Thank you for the honest responses. I appreciate the civility as well. I am understanding that a broker sells without regard if the animal is altered or not and that it is just for profit.
I do understand that not all can be saved. But it is a very harsh reality. Sometimes it comes across my mind that who are we to choose this one but not that one base just on breed alone. I can see the perimeters being set for the breed that the rescue is most knowledgable about. That does make sense.
But don't most rescues get their spay/neuters done at a cheaper cost?
I am not saying that just anyone should be blessed with these animals, but should it not simply be made where they can find homes a little easier. As long as the family can show they can support a dog/cat and have a vet that will always work with them.
When I say perpetuate the breeding cycle-the breeders dump off their used up older animals and that leaves room for more to come. There is no punishment or anything. It is certainly not the rescues fault, but what is it doing to the population of animals?
They will continue to breed (and yes more than likely they would kill the older unusable animals, but also this would run them the chance of getting caught and in trouble of some sort.)
Just some thoughts as I continue to work through this. I do appreciate the insight immensely. |
