The many rules inherited from
Imo the only humane thing to do is put them all down. Same with bulldogs.
Their entire existence must be suffering.
My mother in law has a bull dog, it's existence is pain.
It can't breathe right, it can barely see because of fat rolls on its head and skin tags on its eyelids, And it smells awful because of said fat rolls being hard to clean and keep dry.
I took my lab to the vet, and next to us was a bulldog, and it sounded like it lived in agony.
It's breathing was incredibly laboured, it could hardly walk and the noises it made just * existing * were awful.
I overheard her saying he was much better, I dread to think of what worse looked like.
Definitely thought you were going to say Your mother is a bulldog. I had some questions
How about we start with outlawing the breed, Herr Fur-rer
It won't work. In fact, it would likely cause more of them to exist because black market.
You can't exactly hide a dog, unless you keep it in your house all the time.
Dude, most cities don't have the resources to do anything about actual animal abuse cases. They're not going to go door to door checking for specific breeds.
There are a lot of healthy bully breeds, you obviously don't know what you're talking about.
They said bulldogs, not bully breeds. Bulldogs are specific to the English bulldog.
I never get you folks. The vast majority of the ones I see are pretty happy love running around and typically aren't bread to be flat enough to cause long term issues. Nothing that would leave me to believe we need to gas all of them because of suffering.
I work at a veterinary clinic. Most pugs that come in sound like they're having a panic attack just from walking in the front door, their breathing is so bad. It's abusive to breed dogs to struggle through life.
I've done several years as a vet tech. The vast majority seem just fine ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
Then I'm glad you're no longer a vet tech.

Friend of the family has two Pugs whom seem happy and energetic. Very energetic even, I get exhausted watching them lol
I guess they lucked out on having functional breathing tubes.
A lot of pugs are now being bred to have "old" traits, so a longer snout and less bulgy eyes like the pugs of 100 years ago.
"retro pugs" I've heard them refered to.
Yea my family has some French bulldogs and same thing, they have always been super healthy and energetic. No breathing problems, either, but they got them from a reputable breeder who breeds for health more than the designer breeders.
We really don't need to exterminate those breeds, imo, but we should absolutely be working to undo the genetic damage done from designer breeding. Ethical breeding should be enforced for breeds like pugs and bulldogs.
