The Netherlands announced on Friday that it wants to ban the ownership of some pets suffering health problems due to some genetic mutations which, however, give them an appearance that is usually liked, for example, snub-nosed dogs.

Dutch Agriculture Minister Pete Adema said he would try to outlaw the ownership of certain breeds and ban the distribution of their photos in advertisements or on social media.

“We make life miserable for these innocent animals just because we like them and look cute,” said Adema.

“Owners have the best of intentions, but are often unaware of the dark side of their pets’ appearance,” she added.

What breeds will be banned?

Adema said the government would compile a list of affected breeds, but public broadcaster NOS reported that pugs or pug they may be among the prohibited breeds.

” dogs with too short a muzzle are constantly suffocating,” Adema emphasized, adding that breeds cats with recurved ears also suffer from health problems.

“This issue affects me as a minister, but also as a person,” he said.

The ban will take effect after a transitional period. Those who currently own one of these pets They can keep them until you die.

According to the latest research, pugs and other dogs bred with short muzzles such as french bulldogs and Englishmore prone to health problems, especially respiratory problems.
