Thanks for the link. How horrible.
Is it always wrong, however, to make a profit if you breed dogs?
The pictures in the link remind me of a home not too far from us. The owners have a huge pen in their front yard with several dogs in it. In the backyard are several of those dome-shaped dog houses inside another huge pen. Again, there are lots of dogs. It's appauling. To me, a breeder needs to allow their dogs access to their home. If they live in cages outside like horses and cows, that is cruel.
The place I went to yesterday did have a lot of dogs outside in cages. But it looked like the Yorkies had more freedom to roam. They were contained in the backyard, but I couldn't quite see everything. It did not appear that they were in cages. These were the dogs used for breeding. |
