    I've been doing some research on canine transmissible venereal tumors (CTVTs), and have come to the conclusion that they are properly considered independent organisms of their own distinct species.
    They're unicellular, asexual, parasitical clonal colonies descended from dogs. As a group they've persisted for hundreds if not thousands of years.

    I've sought out counterarguments but none yet have convinced me.
    If you've got any novel ones, let's hear them.
    Otherwise speculate on the implications of there existing dogs with almost none of the features associated with dogs.

    ctvt isn't it's own species because it's funnier to classify it as a breed of domestic dog.
    >>
    >>5169911
    Technically they should be classified as dogs either way by their ancestry, in the same way that humans are apes.
    But it is quite funny to imagine official recognition as an American Kennel Club breed.

    I just got the funniest idea for a psyop to play on the SMASHED AND SLAMMED people - breeding tumors.

    what if you took the cancer's dna and use it to clone a dog?
    >>
    >>5170178
    You'd get a cancer, it may be a dogs dna but its a cancer, cancer cells always have fucked up dna.

    I just call it a parasite.

    >>5170178
    Just cloning it won't give you anything that can ever survive on it's own. You'd either have to do some major gene editing, or just replace nearly everything from an existing dog embryo.

    >>5170218
    Why is it so stiff? I'd expect it to kinda flop around as they keep turning it.

    >>5169909
    I see CTVT as a sort of virtual immortality, but it's just my fantasy.

    From the paws, looks frozen.
