PETA calls out Georgia for ‘outdated’ use of live bulldog mascot following national championship
NY Post ^ | 01/13/2023 | Ryan Morik , Fox News

PETA is calling for the University of Georgia to be “a winner not only in football but also in its treatment of” animals.

In the wake of its second straight National Championship, the animal rights organization wants the school to immediately halt its use of its live mascot, an English bulldog named Uga.

The group claims that the school’s use of Uga “drives demand for breathing-impaired breeds (BIBs),” like pugs, boxers, and English and French bulldogs.

“As the back-to-back national champion, can’t UGA find it in its heart to honestly examine the impact of its promotion of deformed dogs and call time on its outdated, live-animal mascot program?” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. “PETA is calling on (University of Georgia president) Jere Morehead to be a peach and replace poor Uga with a human mascot who can support the team in a winning way.”

The Dinner Roll ..

Once upon a time I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President.
I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics.
There was some talk that my industry was being scrutinized by the administration, but I paid it no mind. I live in a FREE country. There’s nothing that the government can do to me if I’ve broken no laws. My wealth was EARNED honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an American President is an honor.
I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, and joined the President in a yellow dining room.
We sat across from each other at a table draped in white linen. The Great Seal was embossed on the china. Uniformed staff served our dinner.
The meal was served, and I was startled when my waiter suddenly reached out, plucked a dinner roll off my plate and began nibbling it as he walked back to the kitchen..

read the whole thing and connect the dots and application.

Yeah. Like Missouri this year, or the SEC Championship last year.

Geez. These PETA idiots need to be forced to get a job.

Just another faux organization with scads of money to pick and choose their outrages. Where are they on puppy mills, pet stores and the latest allowing animal shelters to give up certain animals for public slaughter in religious ceremonies??

That dog gets treated like royalty.

You bet.....Bulldogs are high maintenance dogs and cannot overheat. We’ve had them and that’s why they call them the lazy mans dog. Wonderful animals.

“And he’s a lot less annoying than you are.”

Only annoying to those with an agenda but lacking facts to support their agenda.

What do you mean, "and"?

The quote, that you cut off, is right there.

1. I'm not a troll. I've been here a lot longer than you, and have contributed more than you have.

There's your "And".

How many Free Republic events have you attended? How many times have you gone to Washington? Ever heard of the Tyrrany Response Team?

That's what I mean by contributing.

NOT just saying, "Read the article.", which seems to be your main contribution here.

Still love you, brother. Know-it all... 8~)

I most likely went to D.C. before you and more times, also.

If everyone stopped talking about and reporting on these losers, they would just go away.

” ... and have contributed more than you have.”

From the person that posts “GA” is pronounced “Ugg-ah”
