Brazil enters morally murky waters by hosting animal abuse-adjacent world of dog surfing contests!

Would dogs, man’s theoretical best friend, chose to SUP?

There was a time, almost forgotten, when then the surfing powers resided solely in the nasty hegemony of Southern California with its “surf industry” and its “ Dino Andino” and its “Association of Professional Surfers” except that association actually resided on the even nastier Australian Gold Coast.

Dog surfing contests.

A fundamental destruction of animal rights?

Probably.

Those selfsame animal rights posit, “Sentient animals are entitled to the possession of their own existence and that their most basic interests—such as the need to avoid suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings.”

Would dogs, man’s theoretical best friend, chose to SUP?

Choose to become scored on closeout beach break?

Full rotation airs on the horizon?

Brazil, in any case, has entered the chat.
