The pub owners should ignore PETA who have no right to TELL anyone to do anything! PETA butt out!
Or mutt out.
@@si002A better one,,wish I had thought of it!👍
It comes to something when a proper British pub with a proper British name makes the news over controversy ! There are major issues going on locally with Cost of living ! And places being provided locally for migrants when we have local people sleeping on the streets
@@Uk-tony74 exactly. I saw it recently with a hotel full of illegals, and homeless people opposite sleeping on the floor. Disgusting.
Or release the hounds.
The sheer audacity of these 🤡’s. Who the hell do they think they are? Well done for standing firm. 👏
Give PETA the traditional British 2 finger salute!
I'm Irish, and I love this traditional name of English pubs. Stay the course and be proud.
I agree. Never been in Ireland. Are they using a similar pattern to name pubs there?
I do not approve of breeding animals to the point of where they are suffering either, but to name your pub after a beloved dog that you have resqued is so loving and endearing that only the soulless will have a problem with that.
It's disgusting that the poor dog had his teeth ground down. The pain must have been excruciating. Keep the name and ignore the morons. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 72yrs
He should tell them to f--- off. How can the name of a pub make a difference to their cause?
How does PETA think it has the authority to force such a change? The arrogance and hubris floors me!
This breed of dog goes back years, always known as the English Bulldog. The love you have for any dog of any breed is what matters, if they named their pub after their dog, its looked on as tribute to a pet you you saved and gave a good life to. Good on ya! 💕🇦🇺
Amen to that hope you have a woofly day 💕
Me and my Old Bulldog are with you all the way. What a load of absolute rot. Much snoring and dribbling and happy grumblings to you.
This is not just because it refers to a Bulldog.
It is because it is a British Bulldog and, thus, a British icon.
What it actually is, is yet another insidious attack on all things British, by anti British factions.
It really not, calm down. If they don’t want to change the name they don’t have to, end of story.
@@mwd331 I refer to the fact that it HAS been attacked. And because it IS a British icon. Something which is happening more & more.
And, being deep-heritage British, I am quite calm thank you. We leave the screeching hysteria approach to foreigners.
@tappym9141 What does being deep heritage British even mean? You were born here and are white English? So am I and millions more. it's not that unique. This story is specifically designed to wind up deep heritage British people. The dog name is staying on the pub, move on. Do you visit this pub a lot to be so strongly opposed?
They should rename the pub in honour of the British hating peta agenda and call it ""the shitzu "" to make the peta handlers happy....lol
@@tappym9141 he doesn't see the bigger picture of what's obviously going on here with the anti British sentiment going on all over the world! 🏴
Instead of going after the pub owner they should be tracking down the evil bastards who grinded the poor dogs teeth down😢 so cruel glad hes being well looked after now and loved
Fgs this insanity knows no bounds
@@paultrevett1287it's straight up, rampant Narcissism.
Just say 'No' then totally ignore them.
Omg , How dare they , stand up and say NO , all this cancel culture should be ignored , enough is enough ! The Bull Dog Stays !
They don’t have to change the name? This kind of story is specifically designed to wind you up, don’t let it.
@@mwd331 So sit there and take it? The story is true, so isn't it PETA getting people wound up? Not the news outlet reporting it. Maybe you should take it up with PETA and have them calm down.
I completely agree I hope you have a woofly day 💕
@bluebird3281 yeah, pretty much, take it and stop crying about everything. I don't care, why would I take it up with PETA? Do you visit this pub a lot? I don't even understand how they got involved tbh.. there's not context at all in the report.
@@mwd331 Peta's reputation precedes them, I can't imagine any context that would make them not cranks and neither can you. If you don't care than you take it. I don't have to visit a pub to care. I know how the far left operates and you should never bend the knee to them.
In 1996 PETA demanded that Fishkill, New York change its name to Fishsave, New York. They gave no word on the Catskill Mountains. The mayor of Fishkill patiently explained that the suffix '-kill' in so many names around there is from a Dutch word meaning "creek".
Fishkill did not change its name and PETA just looked foolish.
PETA seems to be doing more harm than good for animals with their divisive attitude. Imagine the RSPCA doing this?
RSPCA,PETA,PDSA..they are all the same..fake fronts 👍
Yes.
PETA doesn't agree with pet ownership of any kind and its 'shelters' put down more animals than any other. I wouldn't trust these bozos to tell me rain is wet.
They've always done more harm than good for animals. They'd rather euthanize an animal than see them in a home "they" don't approve of for whatever reason. Their "ethical" treatment of animals is anything but if you look into them.
R5pca are scum too, believe. Research it...
PETA always gives me a reason to laugh at them! PETA regularly make fools of themselves over here in America, too!😂🤣
PETA say we shouldn't call female dogs bitches as the dogs find it insulting. They are insane.
Glad they're keeping the name 👏
If PETA had any sense they would have thanked him for rescuing the bulldog and asked to work with them to use their pub name / premises in conjunction with themselves to raise awareness of eg dog fighting and illegal breeding.
Obviously that organization has nothing to to do with sense! Your suggestion is 🎯🎯🎯
Should rename all pubs called The Royal Oak, too, in case they encourage King Charles to start climbing trees.
Charles iii is WEF. A devotee of the cult of climate 'crisis'.
What a great comment, don’t want Camilla putting her back out giving him a leg up 😂
@morganwheeleryear1123😂😂😂
King Charles the creep.
Well I’m keeping my pet Red Lion 🦁
I feel sorry for people who own Red Lions & Ships.
fancy breeding lions to be red , black or white !! , we humans are so cruel
The White Lion stands no chance. It's also racist😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spot on
This is absolutely ridiculous!! I'm sorry for what happened to that dog (it's totally wrong) but.........
Peta.... GET STUFFED
How ironic that PETA object to a name inspired by a dog rescued from horrific abuse. Through this pub Atticus’s story will become more widely known and will raise awareness of poor breeding and abusive owners, who in their right mind could think that is a bad thing?
They are concerned about the bulldogs breathing system which is kind of scrunched up compared to say a Labrador or similar, that's the only thing really but they have gone too far on this, these dogs should have responsible owners who will care for them especially their snouts.
Good morning I am Elsie the British bulldog from Fenton Stoke-on-Trent ! And as a British bulldog I am outraged on the way my gentle loving breed is being portrayed ! " Atticus you are woofly by the way 💕 " I will be very disappointed if the name of this pub changes ! Vicious dogs are a result of cruel and vicious owners !! British bulldogs are the most gentle loving animals on this earth ! And for those that disagree please contact your local mental health Centre " if you're local to Stoke-on-Trent go to the Sutherland Centre because you clearly need HELP ! " and if you know of any animals being mistreated please report their vicious owners to the RSPCA and the police unfortunately we do not have euthanasia for humans but as a bulldog I think it would be Justified to bring it back for them mystery gentle living breeds like me anyway I hope you all have a woofly day all my love and best wishes Elsie the British bulldog 💕
❤🇺🇸
British bulldogs would never be considered a vicious breed, it's not in their nature. PETA are more concerned with the bulldogs breathing, their respiratory system is kind of flat in nature which leads them to have breathing difficulties. It has gone too far through.
Good for the landlord!
Weell done fella they're part of our heritage ✨🤟
PETA people are nuts. Probably started out with good intentions. And then, well, WHO the hell do they think they are. Get everyone to sign a petition to have it stay.
yup, they've lost their way, why the need for a petition, they have no say in what the pub is called and the landlord says the name is staying and there's nothing peta can do about it
Einstein once said there are two things he thought were infinite - the universe and human stupidity. This time, stupidity has taken to a new level.
They no doubt find the British being described as ''The Bulldog Breed'' and it association with Sir Winston Churchill offensive too. They are probably also unaware that the British Bulldog is the National Animal of the United Kingdom.
Surely PETA should be concentrating on the show standards for the breed and insisting breeders should stop breeding dogs to a standard that makes breathing difficult. They should work with the kennel club. So glad that poor, tortured dog has now got a loving home.
Ignore PETA and its dumb concerns!! The bulldog is a British icon, a loving and loyal but protective breed, the pub name is perfect.
Tell em bollox. 👍🇬🇧🏴
I don’t agree with this at all, but having said that Norway and the Netherlands have banned the breeding of brachycephalic dogs. It won’t be long when that will happen here. My daughter is a vet nurse and my son in law is a vet surgeon in a busy animal hospital and they say the amount of flat nosed dogs they get in the hospital needing an operation to widen their tubes is heartbreaking, even the breathing tubes they use for these unfortunate animals are abnormally narrow. It is lovely that Atticus was rescued by this couple.
Nonsense! All breeds can have health issues.. Cocker Spainels and blindness. German Shepards and Hip Dyspasia. Proper breeding is the answer, stop trying to ban everything
It's a brilliant and most fitting name for an English pub. Our great leader himself Winston Churchill is always linked to the bulldog. The name should stay.
What would become of our world without all the woke people that watch us constantly to keep us on the right ethical path? A much better, happier place I think.
But surely the suggestion of old mutt glorifies the suffering of old dogs?
The irony is that there are no such dogs as "Old Mutts" as PETA runs kill shelters that put down over 60% of animals that are left in their care.
Possibly, but to the PETA crowd it connotes glorious diversity and mixture.
I loved the name SEA LION when that young gent spoke it... That moved me for some reason...just my 2cents...🙋🌹👍GA USA 🇺🇸
Just when you thought PETA was done embarrassing themselves.
This is what happens when people discount and denigrate history and think they are superior to the rest of us.
Great name for a pub !
No one can tell someone what to call .
Although I agree they should stop breeding this dog 😢
The fuck?
Utterly ridiculous.
So, do I take it that all the pubs called ‘The Kangaroo”, the White Hart”, ‘the Bull”, ‘the Pheasant’, ‘the Salamander’etc etc should all change their names….
Would PETA have cared if it wasn't for the fact that the owner is a Conservative party candidate?
I think saving the Bull Dog and naming the Pub for him is wonderful! If I lived in the area I would support the Pub. But it would certainly not encourage me to get a Bull dog as a pet for myself or anyone else.
The pub owner wants to tell them to jog on
PETA would get far more support if they dialed it back a bit. All this does is annoy people and has the complete opposite effect.
Mike needs to give PETA the old Agincourt reply.... this reversed.✌️
The Agincourt Salute! Haven't heard it called that for a long while! We should resurrect this fine old English term!
Nonsense. They object to tbe Britishness not the Dog
Anyway ! I'm off to walk my Sealion ! 😊
PETA should keep their nose out of this situation and leave people alone.
I hope the British pub told PETA what it can change its name to.
You know what to do if this charity seek donations
What's next, The Harp Tavern discriminates against Banjos, The Bristling Pig is an affront to cows, The White Cloud Pub is racist? Emmy's Bakery is not gender neutral...heaven save us. (Oh right, can't mention anything about Heaven so we're screwed, that we can say)
What a joke who are people wanting the pub owner to change the name. Its his establishment and he should have the right to call it as he wished. Good on the pub owner for rescuing this bulldog that has been very badly treated and now obviously ❤ed. What a bunch of cry babies . To the owner don't give in and thank you for rescuing this fur baby 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍🙂😍
Keep the name,nothing to do with animal rights,wokeness again, GLAD TO HEAR YOU ARENT BACKING DOWN,👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
None of their business. Good British name🇬🇧🇬🇧 for a pub. PETA would be better off investigating real animal cruelty that is actually happening.
How about PETA investigate the cruel killings of animals for halal meat!
Once again, we're being told what's acceptable according the woke agenda. I thought I had seen and heard it all. This reaches a new level of idiocy that boggles the mind.
Good man.
None of their bloody business! I had a Pug to the age of over 13 yrs. You just have good animal husbandry skills and your dogs healthy. Back off PETA none of your concern
we're all losing because we're being made to accept this kind of $%&*. God help us all.
Tell them to change their logo as it is offensive that they interfere in us using our national dog that represents the British spirit.
Well done, so glad they are standing firm on the name. Ignore the Woke brigade, who says what they think is right. It’s a fine name for a British pub & a lovely resident dog ❤
Keep the name!
Genetic predisposition to brain damage is also seen in many humans, who should therefore not be encouraged to breed.
One group in particular comes to mind.
How outrageously presumptuous!
This is outrageous!!!! Ive got a british bulldog and hes almost 10yrs old. Hes never had any breathing problems and lives life to the full! However, he is very well bred and came from a reputable breeder!. I do see a lot of bull breeds who are not well bred and come with upteen problems. Puppy mills are full of them. They sell them a lot cheaper and this is where problems start. Ive seen them come ove from ireland in back of a van. These puppies should still be with there mother. Its scandalous and it happens with other breeds. Instead of changing the name of a pub which is ludicrous, what good is that going to do? they should be clamping down on puppy mills, back street breeders and unregistered breeders!! Its them who cause all the problems!!
Good for you !
Just tell them to do one.
At first, I was wondering why the man used the American pronounciation of 'patronising'. Then I heard his wife speak, and I get it now.
I totally agree with peta that we have to deal with the inbreeding of dogs and the horrible Breathing problems they have but it seems very petty to use this Pub as something to make an example of, they should direct there attention towards the breeders not elsewhere.
He ought to change the name to "101 Bulldogs" just to wind the PETA cranks up.
Poor dog to have been abused like that with the tooth grinding. Glad he's got a nice owner now.
This is not the way to solve bad breeding practices
Tell them to go do one ... but in harsher words ... just twig he's a tory candidate that explains this BS
I wondered why he pronounced patronising as pay-tronising. His wife is American.
Bollox to PETA!
' It was called the Sea Lion before, did that encourage people to buy Sea Lions?'
If PETA is concerned about the health problems faced by Bulldogs, they should mount a campaign educating people about that, NOT find easy targets to make petulant demands of. Well done, sir, for standing up to them.
Bring back Pita pockets but not PETA
Believe Mr. Winston Churchill said this, "Never, never, never give up!" I respect the owners of The Old Bulldog. Stand firm. PETA has no common sense. (Attacking British traditions and values.)
Used to be our motto
The world has gone fucking insane.
Well, if anything this has given him free advertising.
Should have named it in honour of peta and called the pub a cross breed. The bulldog and shitzu will do......
If this, as implied , is to stop people having a flat faced breed which suffers to breathe then a look at the breeders rather than a traditional old pub is what is needed. Ironically the old English bulldog (British bulldog if you like) did not look like the current version having a relatively normal length snout and was quite comfortable when physically active. It was the stupid fashion for breeding such features which are deemed by some to be desirable.
What nonsense are we expected to tolerate next! Ignore PETA!
The name should NOT BE CHANGED ITS BRITISH 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Well done stand firm💯🇬🇧🌟🌟🌟
“The Old Mutt” sounds like an insult.
If they were really concerned about the welfare of dogs the obvious suggestion would be reversion to the old name of “The Sea Lion”.
They'll be telling you what you can name your pet next because the name may offend your dog....like calling your Chihuahua Brutus or your St Bernard Nigel😂
Nobody thinks that, its a boozers name. I think they might have more productive things to do.
Well done PETA, giving the pub more of a promotion than it could ever get...😆👍
Good for you 👍
Hahahaha...this is toooo funny! There's alot of ppl dont like us British Bulldogs huh!
The world has gone stark raving mad!
Ignore the fanatics, Mike.
Absolutely bloody ridiculous,tell peta to naff off
The name is fine.
It’s just a name
I'm a fully paid up memkjber of peta....... People Eating Tasty Animals..... yum! yum!! Hope all the people of Stoke support the Old BullDog pub.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 Best comment was the chap who asked the profound question, 'did the old name encourage people to keep sealions'? Give that man a free pint!!
