Hank, you cow-eating mongrel, you've got me on PETA's website now and I can't get off. (And was it you who posted about that Bravo show?)

Bravo: Irresponsible New Series Will Cost Animals Their Lives
According to a July 22 NBC Universal news release, the Bravo television network will soon debut a new series, Showdog Moms & Dads. The release states that the program will focus on dog shows and “the passionate owners who sacrifice so much for the benefit of their pooch.”
On July 30, PETA shared members’ concerns and outrage over this plan with Bravo Senior Vice President of Programming and Production Frances Berwick. PETA reminded Ms. Berwick that our nation’s shelters are forced to kill between 3 and 4 million dogs and cats annually—an estimated 25 percent of whom are purebred—for lack of good homes and asked her to reconsider airing the series, which will inevitably promote the breeding of dogs. We also respectfully suggested that those who irresponsibly bring more animals into this overpopulated world—and often subsequently mutilate them for “cosmetic” purposes—are not making any sort of “sacrifice.”
We have yet to receive a response from Ms. Berwick. Please contact her and—in a kind and courteous manner—ask that she exercise her power to put the brakes on this potentially disastrous plan. Please also suggest that if she is not willing to cancel the series, she should consider showing how many other, equally deserving animals die in shelters in the time it takes for a breeder’s litter to be born. Advise Ms. Berwick that only that perspective would truly provide viewers with the “sneak peak … behind the scenes” at dog shows and “programming with a unique point of view” that the network promises:
