Also many people now see it as a cheap way to get a dog...What we humans do to animals and our greed is unbelievable to me....and here we are having to put rules into rescue because it has gotten out of control IMHO. This is sad and dogs will suffer because of this.


I understand all this. the greeders need to be stopped. there are more and more looking for homes every dy because of this.
there are many ads every where with BYB / Mills trying to act like they are rescues. I do see those ads and I do ignore them.
I believe very strongly that if someone is going to post ads then they need to be able to review them for possible red flags...and if not then we should be able to say something...just like we do when greeders come to YT.

This is not about she does this and she does that...it is about trying to help the most needy dogs first. In these tough times it is the dogs in kill shelters not dogs that are already in rescue that have a very short window to be rescued. I was upset because of 14 dogs posted, 2 of the ads were gone (the threads were still open), 1 an owner was selling (says it right in the ad), 3 were in shelters and 8 were in rescue organizations. The 3 that needed help just kept getting pushed to the bottom.

thats why I had started this thread in hopes that there would be a different section so that the most inportant dogs that need help right now is at the top.
I will tell you if we start posting breeders dogs on YT under rescue then I will have to leave this place. As much as I enjoy it I will not and cannot allow even further abuse to these animals by YT helping people that already make $$$ off the backs of these dogs. Let them be turned over to a rescue for no $$$ or even a shelter but do not reward these greeders for what they are doing and help them make $$$. This is morally wrong to me. I view it the same as long time YT members who knowingly go and buy dogs from pet stores or puppymill situations. They really do not care about dogs and the suffering going on but only themselves. No one who has been with YT long enough can say we didn't know it was a puppymill...we have posted what to look for to many times.

who is posting Breeder dogs??? I posted one it was closed. and I understand why it was closed. that it as my fault it should not of been posted in that section. it got mixed up in my other threads in fav and I didnt ready it clearly. it was closed so no sence in keep talking about it.

some of those threads would be at the bottom now but many of you choose to keep posting on them then they return to the top.

When it comes to rehoming I am of the opinion (not as strong as the breeder portion) that people should be members on YT or get permission from mod.

I strongly believe breeders post their dogs ON yt because they are selling them...$$$ will exchange hands along with warranties...this is nothing like rescue and should not be treated like the selling section of YT. I really wish people couldn't sell dogs on YT either as a side note but it has helped uncover some very bad situations...so who knows.

Well thats a different topic for a different thread maybe?
