The animal overpopulation didn’t happen overnight...it’s the product of centuries of breeding, fashion, and fascination. In this episode, we talk about how “designer” dogs became status symbols, how pop culture fueled demand for specific breeds, and just how many decades this has been going on for. From Victorian breeders to viral TikToks, we dive into human trends that play a direct factor on the overpopulation in animals specifically in the US.
