PETA is calling for the University of Georgia to be “a winner not only in football but also in its treatment of” animals. In the wake of its second straight National Championship, the animal rights organization wants the school to immediately halt its use of its live mascot, an English bulldog named Uga. The group claims that the school’s use of Uga “drives demand for breathing-impaired breeds (BIBs),” like pugs, boxers, and English and French bulldogs. But the school doesn’t seem to have any plans in breaking up with its beloved mascot. There have been 10 “Ugas” since it the mascot first introduced in 1956, each of which has been descended from the original.
