AKC and KKK BFF? Get real PETA!!!

In yet another moronic, lame, sensationalist attempt to garner support for their whacked out cause, they go and borrow some outfits from the local KKK to go to a dog show. Likening dog breeders to anti-social hatemongers like the Klan is absolutely insane – even for PETA!

Like the Klan, dog breeders who subscribe to the AKC standards are all about the sanctity of “pure bloodlines.” So what if beagles have epileptic seizures, Dalmatians are deaf, and pugs can barely breathe because of how they are purposely bred to look a certain way? Looks are everything!

Someone over at sfgate.com makes a great point:

if they were lynching and shooting and dragging other dogs behind pickups BECAUSE of their Mutt-iness, THEN perhaps you could draw a parallel. Otherwise, I think not.

Umm… I know people who breed showdogs. They take better care of their dogs than they do themselves! Oddly enough people are born with the same ailments they are complaining about. If something is physically wrong with a dog at birth, you love it and take care of it just like you would if it were a human.

PETA clearly has no concept of dog breeding. Especially when it comes to show dog breeding! The dogs are not bred simply on the merit of their looks. Good breeding requires perfect health and temperament. The AKC serves a useful purpose in tracking the bloodlines of dogs so you can verify that they are not inbred like many of the members of the Klan.

Not a one of those show dogs is unhealthy, improperly cared for, inbred or poorly tempered.
From the AKC web site:

AKC Mission Statement

The American Kennel Club is dedicated to upholding the integrity of its Registry, promoting the sport of purebred dogs and breeding for type and function. Founded in 1884, the AKC® and its affiliated organizations advocate for the purebred dog as a family companion, advance canine health and well-being, work to protect the rights of all dog owners and promote responsible dog ownership.

AKC ‘s Objective:

• Advance the study, breeding, exhibiting, running and maintenance of purebred dogs.

AKC’s Core Values:

* We love purebred dogs
* We are committed to advancing the sport of the purebred dog
* We are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of our Registry
* We protect the health and well-being of all dogs
* We cherish dogs as companions
* We are committed to the interests of dog owners
* We uphold high standards for the administration and operation of the AKC
* We recognize the critical importance of our clubs and volunteers

Yet somehow, PETA insists these breeders are reponsible for mutts being in shelters! The AKC promotes quality breeding programs – not inbreeding or unplanned breeding!

They don’t seem to complain much about beauty pageants – which let’s face it, they are the same thing. People are animals too! They have no problem with Pam Anderson or Jenna Jameson undergoing plastic surgery (you guessed it, they’re not real!) because “looks are everything!”

Maybe they should start comparing cosmetic surgeons, diet gurus, fashion industry execs, etc. to the Klan as well. PETA seriously needs to get a grip on reality!
