You bought Sadie from that man even though you knew you shouldn't. You took her home way to early even though you knew you shouldn't. Now that "breeder" has replaced Sadie with not just one other puppy, but litters of puppies because people like you continue to buy from him because he's a "sweet old man".
That old man knows exactly what he is doing and he reeled you in, hook, line, and sinker. People who breed dogs for "fun" are BYB and mills. Sure its fun to breed puppies and its even more fun to make money off of them. what you did was the same exact thing that mom2kobe did no matter how you slice it.
To the OP - i am not going to say anything pertaining to what you did because you already know what you did was wrong. congrats on your "clearance puppy" and i hope you don't even up spending 20x the price of him on medical bills. |
Brit and kalina, i'm not going to get upset with either of you about calling me a hypocrite, you are both 100% correct that i did the wrong thing when i bought Sadie. but you have to realize that even though i had a ton of people telling me not to and trying to teach me what i was doing and they were extremely HARSH, i didn't listen because at that time i didn't have my ears opened. i didn't want to hear it, i didn't want to learn it, and i didn't care what you had to say....after all the smoke cleared somehow and at some point it all set in and i finally got it. i think it took loving Sadie so much to make me understand how much i'd never want her to be that breeding bitch in those mills. i grew up in Missouri remember. it's so common here for BYB they are literally EVERYWHERE. i'd say about 1 in 10 people in my area have some breed of dogs that they sell and have pups from...there are dogs everyday being sold or given away due to a couple of farm dogs tying. it's almost like it's nothing to see puppies on the side of the road or at walmart for sale. thats every day life so NO i didn't get it no matter how harsh people were to me, it never sunk in because i had never in my life fallen in love with a dog on this level. now i get it, it makes sense, and i hate the type of people back home that breed dogs like that. people i saw all the time, people i grew up with and knew so well are back yard breeders and full fleged puppy mills...it's like the smoker who didn't realize how nasty their house smells inside...they live in it so they don't notice it...that's how blind i was.
so i'm sorry if my "newfound opinons" make me sound like a total hypocrite, but no i didn't get it back then, now that i do i promise that i will no stop trying to put a stop to these mills and petstores. i hate them with a passion, they make me sick to my stomach. the thought of Sadie being bred to death hurts SO BAD it literally makes me want to throw up. i cannot walk into pet land anymore like i used to before Sadie. i can't stand the little window cages. and how anyone can go in their and even LOOK at those awful conditions and those poor babies is beyond me, let alone walk in and BUY one supporting and giving money to that awful place.
they all need saved, everyone wants puppies in mills to have a home, but that's not the way it gets stopped. stopping them takes cutting them off financially so they cannot produce more dogs.
so that's my defense take it for what it's worth. i know i did wrong when i got Sadie and i regret supporting that old geezer all the time. do i think he's a horrible person, not really, do i think he should be breeding dogs NO WAY JOSE. but again, that old man is no different than my cousin back home breeding bird dogs in kennels...i grew up with it, didn't know it was wrong and most of my family and friends are of the mindset that dogs are just dogs and who cares. how hard do you think it is to change their minds? way worse than any amount of harsh posting on here.
