One which anyone, celebrity or not, would be ashamed to be associated with, or admit they have supported the Breeder that stooped to that level of literal abuse.
These Celebrities may just be the avenue to that shame !
They have WebPages, Facebook, other Sites which they use to revel their popularity. I'm going to try to find those sites, and shame the person, tell what hideous acts they are supporting. This topic is something that one of those Sensationalistic Magazines would probably love to know. They like to embarrass celebrities like that. There must be many resources which we could find to do that.
We (here on YT) have been badmouthing this activity forever. I think it's time to step it up a notch if there's ever anything actually going to be done about it.
What do you think, would/will you take an active roll in this ? |
We will never stop greedy breeders; they will pick a new word if people learn to avoid breeders who advertise teacups. All we can do is help people choose good breeders and this goes way beyond a breeder who uses that word. Buyers should be educated to know that good breeders don't breed small dogs and don't breed FOR small dogs. So many backyard breeders don't want to get picked on so they use the words "doll face" which is synonym for teacup. They breed 6 pound mamas so that they can't be criticized, but 3 pound daddy's hoping that the buyer will think the pups will be an "average" rate, and most pet buyers don't realize, that's not how it works. Most pet buyers don’t understand what standard means don’t think we need a standard, and only seem to be concerned with one thing - size. We have a great link in the library that gives so much great information on finding a good breeder. I hope all YT members read it and remember to link it.
