| I have a friend who isn't real bright either. I keep trying to tell her about why I won't support any Amish industries, or go to dog races and she just looks at me and says "my cousin and I go to the races all the time!" Then when I try to tell her what happens to the poor greyhounds after the "usefulness" is gone, the subject always gets changed. Sometimes I get "well you can't change it so you might as well do what you want." This applies to any boycott on the news, pet store boycotts, etc. I've even tried to explain to her why I will drive across town to buy supplies from a pet store that doesn't sell puppies and she just looks at me with this vacant expression. Its sad. Leave a couple of pictures of puppymills on your coworker's desk. Maybe then she'll see that those precious abused dogs do have feelings.

| Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Wow. The total ignorance of people amazes me - Just to THINK that some dogs have feelings and some don't is ludicrous...where in the world would someone get THAT bright idea ? Happy Birthday to KATIE !!! - Don't let others blindness or callous comments de-value her birthday - Our dogs are lucky.... I think we just wish all of them are this happy and it hurts to know MAN is the reason many aren't...but don't let that person ruin a nice memory for you and Katie - I would guide her towards Millbusters and some puppy mill sites - the more graphic the better - See how she feels after reading some of the rescue stories out there and maybe she'll change her very wrong thinking. |

| Happy Birthday Katie! You know it's sad when people are so ignorant and don't even want to learn new things. I feel sorry for that poor dog she bought from the pet store. How can you say that dogs from pet stores have different feelings? that's a load of crap! To be honest, I'm not going to Lie, I bought My Girl yorkie from a Pet Store. This was when I had NO clue about Puppymills, etc. But Now I do and I sure as heck don't support Mills at ALL! I don't understand how some people could even think that! I think dogs are all equal, purebreds, mutts, from petstores, and breeders. They are all dogs and they are all special in my eyes. |

Good point. I think your co-worker's statement has to be the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. Some people need to stop and think before they speak. | |

| What an idiot she is! By her statement she is admitting that they is something wrong with how the dogs are raised, but thinks that it's ok. She's a piece of work!

| Geeeeeeeeeeez! I'd be like, ok genius, tell me what scientific study told you that b/c I'd love to know which dogs have feelings and which do not. I mean, if you adopt a dog from a puppy mill, will it not have feelings either?

| Ok I was pissed before but now I am F#CKIN FURIOUS!!! She e-mailed me back saying that these websites are NOT true and they make up fake stories and pictures to try and gain the publics sympathy!! She said dogs in puppy mills love their life and they love being a mother. I didn't even bother responding to her e-mail - I just walked over to her office and we had it out. But ya know what? There is NO reasoning with someone that friggin ignorant! I'm not even going to try again. She's so useless! I really need to cool off now so I am going down to Starbucks to get an iced latte and I'll be back in 5 minutes.

| All I can say is wow.. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid and ignorant people can be. How could she be so stupid to think that everything negative about puppymills is faked?! At least you tried to educate her.. I probably would have just slapped her.

| What logical reasoning is behing "dogs love being a mother"?? They rip their babies away from them at a young age and then continually subject them to litter after litter until they die or are killed because they're no longer of use and able to breed. How would someone ENJOY that?
