PETA filed a lawsuit against the American Kennel Club, seeking to abolish breed standards for five popular dog breeds, alleging that these standards endorse physical traits causing deformities, suffering, and premature death. The lawsuit claims these standards conflict with the club's stated objectives of advancing canine health. Bully breeds and pugs are highlighted as having notably shorter life expectancies, raising ethical debates about animal breeding practices. While certain breeds remain popular, the ethics of breeding continue to be scrutinized, with some countries banning such practices on welfare grounds.
