It seems to me that ad was singled out.
I don't condone selling puppies 5 or 6 weeks old, but taking a deposit does not mean you are selling it at that given moment. |
Should ALL ads be off limits here at YT? The original ad she was sent had a lot of the red flags that we REPEATEDLY tell buyers to be on the look out for:
Puppy Find
Sick breeder
Under aged pup up for sale (yes, she said Deposit for Hold, but we have all seen that this time of year means "I'll hold till Christmas"
Limited registration unless she's "comfortable with other arrangements"
Sorry, but I stand behind my belief that you wouldn't all be getting up in arms if it were someone other than a YT member. A double standard exists here. It's fine to call out questionable practices on someone, unless they are a member. Than we are all supposed to stand by and say "Oh, it's OK..."
Since the ad didn't give a name, much less a YT screen name, there was no way she could have knowingly "singled out" a particular poster. And if you truly believe that YT members should be exempt from having a questionable practice pointed out, then you haven't read very many of the "for sale" ads here lately.
