I don't know ANY rescue that has done that and I do know a lot.
I think before you make such claims, you need to get a list of rescue groups and then go to www.guidestar.org and take a look at their 990s to see how much they use to "feed the machine that's pumping out rescue dogs".
Not thinking you are very well informed about what rescues *really* do. We never have a profit...EVER...we bust our backsides to get the veterinary bills paid for the pups that have been abandoned and/or neglected and/or abused. I can tell you that our members often lay out thousands of dollars and then hope to recoup it. We have a very dedicated group that does everything we can to help as many pups as we can.
You are right about reputable breeders not being the problem, but don't blame rescues for what the disreputable breeders are doing. |
Commercial breeders HATE rescues, and send out lots of propaganda involving them. They would rather see dogs PTS, and have less dogs available for adoption. Unfortunately, lots of the propaganda put out by commercial breeders, is unknowingly accepted by small breeders and others, as fact.
