Again, please explain HOW this is so!
So when I bought ZoE, you believe a dog was killed in a shelter? It seems to me that you are making the implication that if I hadn't bought ZoE, then I would have obtained my dog at a shelter??? Which is simply not the case. I, personally, would not go to a shelter to get a dog. For me it is either from a breeder of my choice or not at all. So, if I hadn't bought ZoE, would a dog still be killed at a shelter?
Again, I'll equate it to children. To me, it's like you're saying if I hadn't had two children of my own, there would be two less children in the fostercare system. Which, again, is simply not the case, as I would have chosen to either have my own children, or have none.
Finally, if you're so concerned about dogs being killed in shelters why don't you work on getting kill shelters shut down, or work on legislature that makes people legally responsible for their dogs for life....maybe then they'd think long & hard before getting one.
