Yes, it does seem like he was in the fur business but, as he stated, it was some time ago. I don't have any use for raising animals just for fur but wouldn't condemn someone that USED to do it. Not everyone shares the same mindset when it comes to animals and it is not my place to shove my beliefs on someone else. And, it was years ago, before animal rights, PETA and the like. People DO change, ya know? As for breeding rabbits for meat, I'm feeding my cat a rabbit formula food. That meat has to come from somewhere. How many people here feed their Yorkies some of the more exotic meats? Quite a few. Many brands now offer venison, buffalo, lamb, pheasant, etc. In fairness to Wayne, he raised the fox and rabbit in the past and now has Yorkies. I can't help but imagine his perspective has changed by having these little angels in his home. He came on here offering his experience (which is substantial) and got royally slammed. His threads had the potential of some very good info coming out in them. Up til now, some of the more interesting threads on genetics that I've seen here have been those that involved folks that had raised horses also and I had hoped these threads would have been just as informative. I guess we can forget about that now. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. |
