The crux of PETA’s problem with the Westminster Kennel Club is that it promotes the breeding of purebreds, which they say will “kill shelter dogs’ chances of finding a loving home.”
I am no veterinarian, but my intuition tells me that shelter dogs losing their chance at finding a loving home has less to do with the Westminster Kennel Club promoting purebreds and more to do with the overdose of barbiturates that PETA injects into the dogs’ bloodstreams.
PETA is the William Calley of the modern generation. “We have to kill the dogs to save them.”
We need to cull the herd……PETA. That herd.
Well, you know, I really worried about that when I was selectively breeding a Saskatoon Squatter with a Temiskaming Trotter to produce Jerome, my genuine Greater Glengarry Moosehound.
And I kept him on the straight and narrow by reminding him that, if he didn’t stop taking a leak on my truck tires, it would be off to the OSPCA shelter with him, where he had a very good chance of ending up as an Obammy Burger on a presidential platter. Good as gold, he’s been.
Purebred dogs don’t kill shelter dogs, “humane” shelter operators kill shelter dogs – for their own good we’re told – because everyone knows capturing, imprisoning and killing dogs is good fer ’em.
It’s the old transference game – transfer your own sins on your target.
I thank PETA for speaking out against Westminster and for working on the frontlines of the animal homelessness crisis (which Westminster worsens by bringing more dogs into the world and promoting purebreds). PETA provides a merciful release to dogs and cats who are suffering beyond redemption. (You can see some of these animals and learn more about PETA’s lifesaving work here: http://investigations.peta.org/petas-rescue-team/) and they move mountains to stop the crisis at its source. Last year alone, they sterilized more than 11,000 animals, preventing untold thousands from being born only to end up homeless.
