That would be like condeming breeders who participate in AKC/Eukanuba sponsored events because of the allegations made against Eukanuba regarding animal testing. Just because you are still involved with a flawed company does not automatically "speak volumes" about you.
It's one thing to state your displeasure w/ a company but to insult those who don't share that opinion and unfairly assume they are all the same is just wrong, IMO. If you don't agree with alternative registries, sobeit, don't use them, respectfully state your reasons, but don't continue to insult those who do all because you judged the company for face value and assumed the worst about those who feel differently. |
I am entitled to my opinion and I'm entitled to share it, in a respectful way. I think I did that. To me, registering a dog that never was purchased with breeding rights is the same as stealing and that is one huge "flaw". Obviously those breeders doing business with these other registries are going to think that's unfair of me. If you sold an AKC dog with no breeding rights and someone bred them anyway, and registered them with another registry would you think they were being "unfair"? I'm going one step further and saying that's unethical, and I would not do business with a company that I believed to be unethical, unfair is a different matter, and it difficult to appear fair to all those concerned.
