Exactly. That damn dog lives better than most humans.@AdoptedVOL your support is appreciated. I’m not sure exactly what this is about but I assume it’s a reaction of Uga X (Que) passing on Tuesday. I mentioned this on a different thread. RIP Que!
Again, thanks for the support. I can’t understand PETA thinking that GA mistreats Uga. These dogs eat better and live a more comfortable life than most of us! It’s unfortunate that their lifespan is so short.
It really is. I’m sure there are many Texas folks just as pissed about it as we are. There are some lines that you just shouldn’t cross. A rival touting GA as a trash program or making fun of GA or Kirby is acceptable and fair game! Heck it’s part of CFB, makes it more fun. I expect it and welcome it! But mocking the death of a beloved mascot is too much. Whether Uga, Smokey, Bevo or any of the others. It’s not acceptableExactly. That damn dog lives better than most humans.
I thought this was about the tweet that Texas Barstool sent out . That was classless as it gets.
All dogs are gifts. No matter what size or look they have, all have that special bond/spirit that connects to us. Cats on the other hand....It really is.

PETA's claim...@AdoptedVOL your support is appreciated. I’m not sure exactly what this is about but I assume it’s a reaction of Uga X (Que) passing on Tuesday. I mentioned this on a different thread. RIP Que!

I’m certainly no expert on dog breeding, but what you say does seem logical and sensible. On the one hand I love an English Bulldog, and I love our mascot! This is a tough one for me, but I certainly understand your point.It's not so much that Georgia's mascots live a bad life. They are obviously pampered and well looked after. I love all dogs regardless of breed, but there is no doubt that many of the short faced breeds we as humans have created are extremely unhealthy animals overall. That is our fault, not the dogs'. I would adopt any short faced breed but I wouldn't let them have puppies because I don't think it's fair to the animals to continue to produce a breed that has so many concerns. It's like if a breed got cancer 95% of the time but we keep breeding them because they're cute.. not a very comforting thought for real dog lovers.
Before anyone says I'm a PETA weirdo, I think they are a joke of an organization and whatever correct message they try to push will always be overshadowed by their more ludicrous beliefs.
Has nothing to do with UGA and everything to do with PETA being an organization run by psychopaths@AdoptedVOL your support is appreciated. I’m not sure exactly what this is about but I assume it’s a reaction of Uga X (Que) passing on Tuesday. I mentioned this on a different thread. RIP Que!

Created by mankind, but let’s just skip that for now and focus on the subject at hand. Uga died and a TX barstool account on Twitter made a tasteless joke about it. I think there are some things, friendly banter aside, you just don’t joke about. The death of a dog being one of them. How do you think Volnation would respond to this if was Smokey? RIP good boy Que.Flat-faced dogs are an abomination
english ones are worse, but most "pure" bulldogs have problems.My understanding is breeders have recognized the flat-face, while highly desired in the market, has turned out awful for the breed and steps are being taken to move away from it.
Also, I thought was the French bulldogs that require assistance to faire l'amour.
There are other bully breeds and the option to have a cross with a similar breed. GA could still be the bulldogs with a mascot that is bred to be more naturally shaped and healthier.I’m certainly no expert on dog breeding, but what you say does seem logical and sensible.

GA abuses its fans by the humiliating practice of forcing them to bark like dogs! This abuse must stop!@AdoptedVOL your support is appreciated. I’m not sure exactly what this is about but I assume it’s a reaction of Uga X (Que) passing on Tuesday. I mentioned this on a different thread. RIP Que!
