Minister of Agriculture of the Netherlands, Pete Adema wants to ban dogs and cats whose “excellent” characteristics are the cause of disease and pain in these animals. According to Netherlands TimesThe minister says these characteristics, while “cute,” make life “miserable” for these animals.
For example, flat-faced dogs often have breathing problems, while cropped-eared cats experience severe pain due to cartilage malformation.
The Minister’s goal is to compile a list of all signs that effectively cause suffering to animals, and in the future to ban the importation of these breeds into the country. How this process will take place has not yet been determined. First, the minister wants to start by banning its use in TV commercials and commercials. Subsequently, if the measure is approved, the Netherlands may ban the commercialization and importation of these breeds. According to Adem, those who already have these pets at home will be able to keep them until their death.
In 2014, the country has already banned the breeding of these animals in the territory, but the importation continued.
