I find this very hard to believe. Puppy mills and undeniable backyard breeders with really low standards outnumber above-standard breeders.
Relative to blame, when a rescue is called about a Yorkie who was mauled by Doberman and allowed to sit and suffer for a week -- I can't find fault with the rescue person for expressing anger and disgust -- she didn't do it in front of the person responsible for allowing this suffering, as far as I know. There is no glossing over things like this or putting a smiley face on it.
Blame and anger are not always a part of rescue. Like when an older woman with limited resources surrendered her very ill puppy so that the rescuer could try to get her medical attention.
When it comes time to adopt these pups out, I have not noted any anger or blame in the advertisements.  |
Well actually me too, not agreeing with all that was said. Sometimes you post something not because you agree with all the content, but to share, to nudge, to expand our horizons so to speak.
But I reflect on all the conversations here, the Sick n Emergency threads and even the rescue threads. Surely the point is not how bad of a condition the dog came in when placed in the shelter, but this is a dog that needs a for-ever home?
Just thinking out loud.
