Animal rights protesters were removed from Crufts Dog Show after trying to run onto the arena floor.

PETA, an animal rights group, said that a "supporter holding a sign reading Boycott Breeders attempted to storm the arena floor before the winner was announced" at the annual dog show in Birmingham.

Activists also unfurled a banner in the stands among the audience with the same message. A spokesman for the Kennel Club, the group behind Crufts, said that protesters were "swiftly removed" by security to "ensure the safety and welfare of the dogs and owners".

On their website, PETA accused claimed that the dog show "glorifies the breeding of deformed and disabled animals," and "also exacerbates the homeless dog and companion animal overpopulation crises by encouraging people to dash out to buy the latest 'must-have' breed they saw on television".

In his statement, the Kennel Club spokesman pushed back against the group's claims.

"Far from perpetuating the homeless dog crisis as PETA claims, Crufts is a unique platform which educates millions of visitors," he said, "and viewers on Channel 4, about how to get the right dog for your lifestyle, so that all dogs, whether rescue dogs or puppies, have a home for life.

"We celebrated hundreds of rescue dogs at Crufts this year, and have a dedicated rescue dog area, as well as our Discover Dogs zone, which help would-be owners to find the right dog or puppy for them and make responsible choices about this life-long decision."

He added: "We are at the forefront of improving dog health and invest in research, develop health tests and educate breeders, owners and judges about the importance of ensuring health is their top priority."

The protests did not disrupt day four of Crufts for long, which saw an Australian shepherd named Viking crowned Best in Show.

The three-year-old dog, from Solihull, Birmingham, beat 24,000 canines from around the world to claim the show's top honour at the NEC.

Viking is co-owned by John Shaw, Kerry Kirtley and Melanie Raymond, who said: "We all dream of winning best in show at Crufts."

Yup. They have quite a large death toll, even if you believe it when they say the ones they kill aren't adoptable. Hell, some are killed the same day they're taken. Plus they support eco-terrorists who firebomb medical research labs

Yea PETA are idiots. They sometimes have a point. Like with the deformities in certain dog breeds. But they kill so many animals while saying they are fighting for them. Fuck em

That's how most things work unfortunately. It's useful having a controlled opposition you can easily fund to help keep up the narrative they're your enemy.

PETA doesn't believe that animals should be pets or adopted.

So they usually just kill the animals in their giant freezers.

Generally, the point of dog shows is for breeders to show off the quality of their stock/lines, which means the goal is the best structure within breed standards (round bone, good elbows and hips, all the different body length ratios, etc.). All the stacking, trotting, and evaluation is done to allow the judge to see that the dog is not deformed or disabled.

Maybe I'm missing what this particular show is going for, but again, generally, "designer" breeds don't see action at dog shows. But if they have a rescue arena show, that's awesome, and is obviously a whole different idea. Because rescues are always spayed/neutered, so the breeding aspect is removed entirely.
