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 know this might be a controversial topic...and perhaps I should refrain from saying too much bc I'm a mod...but I gotta say...from a non-mod perspective...
I LOVE this post.
It is along the lines of a quote I also love, which has to do w/ personal ethics: "Character is who you are when no one is looking."
