We also require that if for any reason someone has to give up their yorkie we will always take it back, thereby preventing it from going to a shelter. These are rules and standards YTCA has set for ourselves. I think what PETA and other like minded people may not understand is that....the 2 women who jumped up with the sign at the show did not further their cause. Do you honestly think they won anyone over at the show. Most people turn away from extreme organizations like that for that very reason. They were booed.........Everyone I talked to today felt the same...booooo. If Peta was protesting at a puppy mill or fighting in congress for better treatment of animals enter the food industry thats great. But don't tell me I can't eat meat. If they were setting up shelters and going to remote area to feed wild dog set lose by irresponsible owners....wooohoo! They lose credibility by acting like fools. No-one I know has respect for radicals.....not the mainstream of America.
Maybe they feel the publicity helps their cause but personally I thinks it hurts them.
I can't hunt but I don't fault my father for being a hunter. I choose not to wear fur but I don't expect everyone to abide by my belief. I would rather see wild animals in their natural habitats than in a zoo but I know situations where releasing animals back in the wild would not be realistic. I choose to breed and show Yorkies and I don't want to be judged by those who don't. These are my beliefs, these are my rights. I have but one judge and it is not you nor PETA. |
Wow, where have I ever said I am judging you...in fact I enjoy going to dog shows and I fully support
ethical breeders. I had a father that was into big game hunting and our house was full of stuffed animals...something I could not do but understand that many of these animals would have starved to death...I agree 100% some animals can't go back into the wild.
I just feel that ethical breeders need to lead the charge on helping the mess we are in with pet overpopulation..I see it right here on YT...people just breeding to make $$$...
I just feel the % of ethical breeders in this country is very small...
