THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A top official in the Netherlands said on Friday that he was weighing a ban on so-called puppy yoga, in which participants use infant dogs during practice sessions, saying the animals were suffering.

Puppy yoga, which combines traditional yoga with fluffy puppies, has become hugely popular since it was introduced in the northwestern European nation a few months ago, especially in the capital Amsterdam.But Agriculture Minister Piet Adema opposes the practice, saying the animals are often woken up while sleeping before being used in sessions, in which many dogs showed stressed behavior.

This picture published online on Aug. 16, 2018, shows three puppies sleeping in an apparent basket at an unidentified location. don't think this is appropriate. Puppies need to sleep. They are in a very early stage of their development,' Adema told the ANP national news agency after a Cabinet meeting.'You have to compare it with babies. You can't carry a baby around all day and make it do all sorts of things. Babies need sleep. That's how they develop,' he said.Puppy yoga 'serves no purpose and makes no sense at all. It needs to stop,' he added.
