Although I am excited to see the movie, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, I am not excited for all the stupid people out there who will run out and get a chi just because of a movie. These are the same stupid people who buy dogs from pet stores and the same evil people who breed dogs for profit. The same thing happened after101 Dalmatians. Lindsey over at Sincerely, Fido had a great point - Wouldn't it be great if Disney donated some of the profits to shelters? You just know this movie is going to make a ton of money and you just know the chi population is going to explode.

I couldn't agree more. I do a lot of volunteer work for the shelter here in San Francisco and the same thing happened 8 or 9 years ago with those Taco Bell ads featuring the Chihuauhua. We ended up with a ton of dogs being surrendered a year later (or less) when people realized there was a lot more work involved than picking the dog up at the breeder or, worse yet, pet store.
