Despite PETA protesters interrupting the Westminster Dog Show during judging for Best in Show, Sadie the Scottish Terrier was awarded the coveted title. It was her 3rd time at Westminster.The show took place Monday and Tuesday, February 15th and 16th at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The protesters entered the ring and held up signs that declared 'Mutts Rule' and 'Breeders Kill Shelter Dogs', a common slogan used by PETA; their reasoning being that when people buy a puppy from a breeder, a shelter dog that could have been saved is put to sleep. Nevermind that their organization euthanizes 95% of the animals they take in (the proof is public record; despite taking in 3317 dogs they only adopted out 4. Yes, 4. For the entire year.)
I could rant about PETA's incompetence all day, but I'll save that for another post.
Instead, here are some great pictures from Westminster!
Like I could resist posting the Mini Bull.
Wiener dog wink!
