Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I don’t think we should ban breeds, but that we should at least take steps to undo some of the damage we’ve done. There’s no reason that our furry little friends should have to suffer the health issues that we’ve caused through our selective breeding of them.

I agree completely. Much as I love pugs and bulldogs for being adorable, I'd never get one myself. I'd feel too bad about the inbreeding abuse to not think about it every day even as I'd love my wheezing lil' buddy..
