породные правила стали породными заболеваниями | Episode 6
Даст Бог породистую собачку — даст и породистую болячку.
Так гласит нелицеприятная истина, и об этом новый эпизод: про то, как в угоду своим эстетическим требованиям к облику разных пород — общество обрекло собак на породные проблемы и характерные наследственные заболевания.
Не буду притворяться, этот текст, как и выпуск, даётся мне тяжело, потому что я ужасно злюсь. Тема злая, жестокая, не очень-то славно человека как вид подчёркивающая.
Постаралась без жести, — но по делу и по фактам, перекопала интернет на чём свет стоит, статьи-исследования-шмисследования.
Но, правда, очень сложно идёт текст, не могу выдавить что-нибудь эдакое, поддерживающее, приободряющее, — всё выжала из себя внутри выпуска. Послушайте, пожалуйста, это правда ужасно интересная и (ужасно ужасная) тема; вот — для резюме — один из главных тезисов выпуска:
«Более 80 болезней ассоциированы с породными эстетическими стандартами. Это приблизительно четверть всех наследственных заболеваний у собак».
Ну и традиционно, всё же собрала для вас опорные точки выпуска:
👑 Чем похожи Карл II и кинг-чарльз-спаниэли (не только лишь королевскостью!);
🐍 Шарпеневая кожа;
🤼 MMA-поединки в полях, или как Шанти с Риддиком общий язык искали;
🦔 Соник Икс, пьебалдизм и другие английские термины, kotoryie prosto perekochyevali в русскую versiyu подкаста;
🐁 Что общего у далматинца и белого бультерьера;
🌵 Поясните свою маленькость — и чем неприличен гигантизм;
🔮 Эффект прозрачности сознания, или кто ты без своего джи-пи-ти;
🤥 Энциклопедия неочевидных пород: мифология наварррррррского пачона и андской тигровой гончей;
🧬 Исключительно анти-интеллектуальная история про то, как я генетические тесты Риддика получала.
И другие истории о том, как из породных стандартов получаются наследственные заболевания и породные проблемы. Засим расшаркиваюсь, желая не столько приятного прослушивания, сколько познавательного!
🩵🩶 Слушайте, познавайте, насыщайтесь интересными исследованиями внутри эпизода — а еще обязательно приходите в телеграм-канал подкаста t.me/pyoscast. Там уже даже не перекати-поле, но будет еще полезнее и забавнее, я вам обещаю! 🩵🩶
