What the heck is the purpose of this!?!?! Makes me angry! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

stedmansmommy · 04-11-2009, 12:11 PM

I was just browsing around online at Yorkie pictures and came across this Yorkie puppy (which is for sale). This little one is very cute, but that is a ZIP TIE around it's neck!!!

WHY would anyone ever put a zip tie on a little babies neck like that!

This is so upsetting! Makes me so angry.

Totally agree.

That is SERIOUSLY out of order.

Is it a rescue? The pup is cute, but I too can't fathom why ANYONE would put something like that around a pups neck...

Nope....it is a "breeder" that has this little one for sale

Absolutely TERRIBLE!

That's not very smart anyway. Why would ayone put something like that around it's neck. It could get caught on something or the zip could get pulled and strangle the poor thing. Can you contact this person and give say something?

I'm sure it is a way of Identifying the pup.. But Oh so wrong!

I don't even like the yarn or ribbon I see on necks! I wonder if they've heard of microchips?

AmyChristine · 04-11-2009, 12:30 PM

It makes no sense at all, and is very maddening. Some people shouldn't be allowed to own pets imo

blueeyes_jd · 04-11-2009, 12:31 PM

WOW!!!

that makes me sad and MAD all at the same time...

stedmansmommy · 04-11-2009, 12:32 PM

I know...I agree with all of you....there is no excuse for this. It is just SO dangerous

Geez, why don't people THINK before they do things this stupid!

I feel so sorry for that poor baby

I know

Ok guys...here is the link! Whoever wants to contact the breeder and let them have it, by all means do so! LOL

Seriously though, this so called "breeder" needs to know just how *WRONG* this is

That's what I thought too....a way of identifying the pup...but you're right, it is very, VERY wrong

Not to mention, incredibly dangerous!

I hate yarn on the necks too....what is WRONG with some people!!!

What do you use to distinguish between puppies when recording weights as they grow? Do you read the microchip each time you weigh? I don't have a reader and have not chipped the puppies yet. Do you chip them right away?

I have yarn around mine. I change it every few days so that it never gets too tight or too loose. I had a soft velcro in different colors that I was going to use, but I didn't have 5 colors so I used the yarn this time. I would like a better method than the yarn. But why is it so bad? I am feeling like I shouldn't even be admitting to the yarn. But seriously, I would never do anything to hurt these precious little ones!

I would never use zip ties though -- they would not give at all if they got caught on something and just the hard plastic seems like it would be terribly uncomfortable and might rub them raw.

JRo · 04-11-2009, 02:11 PM

OMG, that is so dangerous and scary!! Poor little pup!

blahblah · 04-11-2009, 02:15 PM

the most dangerous part of using a zip tie is that if it gets pulled just right it will tighten on the neck and possibly chock the dog if it gets tight enough

Very sad that a breeder is doing this, you would thing a breeder would know better but i guess not in this case
