Between the people that breed flat faced animals - including cats, to those that breed german shepherds with slumped rumps (the breeders call it a "show line") that suffer from hip dysplasia - I've just got to ask.. what the fuck is wrong with animal "afficianados" that support such shit.
The dog might be something like an accessory to them. They might not care for the animal.
