I cut hair when I could, did some freelance stuff when he could be home with the kids.
I didn't resort to anything unethical. I went to the bread store...found a mission that had "day old" foods donated, was it embarrasing? Sure, but I did not let my circumstances undermine my ethics.
wrong, is wrong. and if we were on any other thread and someone said "I am about to go pick up my 6 week old designer puppy" no one would be saying "well, its ok, cause they are broke, go ahead and risk it". We would be outraged.
life is shades of gray. believe me, I have lived in most of them, but if you give up your principles every time it gets tough? you didn't have many to begin with. |
I am well aware that times are tough, but cutting hair and doing freelance work is not breeding a dog to sell her puppies to the first person who walks by with some cash.
I have a 5 week old puppy living with me right now that I bought from one of these people selling roadside puppies. It made me so sick and so upset that I bought her last puppy and brought it home to find it a real home.... not someone who is going to put a bow on it and put it under the xmas tree for their kids until they get bored of it and the poor thing ends up in a shelter. WRONG IS WRONG. PERIOD.
