See why animal activists want the Western Bulldogs AFL team to change their name to the Western Mutts and retire their 'deformed' mascots
An AFL club has reportedly been urged to retire their mascots and change their name after receiving a complaint from animal welfare group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). The complaint, sent to the Western Bulldogs, related to what PETA described as their 'deformed' mascots, Caesar and Sunny, who attend every home game dressed in Bulldogs attire. PETA campaign advisor Mimi Bekhechi issued a letter to Bulldogs club president Kylie Watson-Wheeler in which she urged the club to recognise the health issues with the bulldogs breed, suggesting that the club should change their name to the Western Mutts to promote animal wellbeing.
