In June this year, Jemima Harrison informed the Kennel Club and others know that the BBC has commissioned her to make a follow-up film to Pedigree Dogs Exposed, to explore what impact the film had and to assess what progress has been made in addressing conformation and genetic issues in purebred dogs since 2008.
PDE 2 will be what the BBC call a "personal view" film - acknowledging, as of course I have to, how involved I have become in this issue since making Pedigree Dogs Exposed.
There has been no response from the Kennel Club yet. Jennifer is keen for the KC to have a voice in the film so hope they will decide to take part and to let me film at one or two dog shows between now and the end of the year so we can see what progress has been made since PDE, particularly as regards the "high-profile" breeds.
Read her blog
It was also interesting to read that a group called "STOP THE BBC PRODUCING ANOTHER PDE" had been formed attracting some 2500 members on facebook, which has since been removed by facebook.
Details of its creation can be found here
FACE BOOK has since removed this group, which I have some sympathy with , if we continue prevent people or journalists from speaking out, large insitutions, such as the kennel club will never be held to account for their actions. The Kennel Club is self regulated, unlike the our press and banks, which have proven even when regulated to use their power for there own interest!
I want to see an investigation expose the reality and give an opportunity of supporters and complainants to voice their opinons and evidence such that a balance view is obtained.
