Purebred dogs are so cute, but they are the sorrow of dogs

Everyone likes purebred dogs, teacup dogs, beetles, Pomeranian...... They have cute and exquisite appearances, which satisfy all human imaginations of pet dogs. Everyone can spend a lot of money to buy them. But purebred dogs are indeed a sad thing for dogs.

There was a movie called "The Sorrow of Purebred Dogs", which revealed that in order to breed purebred dogs, merchants ignored biological genetic rules and allowed dogs to mate and reproduce. This breeding method greatly ensures the integrity of the dog's quality characteristics, but the genetic defects caused by inbreeding and congenital diseases caused by torture the dog's life. After the

documentary was broadcast, it quickly triggered many reflections on purebred dogs.

How do purebred dogs step by step into human sight?

First of all, the concept of purebred dogs dates back to Britain in the mid-19th century, when a large number of British rich people spent a lot of money to breed purebred dogs.

was then sought after by poets, raising purebred dogs became a trend and quickly swept across other Western countries. The United Kingdom, the United States and Germany have successively established dog breeding associations, dog clubs, dog industry associations and other institutions, setting a series of clear standards for the appearance characteristics of purebred dogs.

Since then, raising purebred dogs no longer aims to be simple companionship, but is a symbol of wealth and identity. Even in contemporary society, raising a precious purebred dog is a way to prove that you are "not short of money".

In order to pursue the appearance characteristics of "purebred dogs" and satisfy human aesthetic taste, we have to artificially interfere with the reproduction of dogs, and inbreeding is the most direct and effective way.

This breeding method can inherit the appearance of a dog to the greatest extent, thereby cultivating an ideal purebred dog. According to statistics, about 90% of dog breeds are currently bred by human intervention.

Purebred dogs meet human aesthetic needs well, but there are more than 500 genetic defects in purebred dogs. Science proves that every purebred dog has a variety of health problems. Certain diseases can torture dogs throughout their lives and greatly shorten their lifespan. It is worth noting that the purer the dog breed, the higher the probability of suffering from genetic diseases.

Take the beard dog as an example. Humans finally cultivate purebred pugs with wrinkled skin on the head, short face, and sunken noses through inbreeding. Little do they know that the pug's respiratory tract is extremely short due to the short face and the sunken nose bridge. Breathing problems have also become a lifelong nightmare for the beads.

Take the teacup dog as an example. Its cute and compact appearance is crazyly sought after by many shovelers. Little do people know that as an example, purebred teacup dogs that meet human aesthetics were bred. In addition to inbreeding, people must also inject growth inhibitors into dogs and strictly control their diet. Even the dog was removed in advance before it was mature in the female dog. Teacup dogs that reproduce this method have extremely poor physical resistance, are very susceptible to viruses, and have a short lifespan.

Our common purebred dogs cannot escape the bad luck of genetic defects. For example, eye diseases and joint problems are inevitable problems for Labradors; Springer spaniels have to endure the pain caused by unique enzyme deficiency throughout their lives, and more than 60% of golden retrievers will die of cancer; Great Dane's huge size leads to huge heart burden; Bulldogs' sunken noses lead to difficulty in breathing, and their lifespan is only 6 years on average.

In fact, the so-called purebred dogs are certain characteristic tags that humans force to give to dogs, and ignore the dog's physical health. With purebred dogs as our pursuit, this deformed aesthetic and the cruel industrial chain behind it are worth our personal consideration.

When choosing a pet dog, everyone should not "judgment the dog by appearance", but should pay more attention to the health of the dog.

We follow the natural genetic rules, encourage reasonable breeding and reproduction, and reduce genetic diseases and genetic defects in dogs. Only in this way can the greatest love for dogs.
