Wow, this ruffled some feathers, huh? I knew I wouldn't be the popular one when I said something that needed to be said, but that's how it goes sometimes.
My appologies to those of you who read my words and misunderstood them. That could be because I typed them wrong (looked good to me) or you're reading them w/ the wrong attitude. That's what makes typing over the internet so dangerous. You can't hear my voice or see my face to base a typical human responce to the words I put out. If you were having a bad day and read what I wrote, you'd come up w/ a different opinion that you may have if you read it when you had your little one curled up next to you and read it. In either case, I've been taken both ways and I can appreciate that. Breeding is something that should be regarding in a high light. Our Yorkies are small in stature (big in heart) and they often are plagued w/ health problems that should've never existed in the numbers they do today due to poor breeding. Genetics are funny, they're a science and too many people are playing scientist. I wish more people would take responsibility for what they're producing. Something that bothered me most is that I BET you, if I brought a puppy miller on this thread, his defense as to why he breeds would be no different than many responses on here and that's what I had a problem w/. Breeding is natural and breeding well is an art-thankfully there is a standard that people should adhere to. And a kennel club to partially help enforce it. | Nope, I don't think anyone misunderstood you - you were crystal clear. You exposed yourself for the type of person you are and we all see it. Your remarks about Down's Syndrome were inappropriate, unkind, ignorant, and had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with this topic. I don't know if you intended to be so cruel, but I hope at the very least you have learned something about human nature - all life is valuable. Down's people are the most loving people and would never, ever think like you do. Did you know that there are adoption waiting lists for these lovable people? They are wanted and appreciated and loved by most. Next time, I would advise you to stay ON TOPIC!
(I'm sorry - but this really got to me - it hits me really close to the heart.) |
