I am wondering about people that occasionally come on YT, and advertise to sell their puppies from YT. Does YT review/screen these posters before they are allowed to advertise their puppies? Unfortunately, just the mere fact that someone is on YT advertising puppies, in SOME people's minds, validates that person and automatically means they are "good breeders". There are members that will come on close to the advertisment, and question the infrequency of the poster's contributions to this site, doing nothing more than using this site as an advertisment vehicle, etc....which is a review, to be sure....but I do not think YT assumes the responsibility of screening that person.... Regardless, I strongly believe in individual accountability. BUYERS must assume responsibility for what they do! They are continually bombarded by breeders for them to go through, check out, and decide on their own, if this is a breeder they feel comfortable with. This is necessary for ANY site, including Vadzilla. Buyers can not be coddled and protected and have knowledgable people continously run interference for them....buyers have to educate THEMSELVES what makes a breeder reputable and ethical.....NOt any site breeders choose to advertise on. I have no problem with advertising on Vaszilla....I will give them a try and let you all know what kind of results I get. I screen my buyers, so I will see if the majority of people that hit this site are looking for quality babies from ethical breeders, or if this site draws people that would be just as happy buying a cheap puppy from a newspaper ad or a flea market. |
