ANIMAL WORLD: GERMAN SHEPHERD.

 


The Dog Breed that caused WW 11
In 1899, when Friedrich von Stephanitz developed the German Shepherd breed. It was a sublime innovation, but unknowingly, he had also set the stage for the world’s future and for the deaths of over 70 million people. To explain this requires a brief background.
Before the German Shepherd was genetically developed from wolves, many impure breeds had existed. And although each of this dogs showed some strong wolf-like characters, they also had a lot of flaws, rendering them useless for human use. But Stephanitz succeeded; he was able to breed a pure wolf-dog specie, one that showed intelligence and strength never before displayed by any other dog breed.


In 1920, this technique was to resonate with a rising political star, Germany's future Furher—Adolf Hitler. Adolf had humble backgrounds and he was not sufficiently educated, and most of what he read—while growing up—were books on German Myths, which generally portrayed Germans as a Superior race and as the born rulers of the world. Historians record that his psyche and his world views were largely determined by this erroneous beliefs.
He was also a dog-lover for most of his life, and his name—Adolf—also means ‘pure wolf,' All of which induced him to eagerly seize Stephanitz technique, as he saw in it, Germany’s salvation; that ‘if Germany was purified, Germany would prosper.’
And so from 1920, Adolf Hitler relentlessly pursued what he thought to be his destiny: To bring about the racial purity that would elevate Germany.
Innocuous as this ideas were, they were to bring about the Second World war, which is still the greatest loss of human life in history, causing twice the number of deaths from HIV, and 7 times the number of deaths in the First world war.
But fortunately for us( I can only imagine how horrible a Nazi world be), Hitler’s aims were defeated in the war, and he died—ignobly—in 1945, the same year that the United Nations Organization (UNO) was founded, to uphold the values that he tried so hard to suppress.
Remove Freedom, Equity, and Justice, and the world becomes a place of dread. We must always remember this, and as children in this golden age, we must actively denounce any dogma—however good—that promotes hegemony and nepotism.
