Torment breeding: How pugs & co. suffer in order to be cute (2019x41)

They are cute, but also sick: breathing problems, herniated discs, hip and knee joint problems. Some even lose their eyes when they are grabbed by the neck. The torment of these dogs is the result of extreme breeding. If possible, they should correspond to an ideal of beauty with childlike features and proportions. They are among the long-term patients of veterinarians and often have to undergo operations that cost a lot of money. The pug, French and English bulldogs in particular suffer from breeding that leaves them sick for life because their physical proportions are no longer correct. The animal protection law in Germany actually prohibits cruel breeding. However, it is hardly enforced. Instead, at dog fairs, awards are even given to breeds that exhibit quality breeding characteristics.
