Game thrones actor warns husky craze
You're referring to the recent warning issued by actor Kristofer Hivju, who played Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones, about the potential dangers of the husky craze.
In an interview with The Guardian, Hivju expressed his concerns about the popularity of Siberian Huskies as pets, citing the breed's high energy levels, strong prey drive, and need for regular exercise and mental stimulation. He warned that many people may not be prepared to provide the necessary care and attention to these dogs, which can lead to behavioral problems and even abandonment.
Hivju, who is a dog owner himself, emphasized that he loves Huskies and thinks they're "amazing" dogs, but he believes that people should be aware of the potential challenges and responsibilities involved in owning one. He encouraged potential owners to do their research and consider whether they have the time, resources, and expertise to provide the best possible life for a Husky.
It's worth noting that Hivju's warning is not unique to Huskies, as many experts and animal welfare organizations have been cautioning against the popularity of certain breeds, including Huskies, due to their high energy levels and specific needs.
