I will never understand this breed.

a lot of people don't care about animals. they just want something cute to own and brag about.

or that it's trendy and hip. like doodles. half the dogs at my park are doodles because they are a designer status dog breed.

Agreed. It's sad that they exist. Everytime I look at them, I can only see an animal struggling to breathe.

The sadist's favorite breed.

Co-worker at an old job had 2 pugs. Their eyes kept popping out of their sockets. It got to the point where she didn't even take them to the vet anymore when that happened, she just popped them back in herself. She saw nothing wrong with this. In fact, during the time I knew her, those two pugs were elderly and eventually died. She then went out and got another.

I mean.. wtf. Why would you support that?

Oh my God that can actually happen? TIL

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, it’s a real thing. I wouldn’t recommend googling it.

[–] TheHottub@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's just a regular pug

The way I've heard it described "What if an alien race enslaved us and thought that people with down syndrome were their favorites and specifically bred that genetic trait because they liked it". That's similar to what people are doing with these pugs.

I think a better example would be asthma and a nose so small it can't be used for breathing.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I feel personally attacked by this comment.

those mars air scenes from this movie were traumatizing as a child

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Lmao same! Another childhood traumatizer for me was that scene in Demolition Man at the end where Wesley Snipes was frozen then shattered.
