PETA sues American Kennel Club over standards for French bulldogs, other breeds
Briefly

PETA filed a lawsuit against the AKC to demand changes in the breed standards for French bulldogs and several other breeds, citing health issues as a consequence of these standards. PETA alleges that these standards lead to the breeding of dogs with unhealthy and deformed traits, claiming that the AKC's standards facilitate this practice. In response, the AKC asserts its dedication to the health and welfare of purebred dogs, claiming that its standards do not encourage the breeding of unhealthy dogs and promoting responsible breeding practices.
