They both got cancer because they both eat meat with too much of some kind of carcinogenic toxin in it, (or waaay too much red meat in general), because they are both poor and live in a polluted area or at least area with poor food standards.
That also correlates with the ignorance, but still an attempt to craft an explanation: never had the chance to get well educated, else they’d know cancer is not … contagious, broadly transmissable.
Poor dumbass tried to spell ‘Prevent’ and ended up with ‘Pervert’.
else they’d know cancer is not … contagious, broadly transmissable.
I read an interesting NYT article the other day about the discovery of a high rate of skin cancer in catfish in a lake bordering Vermont and Quebec. By looking at the DNA of the catfish and of the tumors, scientists discovered that the DNA of the tumors didn’t resemble their host like you’d expect, but did resemble the tumors found on all the other fish. They realized they were looking at the first transmissible cancer found in fish. The article noted that contagious cancer has also been found in Tasmanian devils, clams and, yes… dogs.
I was vaguely aware that… there are some known instances where cancer actually is transmissable, but usually only in the context of pregnant mother to child.
But… this… … well, shit.
… I guess its not actually possible to 100% rule out ‘my dog gave me colon cancer.’
Still seems quite unlikely… but maybe not strictly completely impossible?
It is a huge family of diseases that… work in the body in very similar ways, but … more or less, each different kind of tissue in your body has different things that are either known to, or are strongly suspected to increase the likelihood that a cancer will develop in them.
(Not counting ‘so i accidentally bathed in the light of the demon core’ or something like that.)
Anyway, again to the best of my not an expert understanding… you have to have a considerably red meat heavy diet, for your chances of colon cancer to rise.
I know charcuterie is bad, and smoked meat is horrible… Actually, yeah, fair, that’s most of the ways I can come up with for heavily processing meat. I guess minced meat is fine?
It’s not the point at all, but can dogs be poor? Like, their human can be poor, but does that then apply to the dog too? Applying a financial status to a dog feels weird, it’s not like it can open a bank account.
Somewhat more charitably…
Causal misattribution.

That… is indeed interesting.

You pervert misunderstandings.
Its a tough jog, but somebody’s gotta do it.
Is there any evidence that red meat causes cancer, or just ultra processed meat/food?
Red meat eaters have higher colorectal cancer levels due to chronic bowel inflammation. https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/reduce-your-risk/eat-well/limit-red-and-processed-meat
Red meat isn’t the problem, it’s the fuzzy greenish-blue meat you’ve got to worry about.
there’s evidence that everything causes cancer, but like i live in california
Turns out living causes cancer
Yo momma causes cancer. She’s made of crabs
Not myself a doctor, but, basically yes?

Cancer is not… one thing.

Depending on cooking method
Checks out

Looks like anything with sodium nitrate, like bacon. Sodium nitrate reacts with the protein to form DNA damaging nitrosamines
but it taste good :(

Maybe dogs can’t be wealthy, but some eat/live really well.
a lot of people’s pets eat better than they do
I mean strictly speaking, yes, it is odd to describe a dog directly with human socioeconomic descriptors.
But yeah, I meant it as ‘the dog is owned by a poor human’.
