It's unreasonable for them to expect the pubic to believe that the comments of Kennel Club reps and some others in the show were edited to make them look bad -- the reps interviewed made themselves look cruel and irrational.
i was enraged by the one KC official's saying that he did not know that the Kennel Club's guide standard for Ridgebacks said that the ones without the "ridge" should be euthanized ("culled"). How could they not know? The response that "it's always been there" isn't good enough when the standard for Ridgebacks was reviewed in 2007(?). Further confirmation is that some breeders interviewed still held to the practice and one horrible women said that they have to seek out older vets to kill those heathly ridge-less ridgebacks because the younger vets just won't do it and don't understand traditions. it was encouraging to see that euthanasia part striked out from the book later in the documentary. And on and on... (apologize for the grammar/spelling -- enraged about this and writing this on my phone)
