Don't be pointing scrawny fingers at the people on here, if it wasn't for good breeders we wouldn't have awesome information for health and diet maintenance and general care for our breed specific dogs who get fixed to prevent unwanted pregnancy which fill rescues and shelters with unwanted dogs.
You wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for people and their discarding of their pets.
Again preaching to the wrong choir on here, go moan at someone who abuse the privilege of owning a pet.
Go use your angst and energy and get TB shut down. |
"Not only are you maligning SOME very honest, respectable, responsible breeders, who care every bit as much as YOU do about where our babies go and how they end up, you are making people that WANT TO PURCHASE A PUPPY FROM SUCH A BREEDER, feel they are the lowest, stupidest, most selfish, most uninformed idiots of society for doing so."
Teegy - The above paragraph in quotes from Yorkiemom1, is what I was originally responding to. I had sent a PM to her to let her know that I regreted calling her out on the board and suggested that since she was a reputable breeder, that we should work together towards what I am sure is our common goal. And that was the response that she sent me (publically, not a PM). It was much longer, but that is a good representation of it. I have stated here many, many times that reputable breeders play an integral role in the fight against puppy mills.
and this comment from you?
"You wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for people and their discarding of their pets."
If by a "job" you mean something that occupies my mind 24/7, takes me away from time I should be spending with my family, costs me thousands of dollars each year, never mind "paying" me, and yields very little joy but a lot of sadness??? then yes, it is a job, but one that I would be thrilled to be layed off from due to "lack of available work".
