Purebred dogs

When I saw an advertisment for this BBC documentary airing on BBC America, I didn't catch that this was an expose on the abuses of breeding dogs. I watched the documentary tonight and it is another abuse we inflict on animals that should be stopped. As an owner of a pure breed who is a rescue (he lived in rural Tenn. and would run along highways in his first "home", then he couldn't handle another person's other dog (competitive), so then he came to us) and who has agonized over his degenerative blindness, this is a subject not far from home for me. I love him and don't discriminate in terms of ableness for humans or animals, but he clearly STRUGGLES to live a normal life. What these breeders have done to animals is inexcusable and perverse.
Here's the PETA blog link to a clip from the Today show they posted.
