PETA takes aim at Uga, demands Georgia Bulldogs mascot's retirement
An animal rights group is taking aim at the Georgia Bulldogs' beloved football mascot, saying that they're not happy with his treatment.
On Twitter, PETA shared video of Uga X, aka "Que," sitting in his dog house to avoid the rain during Saturday's game against Texas A&M.
"HE LOOKS MISERABLE," the animal rights group said on Twitter. "No dog deserves to be packed up, carted from state to state, and paraded in front of a stadium of screaming fans."
The group then demanded that UGA Athletics retire the tradition and said that "he should be at home with a loving family."
On Tuesday afternoon, PETA again tweeted about Uga, posting "Dogs are sensitive. @UGAAthletics forces Uga into stressful situations at chaotic football games. He was almost TRAMPLED at a game earlier this year. Being exploited as a mascot is not in his best interest. He should be at home. Anyone who cares about him can see that."
For the first time, I'm rooting for PETA. Oh, and fukk all dwags.
