And, trust me, I have stopped my car many times to try to "educate" people such at that woman only to be met with rude remarks. NOW, I simply call the police...case closed. I spend my LIFE educating people about animal abuse. Most of my waking day is doing such...and taking are of animals many of which tarted their lives out poorly because someone was too lazy to make an honest living and did not care where they ended up. My grandmother lost her husband and she raised five children during the Great Depression, holding on to her beloved 65 acre farm that is still in the family. She did what it took...laundry, ironing, alterations, bakiing, whatever she could to to raise money. She did not sell animals on the side of the road .. and she taught her children to love and respect animals as God's creations and their children taught theirs...and it has continued on to another generation since. People DO know there are options....they choose not to take them.

People have been trying to educate the uneducable for years to no avail. It is illegal in most places to sell puppies. You think people don't know that? I think you are naive. Nothing wrong with wanting to see the good in people, but I don't know how much good you will find in a person who is selling dogs on the roadside.

Excellent!!
