That is why I am always curious to know the motivation because I know how hard it is, how expensive it is and what the risks are.
As for the posts claiming this thread to be rude and overreaching, I just find it curious that it did not get this reaction when it was first posted months ago. It wasn't until I bumped it up now that anyone said anything negative. In fact the responses the first time were from well respected and wonderful breeder members who had no probelm with sharing what they could. |
Yes Kim, we are all aware that this is an aspect of breeding that you just don't get. Furthermore,
not that you are implying it--I don't think you are, but just to point out, because you feel this way and because breeders do make their decision, it doesn't mean they care about their females any less than you care about your little ones. Many breeders here, including myself, have attemtped to explain their motivation for breeding to you several times before and each time you state that because of this, you don't understand, which is fine...you feel how you feel. But why repeatedly question the breeders here for making this choice despite the risks, which they all seem well aware of? Thus far, no explanation given has been "acceptable," so why continue to push the issue and question others? You don't get it, some others accept it, why not just leave it at that?
As far as not understanding why you have been treated rudely, I really can't give you any explanation as to why you didn't receive these types of responses back in May. Fact being, this is how people are responding now so YOU have to decide if this is something you are willing to continue to push, despite the fact as beeing labeled as "rude" by some. Honestly, I don't think it will matter if you do or not. I am sure that like so many other threads here lately, tempers have flared on both sides and this thread too will eventually be locked.
