As of late I am finding a lot of crap coming on YT. I think some safe guards can be improved to make this the place it was intended to be. For one I feel that anyone wanting to post a dog or pup for sale should have to be an active member for a minimum of three months AND they should have to also be a donating member. Furthermore they should have to provide references of past buyers and USDA Licensed Kennel Owners should not be allowed to solicit their pups here. These are puppy mills that sell to petstores and that should not be allowed her.

Another safe guard should be that members when registering should have to provided a verifiable email address, telephone number as well as home address. I think for one this will prevent the fishing that seems to be ongoing as of late AND more importantly it will HELP dogs that are clearly being neglected. If a poster comes on here that openly admits his dog may be dying, peeing blood, and living outside THAT IS NEGLECT and it is OUR JOB EVERYONE'S JOB to help that dog.

If the poster refuses help then the proper authorities should be contacted. If Yorkie Talk has this personal information in their files THEN THEY can and SHOULD CONTACT the proper authorities by forwarding them the thread as well as the OP's name and address. If this were a child involved it would be called child abuse. Since animals do not have the same rights it's OUR JOB to step up and fight for that dog. If we choose not to do this then then all we are are hypocrites.

This is a couple of suggestions that I feel will make a big difference and if members knew these were in check it would prevent members from getting aggrevated when idiots post about situations as described above. Moderators are quick to delete posts when someone says something less then nice to these idiots doing the neglecting yet there is no consequence for the poster clearly abusing their dog/s.
