Для тех, кому интересно. Вырождение пород собак.

Надеюсь, что хотя бы некоторые посмотрели документальный филь Би-Би-Си о вырождении некоторых популярных пород кеннел клубов. Фильм начал давать результаты. Наверное некоторые покупатели щенков начнут думать прежде, чем связывать себя с некоторыми породами собак и потом "работать на лекарства для них".

The controversial documentary Pedigree Dogs Exposed has been recognised by the broadcasting industry with a nomination for a highly coveted Broadcast Award in the ‘Best Documentary’ category (the only BBC made doc to get a nod).

The film, which highlighted ‘The greatest animal welfare scandal of our time’, has been subject to much debate in and out of the dog world.

The BBC themselves are even considering whether or not to continue broadcasting Crufts in the wake of the hard hitting programme.

The Kennel Club described Pedigree Dogs Exposed as ‘biased’ and have complained about its content to Ofcom - the broadcast regulator. However, in the weeks and months following the airing of Pedigree Dogs Exposed the Kennel Club has rapidly announced a series of initiatives to look in to the standards of pedigree dog health and has acknowledged that the public response to the documentary has sent a clear message.

Вот еще как дело было в Британском Кеннел Клубе


The BBC confirmed today that they will not be filming at Crufts in 2009

This is another major disaster for the KC, after Pedigree Dog foods withdrew sponsorship, and organisations like the RSPCA and PDSA will also not be there

On the other hand, when I registered two new litters of puppies recently, I received with the registration documents, a new guide issued by the KC, urging breeders to carry out health testing on their dogs, and explaining about genetic defects and how testing is done. At least a step in the right direction.
