I will never understand this breed.

[–] Turkey_Titty_city@kbin.social 43 points 2 years ago (2 children)

a lot of people don't care about animals. they just want something cute to own and brag about.

or that it's trendy and hip. like doodles. half the dogs at my park are doodles because they are a designer status dog breed.

Agreed. It's sad that they exist. Everytime I look at them, I can only see an animal struggling to breathe.

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

The sadist's favorite breed.

Imo the only humane thing to do is put them all down. Same with bulldogs.

Their entire existence must be suffering.

My mother in law has a bull dog, it's existence is pain.

It can't breathe right, it can barely see because of fat rolls on its head and skin tags on its eyelids, And it smells awful because of said fat rolls being hard to clean and keep dry.

I took my lab to the vet, and next to us was a bulldog, and it sounded like it lived in agony.

It's breathing was incredibly laboured, it could hardly walk and the noises it made just * existing * were awful.

I overheard her saying he was much better, I dread to think of what worse looked like.

Definitely thought you were going to say Your mother is a bulldog. I had some questions

[–] Khalic@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

How about we start with outlawing the breed, Herr Fur-rer

Co-worker at an old job had 2 pugs. Their eyes kept popping out of their sockets. It got to the point where she didn't even take them to the vet anymore when that happened, she just popped them back in herself. She saw nothing wrong with this. In fact, during the time I knew her, those two pugs were elderly and eventually died. She then went out and got another.

I mean.. wtf. Why would you support that?

[–] Rogue_General@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh my God that can actually happen? TIL

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yes, it’s a real thing. I wouldn’t recommend googling it.

[–] TheHottub@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's just a regular pug

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

The way I've heard it described "What if an alien race enslaved us and thought that people with down syndrome were their favorites and specifically bred that genetic trait because they liked it". That's similar to what people are doing with these pugs.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think a better example would be asthma and a nose so small it can't be used for breathing.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I feel personally attacked by this comment.

those mars air scenes from this movie were traumatizing as a child

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] MaxHardwood@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

The original Total Recall

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Lmao same! Another childhood traumatizer for me was that scene in Demolition Man at the end where Wesley Snipes was frozen then shattered.

[–] Repossess6855@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

This made my fucking day lmao
