    The message I’m taking away is that we need to ban breeders. I was already on that boat, but I don’t know how that isn’t your takeaway instead of arguing for people’s pets to die sooner.

      Not all breeders are puppy mills, or producing brachycephalic breeds, but they are out there, and there’s other breeders putting longer noses on pugs and Frenchies.

        It’s not really the main point of this thread but look up breeding racks and really think if those other breeders are any more ethical.

          Artificial insemination is common with the breeders I am familiar with. Though I’m not sure breeding racks are necessarily animal abuse, dogs in heat are fucking horny.

      That is not what I meant to say. I argued against artificially increasing life expectancy, which does not equal arguing for decreasing natural life expectancy.
