Sad...but sooo true!! Most good breeders aren't producing/selling mass quantities of dogs to the point where they need to sell them like merchandise...and they definitely don't need to pay for advertisement. And while some people may write reviews and do research, there are lots more who won't...because they are too lazy...and because they want everything NOW.
Heck...look at how many people buy dogs at pet stores having no idea the deplorable conditions their puppy came from...and they have no idea the kind of evil they are supporting. It's going to be/already is the same way online!!
People will think that because their puppy came clean with a cute little bow in it's hair, it must have came from a good loving home.
As much as I think it would be great for the owners/admins of vadzilla to research the breeders before they let someone advertise, I am guessing it would take a lot of time and energy to do so and it would be virtually impossible to keep up with.
HOWEVER, I do think it would be nice if the admins would look into complaints written and consider banning those that are obviously bad breeders....BUT, I am guessing as long as someone is paying $$ to advertise, they probably aren't going to do squat because they want the money...and it doesn't really matter to them if it's dirty puppymill money or not
On the other hand...if someone was banned for being a bad breeder, they'd probably just come back on under another name anyways.
