1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam. 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 2: Nason down to the Jersey demand of arms for the 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: pub test. Today, animal ethics groups call for breeding bands 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: on some English bulldogs pugs for example in New South Wales. 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the flat faced breed. These dogs that English bulldogs, 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 3: French bulldogs, Pugs, Cavali King Charles Spaniels often are born 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 3: with breathing defects, and the Veterinary Institute of Animal Ethics 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 3: has said that maybe we need to do something about 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 3: these breeds. They're plagued by respiratory issues and skin conditions, 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 3: so they're susceptible to costly surgeries, and vets get upset 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 3: because of the increased rates of euthanasia because people can't 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 3: afford the bills. 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: I've got such little soulful faces. I was chatting to 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: a lady with the little piece and she had the 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: pug in her arms, and I'm talking to this lady 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: and I swear the pug was just listening to what 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: I was saying. 18 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 3: Well, they're bred to be lap dogs, that's why they 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 3: have flat faces, so that your face can be really 20 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: close to this. Very cute, but they do come with 21 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 3: breathing issues and other things too. And there's saying that 22 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 3: these high risk cross breeds, or these high risk breeds, 23 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: it can be an act of cruelty to breed animals 24 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: who will struggle. These dogs are so well loved. How 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: do you feel a breeding ban on flat faced dog breeds? 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 3: Are you flat flaced dog breed? Does it pass the 27 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: pub test? 28 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: Absolutely not? I totally disagree. I've got two bulldogs at home, 29 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: so they're Aussie bulldog, British bulldogs, whatever you want to 30 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: call them. But the dog's been around for over one 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: hundred years. Just because of the flat nose doesn't mean 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: there's nothing to be looked after. My two live like 33 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: King and Queen, never slept the night out in their life. 34 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: They've got a flat nose that they do all right 35 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: in forty five degree heat in Sydney. I'm human and 36 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: I've got a breathing problem, and you're going to make 37 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: me get UK and eight or sterilized. 38 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: I've got two pugs. They are the most beautiful dogs 39 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 4: I've ever owned, and I think it shouldn't be about 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: banning the breede or stopping the breeds. I think responsible 41 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: ownership should come into play. Don't put collars on dogs 42 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 4: like that. Harnesses only you know and I think we 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: should be focusing on banning or really scraping down on 44 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: backyard breed. I don't think we should punish the dog. 45 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. I've been a breeder of cavaliers for 46 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: over twenty years and we've never ever had to put 47 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: a dog down because of its breathing issues. That's why 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: we do health testing. And it just breaks my heart 49 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: to think that we could lose this beautiful breed because 50 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: of these animal rights groups. 51 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: There you go, thank you law dogs. 52 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: What's of love for them?
