How about just banning the breeding of animals that were designed to suffer?
Between the people that breed flat faced animals - including cats, to those that breed german shepherds with slumped rumps (the breeders call it a “show line”) that suffer from hip dysplasia - I’ve just got to ask… what the fuck is wrong with animal “afficianados” that support such shit.
The dog might be something like an accessory to them. They might not care for the animal.
Oh, that they don’t care for the animal - which is little more than a means to an end - is a given.
Just reprehensible people.
I have zero qualms with a tamed wolf. Joint awo sessions after dinner. 🐺
Prolly need to get laid.
By a human, to be clear.
But it’s so cute when they struggle to breathe!
Pugs’ eyes can also pop out of thier skull
So cute
That should happen, but it’s also good that vets are trying to help these disabled critters lead better lives. And if it becomes adaptable to some humans with disabilities, so much the better.
