I am one of those people that requested pics. But just because I requested a pic does not mean I condone puppy mills – in fact I agree with you whole heartedly on puppy mills. I despise them. I now know, thanks to this website, that Max and Sasha came from a GREEDER and not a breeder. But that does not mean that I don’t love them with my entire heart and soul. While I wish that no one would ever buy from a puppy mill again and that buying from them only perpetuates the situation now that this puppy has been born he/she deserves all the love and care that is possible. Hopefully the OP has listened to what you and others have to say and down the road if she, or other readers of this site, are ever in the same situation they will make a different decision because of what they have learned here. I know I will.

You insinuated that you were done with this sight and that would be a loss for this sight. I, for one, hope you stay. Your knowledge and opinions, as harshly stated as they may be, are what makes this sight special. To go to another site where everyone agrees with your views would be, IMO, a waste of your life’s experience. You need to stay here and keep yelling at people that puppy mills are wrong. And most likely 99 out of 100 times you will be ignored. But if 1 time you can make a difference then don’t you think it would be worth it?

Like you I have reached the age where I don’t need other people’s approval to feel good. If someone doesn’t like what I do then they can move on. But I hope I never reach the age where I stop learning from other people and trying to pass that knowledge on to others. Yes I asked for a pic and I want to see as many pics as possible as this furbaby grows up. And no that is not an oxymoron. I can hate puppy mills but still love the puppies that come from there. They did not choose where they came from.

I wish you the best.
