Someone else said it's your dog and you can do with it what you want.....I'm not buying that. Once you post something as (IMO) drastic as my 2 1/2 pound girl is pregnant on an open forum and it becomes public........well, you're pretty much asking for a lot of hard comments. I don't know of anyone on this forum that would not be upset by that.
And as you said God has given us dominion over His creatures......but, alot of people just see them as possessions. |
I do agree with that Mary. People can breed their 2 1/2 pounders, and they can post it here, but it is our responsibility to at least try to educate them as to the dangers and why it is not the right thing to do.
As a school teacher, I have been in similar situations often. I've seen and heard parents acting terribly irresponsibly, even abusive, to their children.
Try being tactful about that! In fact, if I didn't report abuse, I could have been fired.
On YT, it's not against the law to not say anything, but it is irresponsible (in my opinion). That mother can die, the puppies can die, they can be born terribly damaged, etc.
On the other hand, 17 people don't have to call the person an idiot. PMing is a wonderful thing also. Then, nobody is embarrassed.
But, if you don't feel that way, or you don't want to say anything or even if you do feel it's not our business - fine. Somebody will surely come along and
say it anyway.
