selling 6 week old "designer dogs" who have likely had little or no vet care, certainly no medical testing, and should in no way be leaving their mother is just irresponsible....and, while we are at it: how about the poor unsuspecting person who doens't know how bad it is, who buys one of these puppies and ends up with thousands of dollars in vet care? Can they afford it?
Nope, situational ethics don't work for me...if its wrong. IT'S WRONG. and just because times are tough, the morality of it doesn't change.
You want something for the grandbabies? Craigslist is full of pt/temp jobs or odd jobs people want done. Or maybe you could MAKE something for them, really show them the meaning of christmas is not an XBOX. |
I don't think anyone here thinks its 'right' or 'ethical' but then again I'm not living on peanut butter or oatmeal like I did for that one year times were bad for me. i can't judge them for trying to keep the lights on or the heat.
There's a whole lot of wrong going on these days. Bad decisions are made. Life gets less black and white and more shades of gray. If your life is black and white you really can't realistically judge those living in the gray........
