yes i have seen all the stuff on puppy mills and im not fore them. but its best to go against it from the ground up. start at the puppy mills find all of them and attack them.
YES I THINK ITS LOW TO BOTHER ST JUDE ABOUT IT
yes i know there are alot of people who will fight to their dying breath to stop puppy mills and preventing people from buying from them and i respect those peoples ambitions. But i dont respect nor agree with this topic. if you dont like it, deal with petland or the people they get the puppies from but leave st jude alone. i understand you want to educate them but they are extremely smart people they save lives every day and research to save lives every day. this is not on their agenda. and its shouldnt be.
you fight and save the world of puppy mills but dont expect them to stop want they are doing to help you, they have enough on their plates.
and i dont mean that to be mean or rude at all. if people want to stop the puppy mills please do, like i said before i encourage it and respect that. i just think bothering st jude with this is disrespectful.
i love my dogs to pieces but my children come first and its it between saving my child and stopping puppy mills, its my children first and foremost all the way. |
I never said ANYTHING about attacking them. I said they needed to be educated, they actually have specific people who work for them to answer things like these concerns (as seen in the OP's e-mail response from them.)
I don't see how it has anything to do with "saving a child", it's more in the aspect of "saving the pups". Why would it be so bad for the Make A Wish people to take a child to a reputable breeder or rescue instead of Petland? It really isn't that hard. Also, you don't think a reputable breeder would give a dog away to a sick child? HA! You'd be surprised, they obviously have even bigger hearts than some idiot organization like Petland or they wouldn't care so much about what they're doing (IE... BREEDING THE RIGHT WAY.) It would also be a chance for them to get their name out there, right? So, what makes you think they wouldn't do it?
I appreciate your opinion too, don't think I'm coming off rude, I'm just trying to figure out where you're coming from as I'm confused.
