We pick them off us and 3 pets fur and put them in a vial of alcohol. Too many so early. I get at least 3 on me/day.

Scientific quantification. We have a vial every year to compare. Not walking in woods, just driveway 30' to house or take trash out. Mow once/week.

Ticks are absolutely horrible this year, I've pulled numerous off both children and myself and we haven't even been deep into the woods, just on walking trails and in parks.

Yes. In the past 10 years, I have maybe found two ticks on me. In the past two weeks, I have had found two. We are always outside with the grands. Having Alpha Gal sucks (no pun intended), I don't need for it to get worse.

Not more than usual. Pro-tip, get Frontline (or equivalent) for your indoor+outdoor pets. It helps keep ticks out of your house.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.
