I am not at all upset except for the fact that I feel that the value of rescue pups is being minimized here.
I am getting off of here now because I have a little yorkie with a messed up leg who has an appt with a specialist. He was hit by a car in April, had a pin put in his leg...pin was removed and he was jumping off of furniture right after that and refractured it. His owner said she could not afford to fix it. So...after all of this time, they surrendered him to us....in pain with a leg that is dangling...his femur is broken in half and the bone ends are rubbing together.  HE and others like him are the reason I am so passionate. They do not have voices.
I am disturbed by some peoples' remarks that insinuate that rescued yorkies are substandard. It is not said in so many words, but certainly rings through in words. |
I understand your frustration. I and I doubt that anyone on YT feels that rescued pups are substandard. I just feel at this point people's feelings are hurt and some backs are up. So by continuing the conversation the information is falling upon deaf ears because someone might be feeling defensive or misunderstood. I think some misconceptions came to light and people in the know were able to clarify it and eventually when people calm down the information will be processed. Right now this conversation is circling because people are feeling defensive. So the truth/information is falling by the wayside because people are more interested in defending themselves or the information they shared.
