PETA suing AKC about ‘deformed’ breeds

[paw7004]

PETA has filed a lawsuit against the AKC to force it to change breed standards for bulldogs, French bulldogs, Chinese Shar Pei and dachshunds. The AKC replied it doesn’t set the standards; that’s up to the national clubs. The Bulldog Club of America hasn’t changed its standards since the 1920’s, near as I can tell. PETA tried the same campaign in New Hampshire last year, claiming the “deformities” amounted to “animal cruelty” and the bill died on the table there. As a member of the BCA, I’m going to give whatever support I can to quash the lawsuit against the AKC. Just wondering, is anyone else here a member of the BCA? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...ub-demanding-end-deformed-breeding-rcna217736

Yeah, they need to be going after the backyard greeders not the breeders who are setting a good standard and delivering healthy puppies. Although the AKC does have an issue with allowing non-standard puppies to be registered, which gives a false impression to the public.
