PETA sends letter to Georgia president demanding university drop Uga mascot, per report
PETA, the controversial animal-rights organization, has called on the University of Georgia to stop using live mascots for sporting events. The university has used live mascots since the 1950s, and the Georgia Bulldog is famous around the world.
The fiery letter was sent to UGA president Jere Morehead after the Bulldogs won their 2nd consecutive National Championship Game, per TMZ. The Bulldogs’current mascot, Uga X, was left at home in Athens due to the difficulties of long travel on the dog.
“As the back-to-back national champion, can’t UGA find it in its heart to honestly examine the impact of its promotion of deformed dogs and call time on its outdated, live-animal mascot program?” asked PETA EVP Tracy Reiman. “PETA is calling on Jere Morehead to be a peach and replace poor Uga with a human mascot who can support the team in a winning way.”
If you watched the College Football Playoff National Championship, you saw the segment featuring a tour of Uga’s living quarters. Needless to say, don’t expect the university to get rid of Uga anytime soon.
By far the dumbest request ever ! UGA X lives better than the students at Georgia .
Thank you for that laugh!
Tracy, why don’t you go after Texas and their wild bull that attacks people and animals. Get them to retire the bull before you even think of UGA!!!!!
Give 30 million of your money you collect by extortion and give it to the Georgia NIL COLLECTIVE and we’ll give your request the time it deserves!!!!! Before throwing it away!!!!
PS. GO AWAY PETA!!!!!! WOKE POKE!!!

You do know that bulldogs are the way they are because of inbreeding. A pure bred dog and just a very inbred dog.
PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals
Now we’ll see the environmental folks getting involved by jumping on Texas for using Bevo at games because cow farts are polluting our atmosphere!
Maybe PETA needs to spend their resources on helping the millions of dogs that are released by their owners to a life of being strays.
THE STUPIDITY OF IT ALL… If he wasn’t the Georgia mascot. He wouldn’t have all the benefits he has now. Including a better medical plan than me!!!!
The dog was absolutely missing being with the team. He was sitting in front of a television watching Georgia play vs TCU!!!! He wasn’t being forced at all!!!!
PS. He was sitting up watching the game from home. That dog knew that he was missing the game and he didn’t like it at all!!!!!

Negan they need to ban that dog simply because he is too dang ugly!
The biggest game of the season and they leave his ugly ass at home, hilarious!
GTFO PETA. Ain’t nobody gonna have a care in the world. Let them be and you worry about what hypocrite statement to make next.
L I B E R A L S and N U T S. They will always try but never win.
The poor pup has his own SUV, lawyer, publicist, a suite for every pre-game trip at an Athens hotel, every Nike jersey created for the team, and gets to lead a double life as a family pet and occasional figurehead in the off-season. And when it’s all said and done he gets to be buried in his own familial burial plot inside Sanford. He’s better treated than just about any animal in America save maybe dogs in the White House. Wtf are they on about?
I guess we’re next
We would have to win the Natty to land on PETA’s PR chopping block. For now MSU, Yale, and Fresno State are safe.
We will ALL be next.
Evil flourishes when good men do nothing
They’re just drumming up publicity so they can get more donations to pay their CEO and other clowns their ridiculous overpaid salaries.
The elected Dems in GA are not that stupid.
You don’t mess with the CFP champions in football country.
Sadly most organizations like PETA are cash cows with the top execs riding around in limos/dining at Five Star restaurants and flying in private jets while drinking champagne.
I really honestly believe UGa and the State of GA will take this seriously, especially considering the politics have turned blue in GA.
Uhh, the Gov is red and a proud alum. Ain’t happening
Sad. WOKE ATL runs the state like WOKE Portland runs Oregon.
It is known to the State of California that if you live here and pay all of the exorbitant taxes you are an idiot.
They won’t bother with that mangy mutt that the Vols call a mascot.
Smokey would win any beauty contest over that ugly, slobbering dog.
Are you kidding, take this serious? It’s PETA….. All do to UGA winning back to back, notice they not coming after that hound Smokey UT sports! All about who is relevant at the time, Smokey safe for a long time.
UGA is treated like a king. The People For The “Ethical Treatment” of Animals apparently think he’s not treated properly. F them.
Ask any UGA coed at random on campus today who they would rather have their picture taken with, UGA, or Stetson Bennett. UGA wins in a landslide.
If PETA wants a human replacement for Uga, let me be first in line to get the Uga treatment. Good golly,
Let’s see PETA travel down to Athens and try to make Georgia stop using UGA as their mascot.
What’s wrong with PETA?
I wholly support People Eating Tasty Animals!
I mean, I just had some delicious smoked pork and brisket today!
Georgias “promotion of deformed animals”
Bwahhhaahaha! They should change the name too. The georgia freak dogs! Maybe uga should join the circus! Lolololol!
Oh wait where is TDOW
He has to change his name to TDDOW, The Deformed Dogs of War! Hahahaha!!! Tgats too funny.I hope that catches on LOL! Again, too funny
What is it with TN fans and “lol”? People laugh at their jokes for one reason.
their own jokes*
Why do you care jtf? Lololololololololololol
The real question is this : What is it with all Vol fans ? They’ve turned into the worst college football fans in the country. They cannot even enjoy the fact that the Dawgs won the Natty. A truly sad fan base now.
Rent free in your head. Maybe to YOU alabama fans they are since the win, but ain’t what that y’all been doing to us for 15 years now?
Don’t get mad because karma’s a B**ch. Y’all deserve it.
Karma is what happened to your baseball team last season. And of course finally beating Bama and needing only to beat SC to get that playoff mulligan only to…well not lol
I bet UGAs’ lives are just peachy.
I confess I don’t know much about bulldogs, but what’s with the “deformed” claim?
I always thought UGA bulldogs were well-formed,
It’s cause they have flattened noses, it can cause breathing problems.
Thanks for your response. I really didn’t know.
Is Uga deformed?
UGA lives a life better than most humans. Seriously, there’s a whole youtube video on how UGA is treated like royalty. Saying UGA is “deformed” is discriminating against other English bulldogs and will get them sued by UGA’s literal own lawyer.
PETA = WOKE PUKE!!!!!!
When PETA stops luring pets out of yards and killing them within hours, maybe then they’ll have a modicum of a leg to stand on.
But that dog lives better than I do. So…shut the eff up
Hey PETA,
Kindly STFU…
Thank you,
The Entire Country
“Deformed dogs?” UGA’s lawyer should sue them for slander. Make them argue in court that dogs aren’t people and have no right to sue.
Bet Tracy Reiman also hates Dave Chappelle and fireworks on the 4th of July. Bet she finds statues of George Washington offensive. Probably hates borders and police. Bet she thinks people that eat hamburgers should be arrested. What a miserable creature she must be.
I’m a huge PETA supporter
P eople
E njoying
T asty
A nimals
You beat me by less than a minute dammit!
TDOW…Agreed !
People Eating Tasty Animals.
Let me be succinct here…
Screw P.E.T.A.
I’m game for screwing some of those naked PETA chicks. They might be dumb as a box of rocks but stuff a sock in their pie holes and ride um like you stole um
PETA needs to mind their business
Just they wait until they hear what the football is made out of . . . .
PETA is the number one killer of dogs and cats in the U.S. Their practices are hardly ethical and based on old-school attitudes. I’m not a tree-hugging animal rights person, but I call a spade a spade.
Ummmmm…..yea. Good luck with that PETA. Give me a break.
Buzz off PETA.
Shouldn’t they be more concerned with WHERE Joe biden is stashing his dog? People nearly worship those UGAlys so leave them alone and go hug a grizzly or something!
“Promotion of deformed dogs”
That’s funny right there.
I move that right after the feds finish confiscating all the gas stoves in the country they go after french bulldogs
Go crawl under a rock peta what the f ever you are , UGA X stands as our live mascot. Sore loser . Your just made we whiped a@# and took names against TCU .
This is ridiculous. UGA is cared for better than most peoples pets. They might have a point with say Mike the Tiger or Ralphie the Buffalo as those are very large animals that can be dangerous if something goes wrong, but a dog? Come on!
I predict Georgia caves …
Historically, calling someone a “blue blood” was an insult of a kind.
It implied the weakening of genetics as monarchal families inter-bred.
The problem with UGA X or future UGA’s is why we have laws against incest.
Over-breeding often amplifies weaknesses as much as desired traits.
The UGA breeder family has been irresponsible as evidenced by the short life-spans of their product.
Over-breeding qualifies as animal cruelty.
Don’t we have enough sh it going on now to not spend 1 second worrying about PETA and their ridiculous opinions?
The President of Peta will eat a rare steak with veal on the side before UGA goes anywhere
That dawg lives a better life than a lot of people. Aren’t there some starving kids in Africa these folks can worry about? Or maybe some homeless folks right here in the US? UGA is just fine.
PETA needs to go bark elsewhere!
Hey PETA, Shut the F up and order me a steak
Hang tight Georgia administrators! PETA will try turning this into a news worthy issue in attempts to shame you into doing what they want. But just be aware that the far left libs who support PETA account for only 25% of the US population. The other 75% of the population are on your side. Don’t give in to PETA!
PETA has 9 million members. That’s about 2.7% of the U.S. population.
Go away PETA….literally go away….
Dogs everywhere could only wish to live the life that Uga enjoys at Georgia. Are we getting tired of this woke garbage yet?
Well, that was a waste of paper.
PETA professes to protect animals, but is the #1 euthanizer of dogs and cats in the US…
