just letting you guys know that from the information I had to work with it did not sound like an experienced or responsible breeding and did sound like an accident to me. i am not some kind of crazy abortion freak, in fact I am quite against it. what I failed to mention was that it would depend fully on how far along the pregnancy really was whether to spay or not. if she's not very far at all that's very different than if she's extrememly far and the pups are already forming little bodies. i wouldn't dream of someone wanting to abort even partly developed puppies and what i was talking about was defin. in the very, very beginning stages of conception. i am sorry that you would think i am into late term doggie abortion. and i'm 100% against human abortion, which makes me slightly question why I agree with ANY dog abortion at all, but there lies the part of me that grew up on a farm and still somewhat sees an animal a bit differently than a human. and the other half of me says killing any animal on purpose is WRONG, but if you go by just that then euthanasias are wrong and i'm totally all for a well thought out euthanasia when a dog is in pain and suffering...
you are sparked a great deal of debate in my heart. and i do want to appologize for seeming like I was saying to spay/abort a late term dog's pregnancy for that was not what I intended at all.
I am not cruel as i know that post must have made me sound, i was posting in the heat of the moment where I had just been reading soooo many unplanned and planned yorkie pregnancies that were at the hands of people who knew nothing about whelping and i was posting in the frustrations I was still having from how many pregnant yorkies we have on YT. it breaks my heart to know that these could have been prevented. It's hard when you switch to the rescue and rehab side of things, you see dogs PTS all the time that you can' save or get adopted, and you see starving, sick, dying dogs that no one wants and no one loves. it's painful to experience and makes me really really frustrated with people who are breeding on a whim.
again please accept my apologies for my brash behavior. i'm dealing with a lot of emotions right now and trying to sort them all out into more educational but kindly put posts. |
