That's not fair to say people who aren't jumping on your bandwagon hate dogs. I love dogs, but I also love people and care about their well being. If someone is selling puppies on the side of the road, yes it's bad. Instead of buying the puppy and feeding into the person's business, you should have asked the person why he/she is doing it and if that person realizes it's illegal. Offer to point the person in the right direction such as the local humane society. If the person is down on his/her luck, tell them where the local soup kitchen or food pantry is located. It's easier to criticize versus understanding.

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. |
