Nice rickety.

Do you know what dog I posted? Like your Maremma's extremely good at Livestock when I get my property (maybe in my dreams but city no good for me)

 

[ChoppyGun]

Yep they can be very efficient in dealing with stuff :-D We used to get ours from the Maremma rescue people so the dogs had been assessed, so to speak. We had this big boy on a trial for a week or so, he was massive and when walking his head was level with the Pajero window. Anyway, this big boy had food aggression, grabbed hold of my arm 1 night and let me know that just because I was actually feeding him, that food was his. Went at me Cujo style a day later with an egg in his mouth .... that moment brought about a close to his trial on my farm.

Yeah ok well similar to my experience.

He wasnt that big though, maybe 75cm at shoulder and 50kilos? Yours sounds much bigger.

Finally got through the last piece of pavlova from xmas dinner. Reckon next year we will go the small nests rather than the big kohuna....reckon i got type 2 diabetes coming on.

He was much bigger than our other 2, was a beautiful looking dog. Just aggressive around food ..... he killed a couple of chooks and once he thought that they were for him, well, he wasn't for us. The other 2 pretty much told us what they should do and worked fantastically. We got a pup and he learnt from them. I miss being a farmer :-(

Yeah that's way too much.

It's ok to be protective but killing small animals isn't on. Probably same then as he was tall and I simply grabbed his bowl for water and jumped me!!

I was fine outside grazes on arms etc but scary as.

My Greyhounds haven't but love a chase. They are so big and quiet it's complete opposite

Apologies for the change in topic.....

Just a quick update on TOD Jr's mate Ben (who, for those that haven't been reading the thread, was coward punched and in a coma). Happily enough it'll also be the last update I provide, mainly due to the remarkable improvement in Ben's condition. TOD Jr saw him a few days ago - he's at home and doing super well. Original plan when he woke up was for him to do 6 months of cognitive rehab but they ditched it and sent him home after just 6 days. Doctors are staggered by the lack of residual issues. Some real Matrix-style bullet dodging on his part. Although if you knew Ben, it sort of tallies. Kid has enough joie de vivre to power 10 human beings. Extremely happy to have him 'back' and in such great health.

Once again, big ups to those who showed an interest in the story and/or offered support.

Great bloody news mate. [emoji106]

I've been looking at one of these

Are Anatolian shepherds common in Australia Choppy? They're super rare here. I've only ever met one, and he was a bit tricky, but then I suspect he wasn't having the greatest time trying to cope with living in a city. We've got a fair few Maremmas used for livestock here too. You see the odd one in the city, but again, I think their temperaments are more suited to being out working the farms. I think dogs like them suffer in the city, living boring cramped lives where their self-determination is not allowed to exist in the way it needs to be. There's so many silly human rules for dogs in the city. Walk in a straight line next to the human with your head up. Sit when they tell you to, even if it's a trillion times a day and there is no discernable reason for it. Jeez they put up with a lot from us.

By the way, your greyhounds are beautiful. They look bigger and have thicker coats than ours up here, which is odd, as we're the cold country! Haha. But then most of the greyhounds here are rescues from the US racing industry.

Anyways, good luck in your quest. Be nice if you could find a rescue Anatolian to fit into the existing pack.

Like it or not, we're in the dawn of a new era. Singapore on the leading edge, as usual.

Singapore becomes first country to approve lab-grown meat

Singapore has granted San Francisco start-up Eat Just Inc. regulatory approval to sell its laboratory-grown chicken in the city-state -- the world's first government to allow the sale of cultured meat.

London (CNN Business)Singapore has granted San Francisco start-up Eat Just Inc. regulatory approval to sell its laboratory-grown chicken in the city-state -- the world's first government to allow the sale of cultured meat.

The product, created from cultured chicken cells, has been approved as an ingredient in chicken bites following Singapore Food Agency (SFA) approval, Eat Just said Tuesday.

Initially, the chicken bites will debut in a Singapore restaurant, with plans for wider expansion into dining and retail establishments in the country, Josh Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of Eat Just told CNN Business. The product will be priced at parity with premium chicken, he added.

"We've been eating meat for many hundreds, thousands of years, always needing to kill an animal to eat -- until now," he said.

The cultured meat is created in a bioreactor -- an apparatus in which a biological reaction or change takes place -- Eat Just said. It has a high protein content and is a rich source of minerals, according to the company, which plans to sell the product under the GOOD Meat brand.

For now, with manufacturing hubs in Singapore and Northern California, the company only has approval to sell the meat in Singapore, but it hopes to expand sales of cultured meat -- including cultured beef -- into the US and Western Europe, Tetrick said.

Eat Just already produces a range of non-animal products, including Just Egg, made with mung beans, and a vegan mayonnaise.
The trend toward meat substitutes and plant-based protein, already growing in the United States, is also taking hold in Asia.

This year, despite the global economic turmoil triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, plant-based protein startup Impossible Foods secured about half a billion dollars in fresh funding, with investment mostly coming from heavyweight investors in Asia.

California-based Beyond Meat last month unveiled a meatless minced "pork" for launch in China, while Impossible launched its fake beef product in supermarkets in Hong Kong and Singapore in October, hoping to widen its footprint across Asia.

If anyone can replicate the taste of a genuine home slaughtered Chicken that I tasted as a kid well kudos to them.

As a guess this Singapore chook will probably taste like modern chicken which of course is a manipulation of white polystyrene.
