Never my very favorite people, PETA continues to amaze. This time, though, they are honestly just wasting their breath.
PETA suggests Georgia could use a robot dog or a costumed mascot instead of the white English bulldogs that have represented the school at football games since 1956.So, the preferred alternative is to move the breed into extinction, replaced by unfeeling robots? I suppose in some absolute sense that might reduce suffering, since all life entails some suffering, and zero must necessarily be less than anything.
Last week, bulldog mascot Uga VII died at the age of 4, apparently of a heart ailment.
Desiree Acholla of PETA says bulldogs are prone to heart problems and other medical issues because of inbreeding.
On the other hand, Uga VII, as all of his predecessors, enjoyed a life filled with the adoration of tens of thousands. But what is love next to... well, there's no indication he suffered, really, just that he died young.
"Better never to have lived and loved, than to have lived at all."
