Cruel breeding: This verdict causes gasps!

A "cute" sight for many, but bulldogs have to struggle with the health consequences of their short noses.

A dog's barely existing nose became a court case this week! The case attracted particular attention because the owner of the male dog is the president of the "Bulldog Club" and proudly referred to the animal's many awards. But the judge was not impressed by this and passed a clear verdict: the award-winning dog is a case of cruelty to animals.

They pant, rattle and gasp desperately for air: those dog breeds that have had their noses "bred away", so to speak. What some people find funny, however, is torture for these animals.
