    Owning a pug is animal cruelty

    EDIT: adding bulldogs and other snub-nosed pets that wouldn’t exist without selective breeding by humans.

      Even if it’s a rescue? Maybe breeding pugs (without trying to reverse the damage done to them) is pretty shitty, but I could see rescuing one is fine. I mean, what’s the other option, killing them all?

        Fair, but it still fuels the market. Somebody rescues one. Somebody else sees it and wants one but can’t find a rescue or doesn’t want a rescue, and goes to a breeder.

            That’s a good compromise, but the dogs all have to undergo surgery. The breed needs to go somehow.

          I’m pretty sure that if someone wanted a pug, seeing one person who did a rescue wouldn’t be the tipping point.

          And there are people who are trying, through breeding, to reverse the damage done to these poor animals.

          So yeah, I think there are ethical ways to own a pug.
