Hang on, am I an animal or not?

Anything that follows, is anybody's guess.

But we don't breed dogs for beauty - we breed them for obscenity. We
take a characteristic that appeals to the human eye and we breed it to
ridiculous proportions, so most if not all dog breeds have associated
genetic defects. If would be like breeding women to have zzz cup
breasts, or Chinese to have luminescent day-glo yellow skin.

If you take the hereditary peers in our House of Lords, we Brits breed
for extreme ugliness.

My tabloid du jour reports on a BBC documentary (no broadcast date
mentioned) about the problems of genetic defects in dogs due to
inbreeding. There are two graphic examples of how the shape of dogs has
changed over the years with comparison pictures of a dachshund now and
100 years ago (when it could actually function as a dog) and a bassett
now and 60 years ago.

There was a ridiculous soundbite quote from the Kennel Club (surely one
of the worst governing bodies of any hobby): "We will go on working for
the benefit of pedigree dogs".

I suspect it is the beginning of the end for them. The PETA people will
be hounding them to death. :)

I broadly support the aims of PETA, but it seems to me that membership
is rather like a fashion accessory or a career move - one month a
fashion model will be on the billboards on their behalf proclaiming
that she'd rather go naked than wear fur, next month she'll be
sashaying down a red carpet swathed in dead animals.
