People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has launched a major campaign against the University of Georgia for its use of live English bulldog for its mascot.

A Feb. 28 news release from the organization labeled “Bulldog bestiality?” cites breeding practices that include male dogs being “sexually stimulated by invasive human hands.”

In a statement to The College Fix, PETA said that “UGA’s mascot program is driving up the demand for dogs who can barely breathe or breed naturally, and people who are defending it are unaware of those two facts.”
