The new Vodafone Ads (Soap and Garden) is a bad news again for real-life pugs! Many people who saw the ads last time purchased Pugs, and breeders cranked out as many Pugs as they could. Later, when their appeal wore off, many dogs ended up in animal shelters or were simply abandoned.These Pugs face unique health challenges. Their unnaturally short faces and upturned noses lead to breathing difficulties and make them susceptible to heatstroke. Their compromised respiratory systems make anesthetising them a risk. Most of the females can't even give birth without the help of a veterinarian. Their large, shallow-set eyes are extremely vulnerable to injury and infection. Pugs are also prone to serious brain disease, joint problems and skin and allergy problems.
Please tell Vodafone to take advantage of humane alternatives like the 'ZooZoo' ads and be RESPONSIBLE, because 'Pug' ads cause huge suffering - Pugs are bread indiscriminately by dog breeders & sell them to people, who later dump these dogs once they get 'bored'; adding more and more dogs to the existing dog population crisis; where already thousands of dogs are longing for loving homes in shelters and streets across India. Remember, animals used in films are often treated as little more than props, and many suffer terribly behind the scenes.
