This is insane, the whole "animal auction" - I can't understand how all of this goes on here in the USA
I wish Oprah would do her next puppymill segment on the Dog Auctions.... |
Believe me there are not enough vile words to describe what goes on at these auctions. I wish Oprah, CNN, FOX News, Nightline, Ellen - all of them would do stories on the dog auction business.
The pathetic manner in which these dogs are kept would BREAK your heart The noise and the stench are something you can't describe. The sadness and fright in each dogs eyes still haunts me. I can see why people think it's a good thing to buy them up - get them out of there.
BUT that is where the problem lies - the more that show up and buy, the more the breeders will produce - it's what I keep trying to get across - and with OKYR it keeps falling on deaf ears!
As much as it pains me to leave these dogs, I've come to realize rescues have to quit buying these auction dogs. For every dog a rescue thinks they are saving, they are condemning many more to a life of hell.
I hope rescues that buy auction dogs are satisfied with themselves knowing they are part of the problem and not the solution.
