There’s toxic people everywhere. Especially once you go online. Not sure that can ever be helped. And yeah, some of those work in science.
Did you read the article or the headline? Scientists are not toxic for being skeptical, the dog owner just prefers they believe her. Several studies are mentioned that disprove previous claims, which is reason enough for skepticism.

She’s not complaining about the skeptisism. The quote is:
“Some people got angry. ‘Animals can’t talk,’ they say. But most of it is not even worth my time,” Devine said. “My perspective is you can believe what you want to believe. This is our day-to-day life. I’m not selectively editing; I’m not cherry-picking.”
It mentions she is actively cooperating with some professors to understand this phenomena better.
Oh no! Don’t disprove my claims and kill any social media clout and merchandising opportunities that I might have.
