Just because we can doesn't mean we should

I ran across these pictures today. WTF... was all I could think. I know the genes of dogs are ultimately very manipulative into nearly any size, shape, and color but holy cripe.What kind of life is this for a dog?

 

[Blue_Dog]

Not the easiest one.

 

[Paige]

Poor baby!

 

[Kat09Tails]

Just in case you have no idea what I'm blabbering about ^^ the above pictures are not the same dog. These are Dosa (Korean Mastiffs) because sometimes neos are just not unhealthy enough for some people - . -

He . . . looks like his skin is 3 sizes too big :yikes:

 

[AdrianneIsabel]

depressing

 

[ACooper]

and I can't think of anything else to say about his future.

 

[PWCorgi]

Good lord, that last dog doesn't even look comfortable just STANDING there.

Oh you found that lovely Dosa site? They also have another section devoted to fighting Tosas. I do hope the breeding of Dosas is limited. Although, I don't know why you would want a dog with THAT many wrinkles.

*sigh*

I can't really think of anything to say other that how bad I feel for these dogs...

 

[Fran101]

Other than the wrinkles the dog doesn't even look ok just STANDING there for a picture
:/ poor dog..

I posted a thread about this breed a while back. I feel terrible for these dogs.

I have read that Asian culture is very stuck on visual appeal with dogs, so small and unique is what sells. Big dogs need to be very unique. I guess this is the way they are going.

So sad.

Functional wrinkles and loose skin (like helping to deter another animal getting a hold of something vital) are one thing. THAT is just a whole 'nother thing altogether. I feel so sorry for that dog. Just the pressure it must feel from all those wrinkles piling up on its eyes. . .
Even its LEGS down to the paws! Ugh, I have to stop looking.

 

[Snark]

Too bad there isn't some sort of injection that could make the breeders of those poor dogs look just as 'unique'... Fair's fair.

 

[Tortilla]

Poor thing! It's painful to even look at.

 

[Lilavati]

Too bad there isn't some sort of injection that could make the breeders of those poor dogs look just as 'unique'... Fair's fair.

The frightening thing is that there are some very horrible diseases with some of the same effects . . .

 

[thehoundgirl]

How sad. Poor dog.

 

[MinPinOwner]

wow. Lot of extra skin on those dogs. Doesn't look comfortable to have all the extra skin.

 

[Locke]

How is that "look" even the slightest bit appealing? Sickening.

 

[Romy]

They remind me of naked mole rats with fur.
