PETA calls out Georgia for ‘outdated’ use of live bulldog mascot following national championship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can’t UGA find it in its heart to honestly examine the impact of its promotion of deformed dogs and call time on its outdated, live-animal mascot program?”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.”

I guess I missed the day PETA called out Fauci for torturing puppies.

Don’t know the answers to those questions. But if I were UGA I would certainly find out.

UGA is treated extremely well and gets lots of attention. I know from experience.

That’s what bulldogs do. They sleep, snore and fart.
I have had several.

They require a lot of exercise. About 1000 feet of walking and they lie down.

If I could afford to, I would have two Bulldogs. One would be named Smedley and the other Daly.

First one to guess the significance of those two names gets a (virtual) cookie.

We have owned three bulldogs.

We had special needs boys, and our first bulldog was so good with them.
