Protesters going for Crufts, now.
An intruder stormed into the arena as the winner of the Crufts dog show was announced on live television.
The male intruder, who was named by Crufts organisers as a protester from the animal rights group Peta, was wrestled to the ground in the middle of the show arena, the NEC in Birmingham.
Owner Yvette Short, of Edinburgh, had proudly stepped up to the podium with her best in show winner – a two-and-a-half-year-old whippet bitch called Tease – when the intruder sprinted on to the scene. She quickly grabbed Tease as several men ran down and cornered the protester in front of the live audience who began to boo. The crowd broke into applause as the intruder was taken away.
Actually, I have some sympathy with the criticism of the selective breeding of dog for visual characteristics, preferring the mutt that is crossbred. However, these twats who storm private meetings – for ultimately, that is what this is – and seek to impose their views aren’t doing their cause any good as you can see by the audience’s reaction. And I certainly feel no sympathy for them or their cause despite being inclined to agree on their main point.
So it comes down to something else entirely – exhibitionism. It’s “look at me! Look at me!” Self righteous virtue-signalling exhibitionism.
Crufts and the NEC Group said they will urgently review security procedures as the scare frightened the dogs and risked their safety.
Indeed. These arseholes don’t actually care about the animals, they care more about their “cause” and making an exhibition of themselves. It’s one way to get on the television if you are completely lacking in any form of talent and are entirely unwatchable otherwise. PETA is a very nasty organisation and one best avoided and certainly not one to give any money to.
Peta UK later tweeted a clip of the invasion and claimed activists were protesting against extreme breeding and carrying banners that said “Crufts: Canine Eugenics”.
Unlike PETA, which actually kills animals in its care.
It said there were two intruders and named them as members of the Vegan Strike Group, which bills itself as fighters against animal abuse.
Of course they are. What did we expect?
Speaking as a dog owner my first thought was for the poor dogs: the protesters and ensuing bedlam seemed to be scaring the crap out of the dogs! The level of brain deadness is alarming with these people.
It all makes sense once you realise that these people don’t give a shit about animals. This is a vehicle for their nihilist misanthropy.
Odd isn’t it? What’s the betting that all the dogs in the show had a higher IQ than these Peta idiots.
. . . and WTF is “a Vegan Strike Group” when it’s at home? Cudgelled to death with a particularly heavy leek perchance?
Reminds me of the BlackAdder IV sketch where he was supposed to have saved Haig from a pygmy woman with a sharpened mango.
I ‘effin’ despair, I really do.
Not a leek, admittedly, but I could have killed an elephant with the parsnip I dug up yesterday!
It’s “look at me! Look at me!” Self righteous virtue-signalling exhibitionism.
Unfortunately that’s the default state of the ‘activists’ of today. Disagree with them and all sorts of unsavoury epithets will come your way.
To be fair, they have seen the success that the left have had with otherwise rational people keeping schtum about all sorts of left-wing lunacy for fear of being called “racist”.
A shame the winner wasn’t a Doberman. They do not like intruders. 🙂
They should have set the dogs onto them … >};o)
