That last line KILLS me  If she had any compassion for animals, she would have surrendered this pup to the rescue that offered to take her and get her surgery. Instead, she lies about it. I'm sure that in the hands of a truly skilled surgeon, her size would be plenty big enough by now. And as far as not putting the puppy down because of her condition being "admirable" NO, it's not, it's torture to keep an animal that is suffering alive if you know darned well that you're not going to do what's right by that animal and get it proper care. No splint, no vet care to speak of..........UGH I'm so disgusted. This kind of thing keeps me up at night  |
From her "excuse" ramble: "Rescues themselves do not have the financial means to pay for such a hefty surgical bill let alone most normal pet owners."
She cannot put herself in the category of a "normal pet owner." Once she started breeding, she put herself in a category that carries a very heavy responsibility -- she started bringing these creatures into the world, and any genetic or developmental problem they experience IS of her doing. Any injury they experience while in her care IS her responsibility. If she can't put enough $$ aside to be ready to cover the potential expense, then she doesn't have the resources required, morally or ethically (and in some locations, legally) to be a breeder.
