Abstract
Pound seizure is a wicked problem involving the sale of companion animals from shelters to educational or research facilities for experimentation. Because these companion animals are an inexpensive alternative to laboratory-bred animals, the issue remains widespread. Ontario is the only province in Canada where pound seizure is still mandated, and this is likely due to a lack of awareness among the general population. Pound seizure, however, is a wicked problem with significant impacts on humans, non-human animals, and the environment, including dangerous research outcomes, physiological and psychological pain and suffering, and environmental pollution. To address this issue, we have initiated an action involving the use of an educational Instagram page called FetchFreedom and a supporting social media campaign. Collectively, this action is intended to bring awareness to the issue and encourage others to take a stand against pound seizure.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
