They don't have anything to say about mixed breeds and those are the most often surrendered. The most difficult to find homes for. The unwanted.
PETA is a political organization. They use the suffering of animals to solicit donations from good people and they use that money to further their political agenda. They don't want us to own dogs.
And they don't own the label of people who want animals treated ethically. Just because you don't support PETA doesn't mean you don't care about the ethical treatment of animals. |
I posted the information on AKC to show why people would demonstrate at one of their dog shows. I also know that AKC has their own agenda going on. I just believe people should see both sides..I was very ignorant about AKC and I truly believed they would help protect dogs but then I found out about their agenda...Look I don't believe anyone is clean here...I believe AKC should go back to their roots and stop supporting puppymills. I believe AKC breeders should help with legislation to stop what is going on in this country.
I say this even though many AKC breeders are puppymills or BYB's.
I never said everyone has to support PETA but I find most people have never really studied them and what their mission statement is. I also find many people do not have a clue about AKC and don't read what is posted on their website. They really don't hide anything. You can look at their budgets, you can figure out how many kennel inspections they do you can see the lobbyists going to work on breeders rights.
I just would like everyone to do their own research and understand both side of the issues.
