Dogs
I would not say that I was a great dog person.
And I've never ever got excited about dogs, or such things.
But tonight I was outraged
on behalf of pedigree dogs
following a programme on TV
which showed the horrendous extent
of inbreeding
leading to hundreds of inherited diseases
features of so called "true to breed" champions
that make it almost impossible for the dog to, breath, mate, walk,
live a normal, happy or long life.
And the breeders themselves
who seem completely blind
to what they are doing.
I think this picture says it all.
