Just to add my 2cents worth.
I think she was led to believe that "teacups" were a separate breed, and she thought she was buying one, therefore when it got to be over 7 pounds she felt she had been scammed.
So in her saying she wanted a "good one" perhaps, she simply meant she wanted what she thought she was buying, not realizing that they don't exist. That the word is just a description, not a breed. She had no idea that "teacups" are not a separate breed.
As for her be willing to take the runt of the litter, well someone has to give them a home too.
That is the problem with using that term when you are selling. It makes people believe that it is a separate breed, not just a size description.
There is nothing wrong with the term in itself, it's the way it is used to extort money out of people that is wrong.
When someon is selling one and describing it as a "teacup" they deserve to be bashed.
When someone is buying looking for a "teacup" they need to be educated so they aren't taken in by some slick advertising. |
