The move comes after Moonpig stopped selling cards featuring 'captive great apes in unnatural situations' following a similar intervention by animal rights campaigners.
rights lobby group Peta had raised concerns the major online retailer was"promoting" the"breathing-impaired" dog breeds.
A search for"pug" and"French bulldog" on Moonpig's website on Friday did not find any cards showing either breed. The RVC, the UK's largest independent veterinary school, said at the time that a"pug can no longer be considered a 'typical dog' from a health perspective".Peta director of corporate projects Yvonne Taylor said:"By banning images of pugs and French bulldogs, Moonpig is acting responsibly and helping put an end to the promotion of dog breeds with painful, life-threatening deformities.
