and to whoever said a small group will never make a difference - small groups grow into LARGE groups and yes they can - look at PETA - they started small. Look at all the companies stepping away from Animal Testing...
it you believe in something - follow your heart.
sorry - I just had to say that 
Do us a favor - since you're getting this puppy regardless - please tell your friends about Puppy mills and where the dogs sold came from and good luck with your puppy |
you and i need to spend some time together..i need to be more like you
hehe..you always say the right things...the right way. I agree 100% with you....everyone makes a difference. period.
and to the one who said that you can't see knowingly buying from a puppy mill after saying you hate puppy mills...i agree also.
i don't understand supporting them. like i said previously, why not just go up to your nearest puppy mill and hand them a few hundred bucks and say "I love what you're doing here...keep it up". to me, this is no different.
i hate that the puppies have to live the lives they are damned to. it sucks big time. i wish it were illegal in every way shape and form. i have spent countless hours, countless sleepless nights trying to find a way that I can make a difference and make people more aware of this stuff...and help to pass laws to make this stuff STOP. I would love nothing more than to do this. but i have to make sure that my ducks are 100% in a row before exposing my entire family to scrutiny from those against what i am trying to do before going with it. but one day...I will. I have such a passion for how these animals are treated. and to me, paying them to keep it up...I just don't see how anyone can do it.
but, she is obviously getting this pup...and we all want this pup to be a part of the YT family, right?? I know I do. so let's try and love her through this and help her in any way we can. and let's all pray for Oliver and his new mommy. I do hope he prospers in life and can be a very happy and healthy puppy.
