Everyone on here is so interested in bashing us and not worried about any of these dogs!To me, this is even worse! By you going to this auction and buying a biewer for yourself you are TOTALLY supporting the mills! Hello? Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this going against the grain here?
you all are telling me that you would rather these dogs live a life of hell being bred until they die instead of me paying $1-$50 for them?? no.. that is inhumane.. this is a lose/lose situation no matter how you look at..
and this is my only response to Jencar98's 500 posts of bashing my organization. She was the one that introduced me to the world of auction.. she has single handled brought at LEAST 30 dogs into our rescue from auction. i tell that we have room for a few.. she buys 18 hands them over to me and then sends me a bill. so she should know exactly how much we spent because she is the one that paid for them!!!! and the last auction i was at, she was there.. she has gotten several breed rescues involved in auctions here in oklahoma as well.
and my last note... there is NEVER a single dollar made off ANY auction dog.. we probably put $200-$300 into an auction dog and adopt them out for $150.. this rescue does nothing but lose money but i would much rather see a dog know what it's like to have a real life than make a dollar..
If anyone feels the need to call and bash me personally my personal phone number is listed on our website.. feel free to call me if you want to talk but do NOT bash all of our wonderful volunteers that pour their heart and souls into helping these dogs. |
Firstly, no one has bashed any of the volunteers or fosters. Nor is anyone bashing the actual rescue itself. No one is doubting that there haven't been legitimate rescues made. We are questioning the practice of buying dogs at an auction while supposedly refusing other dogs at the same time.
I am personally happy to see someone coming on here from the rescue. However, it has remained at a calm discussion thus far. I would hope that it will remain that way.
You have an obligation to those who support you to answer these types of questions. If you feel that going to auctions isn't wrong then so be it. It is the choice of the donor/foster as to whether or not they continue to support such practices.
