King Charles and UK royals to relinquish dozens of patronages
  + stars: | 2024-05-04 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
King Charles III attends the Sunday service at the Church of St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham estate on January 7, 2024 in Sandringham, England. King Charles and other senior British royals are to relinquish patronages of almost 200 charities and organizations after a review of their association with more than 1,000 groups, Buckingham Palace said on Saturday. Elizabeth was patron of 492 organizations, while Charles was affiliated to 441 and Camilla 100. Organizations are able to apply to have a royal patron who in return can provide publicity for their work and help their achievements to be widely recognised. Conclusions of the review will be shared among the relevant organizations this week, which marks the first anniversary of Charles and Camilla's coronation, the palace said.

Scientists in the UK investigated how a dog's breed, size, sex, and face shape affect lifespan. Flat-faced dogs, large dogs, and male dogs typically live shorter lives, the scientists discovered. Shown here are dog breeds that fall under the lowest 25% for longevity. AdvertisementAs a result, it may explain why the data suggested crossbreeds live shorter lives, McMillan said. Artificial breeding has shortened dogs' livesHuman-led dog breeding has led to new breeds that live shorter lives.

How long will your dog live? Measure its nose

CNN —Is your dog a small male with a long nose? If so, your furry companion is more likely to be at your side for a long time, according to new research. Small and medium dogs with pronounced schnozes lived over 12 years on average, while flat-faced dogs of all sizes fell short of that mark. The study includes millions of data points, but it doesn’t necessarily represent the full spectrum of companion dog life, McMillan said. “The ethical and welfare concerns surrounding dog breeding have become one of the most important issues — if not the most important issue — within canine welfare,” McMillan said.

The Dogs That Live Longest, by a Nose

There are exceptions to those broad trends, and the findings might not apply to dogs outside Britain, where breeding practices — and gene pools — may be different, the researchers noted. More research will be needed to determine why some breeds have shorter life spans than others. Some breeds are genetically predisposed to serious health problems, but breed-related differences in behavior, lifestyle, diet, environment or other factors could also play a role in shortening some dogs’ lives, experts said. “Now that we have identified these populations that are at risk of early death, we can start looking into why that is,” said Kirsten McMillan, an author of the new study and the data manager at Dogs Trust, a dog welfare charity in Britain that led the research. “This provides an opportunity for us to improve the lives of our dogs.”

Însă, experţii cred acum că acest sfat nu funcţionează, iar proprietarii de animale ar trebui să le liniştească imediat ce acestea se sperie astfel încât să nu devină prea stresate. ''În trecut, uneori sfatul era de a ignora câinii şi de a nu le acorda prea multă atenţie când sunt speriaţi - însă, dacă brusc nu li se acordă atenţie când sunt înspăimântaţi de zgomote este foarte probabil ca ei să devină foarte agitaţi'', a precizat organizaţia. ''Unele persoane au declarat că obişnuiau să-i liniştească pe câini, însă acum nu o mai fac, dar acest lucru nu a îmbunătăţit problema. (Concluzia) se bazează pe studii şi, în plus, beneficiem de o mai bună înţelegere a creierelor câinilor. Ei sunt o specie care a coevoluat cu noi şi este foarte dependentă de atenţia umană.
