Presenting Crufts Without Thinking or Asking

Did anyone ask the Crufts presenter with dwarfism (achondroplasia) about her opinion on intentionally breeding dwarf dogs with the rather predictable health problems that follow?

Did anyone ask the Crufts presenter with spinal cord injuries about his opinion on intentionally breeding dogs that have predictably high spinal and neuro-muscular problems? Did anyone ask the mixed-race presenter about his opinion on Cruft’s focus on “pure breeds,” and whether he thought so much attention on coat color might be a tad problematic?

Did anyone ask the gay presenter why she was there at all? Is it a requirement that every dog show have a gay commentator, and that none of them know a single thing about dogs?

Oh yes, I am a HORRIBLE PERSON for asking.

But don’t you think asking those questions might have been just what the dogs would want asked?
