Moonpig is to stop selling greetings cards featuring images of pugs and French bulldogs after campaigners complained it “normalises their suffering from respiratory ailments”
The major online retailer removed the cards from its site after animal rights group Peta raised concerns it was ‘promoting’ the ‘breathing-impaired’ dog breeds.
A search for “pug” and “French bulldog” on Moonpig’s website on Friday did not yield cards showing either breed. The move comes after a Royal Veterinary College study published in May 2022 suggested that “urgent action is needed as many health issues of pugs are associated with their extreme body shape”.
