More details from petition creator

Now that the RSPCA has pulled out of the UK's annual Cruft show it is about time that the government also took steps to stop the public parade of in-bred dogs

As an example the King Charles spaniel, many are suffering from syringomyelia, which is when a dog's brain is too big for its skull. It is compared to a size 9 foot being shoved into a size 5 shoe. Alot of Boxer dogs also suffer from epilepsy, pugs with breathing problems and bulldogs who are unable to mate or give birth unassisted. The in-breeding is too extreme and should be banned.

Below is a quote from the RSPCA's chief vet, stated in a BBC programme: "What I see in front of me is a parade of mutants. It's some freakish, garish beauty pageant that has nothing frankly to do with health and welfare."

Help to stop this in-breeding program and public display of the poor animals for human self satisfication.
