Just when dog lovers had adjusted to the fact that the BBC would not be broadcasting Crufts as usual this year, comes the news that PETA would like to influence USA Networks not to broadcast Westminster.
According to PETA “Countless dogs suffer painful cosmetic surgeries and millions of wonderful dogs die in animal shelters because of the AKC’s inhumane policies…USA Network can take a stand against the cruel treatment of animals simply by denying air time to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show,” said PETA Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch.
“Beagles like last year’s Westminster winner, Uno, are susceptible to a wide variety of genetic health problems like hypothyroidism, epilepsy and demodectic mange” This was according to PETA.
Pedigree dogs definitely seem under attack. I would hope USA Networks ignores PETA.
