PETA needs to take a look at Texas if it’s true y’all are tranquillizing this poor animal. Much better use of their time than questioning UGA about the most pampered and loved dog in the country. We all should have a life as good as UGAs.
Poor Bevo. It’s beyond cruel to have to sedate a non domesticated animal only to bring him into a stadium with all the noise and activity. And obviously the tranquilizers don’t always work. Next time he could kill someone. Then after all the soul searching and finger pointing poor Bevo would be destroyed. All for something he should not be blamed for doing. It’s not his fault Texas is stupid.
No tranqs are used, whoever said that doesn't know what they're talking about. Each new Bevo is trained to be chill around noise and chaos at a young age. The article I read said they have speakers playing game noise and the Silver Spurs (handlers) will randomly do those noisemaker things. I remember his first few games (back in 2016) he was pretty frisky, but he's a vet now and it doesn't bother him.

Now let's talk about inbreeding dogs that have a whole host of health issues, the biggest one is breathing problems due to the ultra short nasal cavity. Maybe the sane, reasonable people at PETA should look into that.

Our UGAs have shown no sign of having problems breathing. Guess if you had your way all bulldogs would be destroyed since they MIGHT have health issues. Better add Goldens to your list since most die from cancer before the age of 8. And greyhounds too.
UGA X lived a very long life for his breed. Like all his forebears he received the best vet care imaginable. He was healthy. All except one of his forebears (who had heart issues) lived a normal life span. There is no dog anywhere who has a more pampered life.
He is the most popular mascot in college football. He does inspire jealousy though. Some schools actually have to resort to bad tempered steers.
I’d be ill tempered too if I was drugged up and exposed to a loud stadium. I’d probably be so upset I’d attack dogs and people standing nearby too. Poor beast. He deserves better

They should. If you look at older pics of the bulldog mascots they looked very different. Smaller around the middle (So was I a long time ago) and looked much healthier and stronger. There is no doubt that the inbreeding of the dogs have been a terrible thing.
