Like I said in my earlier post, and I just feel so strongly about preserving animal life, but I would rather pups get to there forever homes early and get medical care. This is definatley a much more out of control situation in the US than in Canada. Maybe expecting better government control there is a dream? I only understand your system from what i see on TV. |
you nailed it. That's why so many people do buy and it's totally understandable. You see an animal in need and you want to help - but there's a bigger picture.
The big picture is the hard one. Do you walk away and NOT put money in their pockets... or do you contribute even with good intentions ? Me personally - I choose not to contribute and never go in a store that sells dogs. Pet Land is my biggest boycott. (I got asked to leave the only one I ever stepped foot in) and am proud of it !
and what you said about our 'system' is right on. We don't have one that serves the need of the dogs. Too many people are making money and of course the government gets their cut. Things are getting better but have a long LONG way to to.
I'm from Canada but don't know the laws....sounds like the U.S. could learn a few things from the north.
