(BBC 4, 9pm) It will be interesting to see how things have changed, if at all. Also, I found this article on the Daily Mail, it&#39;s nice to see vets standing up and speaking out clearly againsten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/56510?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 26 Feb 2012 21:18:44 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:31d8e9b6-f512-43ab-adcd-b5e5426c2342Cat Henstridge<p>[quote user=&quot;Lorna McHardy&quot;]The British Bulldog (amongst others) is a disgrace in animal welfare terms.[/quote]</p> <p>I couldn&#39;t agree more!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/56508?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:40:47 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c48804ee-d3e0-4bd5-bb58-d1ebe5e8e25aLorna McHardy<p>Huh. I note that, in true Daily Mail style, they&#39;ve quoted a German professor wanting people to not breed pugs and bulldogs, and then quote someone from a UK organization to contradict him. Followed immediately by a claim that these breeds are &#39;iconic&#39; in the UK. They&#39;re nothing if not transparent. </p> <p>The idea of banning breeds so defective they can&#39;t breathe or walk properly was under discussion in German universities when I went there nearly 20 years ago! I agreed then and I agree now. The British Bulldog (amongst others) is a disgrace in animal welfare terms.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
