BBC播出的纪录片《纯种狗的悲哀》着重提出了很多纯种犬只所承受的严重健康问题。人类为了犬类比赛以及所谓的“优良血统”而数十年将纯种狗近亲繁殖，如今导致了诸多犬种从癫痫症到癌症的一系列威胁生命的病症。 查尔斯国王骑士獚犬因为头骨太小而不能容纳大脑；牛头犬的怪异形状致使他们无法自然交配生产；金毛犬极易患上癌症……人类手下的生命，不是产品，并不存在标准化和优劣，生而平等，他们都有活下去的权利。

It's been an embarrassingly-long time in the making, but the DVD of Pedigree Dogs Exposed - Three Years On is now available. You can order from the Passionate Productions website or via Amazon UK (although only the PAL version is available via Amazon). I confess I was exhausted after we finished the film, so it took me ages to write the blurb for the sleeve. Then we had a couple of technical glitches. Then, just as they were ready for despatch, I noticed a line of text missing off the sleeve copy, so it was back to the printers for a re-print. Apologies to all those who have waited an age for the copies they've ordered - they started to be mailed out at the end of last week and the rest will be despatched today and tomorrow. If, that is, I can continue to keep them safe from the jaws of foster pup Maddie - a setter/collie x youngster that is clearly a plant from the anti-PDE campaigners. She's mad for the DVD boxes.
