I feel so sorry for short-faced dogs. They almost always have breathing problems. We did that to them on purpose for our own amusement and now people want to keep that going. It’s disgusting.
Just like munchkin, how the fck does a cat/dog with halves the limb is cute?
Or the hairless ones. They can’t even sunbathe or groom themselves and that’s like a cat’s favorite thing to do. Cats also love to be warm and some idiotic sweater isn’t a replacement for the fur they’re supposed to have. “But I’m allergic” tf kind of selfish argument is that? You feel so entitled to a pet that you have one made for you to the detriment of the animal? It’s seriously so gross.
They’re not even hypoallergenic, they make less dander but they make the same protein people are allergic to.
The worst thing is that I think old pugs were nicer than “modded” ones.
Agreed
Almost? Are there ones that don’t?
I try not to be an absolutist.
They’re illegal in some countries, for good reason
Cruelty for cruelty’s sake is humanity’s signature move.
You should see the animals we didn’t find cuteness or utility in.
Oh wait, you can’t, they’re dead.
I mean rats and cockroaches for example are fucking everywhere (I know rats can be cute pets but most of them aren’t). We’re not as efficient an extinction machine as we like to think.
only poor people have to deal with rats and roaches; which is why they’re still around.
You might find one deep in the jungle if you hurry, after this summer you will probably have to search tho!
“deep in the jungle”
Oh, you mean those ecosystems we cut down to build strip malls in to sell the plastic garbage we make by poisoning the oceans and the air?
We keep a few around for the tourists to take selfies in front of.
If these liberals have their way they won’t allow us to make plastic straws anymore, think of it! Using straws made out of a different material like it is from the beginning of time until 1965 or something!!!

Oh wait, you can’t, they’re
deadon your plate.That’s utility.
I think that’s one of the utilities they’re talking about.
I feel so bad for pugs. They have so much trouble breathing. Still, have you seen a humans CRT? Looks equally frightening haha
Maybe that was the goal, who knows what those humans think!
There is a breed of pug, retro pugs, that is a Jack Russell terrier mix. They have elongated snouts, leading to a happier life. Most of the health problems that are unique to pugs, poof, gone.
Yeah, retro pugs are great!
A step in the right direction
Check out exotic toad bulldogs for a step into the very wrong direction
Goddamn wtf
here is that healthy pug breed vs a regular pug. hope those on lemmy can see this image
I can’t
another
And to think that frenchies are the most sold dog breed in the USA… Makes me sad sometimes.
Isn’t that breed forbidden in some countries ? I remember reading something about the Netherlands…
Yup. Been banned since 2019. But in 2022, stricter measurements had to be taken in order to prosecute the breeders. In happier news, the university of Wageningen livestock research center started a project on breeding guidelines. Its aim is to perserve and improve the health of dog breeds. Working together with dog owner unions. Think instnces that train dogs for sports for example.
Like a microwaved Muppet
short nosed dogs signify how messed up humanity is.
That looks like a bird
