Totally revise dog breeding standards and the way dogs are bred!

The suffering our modern day pedigree dogs face today is horrific. Not only are they in pain but they are also deformed and are unable to function as a healthy dog.

PLEASE sign this petition to call on the government to bring in new laws aimed at the kennel club. Thus bringing in new breeding standards that state breeding for function and health as oppose to form and looks! Also making it illegal to directly inbreed with a related pair. Thus aiming to eradicate unhealthy blood lines with many genetic disorders (all due to inbreeding) and stop dogs suffering from severe pain and deformities!!

There was a time when breeding dogs was not about looks but about talent. Man needed dogs that could perform a certain task better than any other animal on earth. The original philosophy of dog breeding was "form follows function".
That in fact is 100 percent correct. Let's say you wanted breed a dog with more power then you breed the most powerful males to the most powerful females. If you keep doing this then inevitably the dogs will start to look more and more muscular... "Form follows function".
When doggie beauty pageants became all the rage the opposite philosophy reared it's ugly head the first time... "Function follows form".
This is, of course, completely ridiculous. People literally sat down and said: "What do we want this breed to look like?"
So then they decided to create these ridiculous standards which make no sense to anyone who truly understands dogs. The result was that sheep herding dogs who had been bred previously to be superior herders now could not herd anymore... Guard dogs could not guard anymore and so on...
The bulldog is a breed that used to have the ability to hold its own against a 2000 pound bull. I do not condone the atrocity of bull baiting. I am just trying to point out that doing battle with a 2,000 pound behemoth is a pretty severe test for a 60 pound animal. A challenge that can only be met by a dog that is 100 percent healthy, extremely powerful, athletic and brave beyond compare...
The bulldog of old was all of these things and more.
The AKC and the Kennel Club have taken this magnificent breed and reduced it to a fragile creature which is not able to breed without help, give birth naturally, run for more than a minute or even breathe without immense effort!!

Please sign this petition to help us restore man's best friends to their former glory and allow them to live happy healthy lives before its too late!!!

Thank you
