The mutation that takes the pain receptors out of the face or reduces them — is close by another gene that is involved in generating the the tensile nature of the skin. So this is why they have the jowls, the folds.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And it turns out the breeding out of the pain receptors is correlated with a fibronectin mutation, so that's why they're droopy, and they have the short snout, so, you know, they can grab onto the bull, and they won't get shaken off.
