"Uga X: PETA's Call for Change and a Legacy in Georgia Football"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox News
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has renewed its call for the University of Georgia to end its use of live bulldog mascots following the death of Uga X, the school's winningest mascot. PETA claims that the breeding of breathing-impaired bulldogs for use as mascots is cruel and leads to suffering and premature deaths. The organization is urging the university to replace live animal mascots with human mascots and to stop promoting deformed dogs.
