I mean, have you ever seen a pug? They're fighting for air their entire life. Or chihuahua's? Awful personality and bred out of usefulness.

Chihuahuas can have a not completely closed cranial bone (is this the right word?), which means if you pet them at the wrong place you literally can touch the brain and potentially kill them. My mood would be bad, too, if this was the case for my body.

Pugs also can have their eyes popping out if you handle them wrong (e.g. gripping them at their neck).

The head of King Charles Spaniels are to small, meaning their brain does not have enough room. This can lead to brain fluids getting stuck in the head, which increases pressure on the brain, leading to infathomable headaches, hallucinations, motor deficits, etc, pp.

Breeding some dog breeds should really be prohibited.

Oh man I can never enjoy their derpy look again, knowing it's because their brain doesn't have room.

Strong agree. Although there are also breeders doing "healthy" versions of pugs, German sheperds (their hips are awful for them, but the back "sliding down" to low hips was considered an essential characteristic for the race), French bulldogs, etc.

For pugs they're calling it "retro pug" and essentially theyre trying to get to what the breeds was before fancy European dog breeders started valuing aesthetics more than say, the dog being able to breathe.

The AKC and other "dog standards" organizations should be labelled as animal abusers for their rigid requirements in dog breeds. If PETA wants to do good in this world, that's who they should be targeting.

"You see what we do to the things we love???"

"What the fuck do you think we're going to do to you?!"
