This is so wrong on so many levels. The fact that she will not listen is horrible. What is she teaching her daughter??? Would she raffle off one of her children?? NO so why a firbaby. This just makes me sick.

Some people just don't have a clue, either that or they just don't care!

Thats what we do for my daughters Color Guard. We get no funding from school. We have bake sales, car wash, pancake breakfast, anything we can think of. These girls work hard to have a team,it teaches them that if you want it you have to earn it. I can't even imagine doing something so horrible, Definitely not the message I want to teach my daughter.

Glad to hear people still do bake sales and other things. Around here, the parents go around to all the shops and just flat out asking for donations! this is a upper middle class community too! Once we got a cold call at our shop asking for monetary donations and we said we don't do that. Instead of saying ok thank you, the woman goes on to harrass me! Well it felt like she was harassing me. "Why not?" she asks. I said we can't afford to. She says "You don't support your local schools?" I say no we can't afford to. Again, "Why not?" I just ended up hanging up on her. A no is a no, i don't feel like I have to tell her my whole story and my reasons why to get her to end the call.

You pay taxes to support your local schools. That should be enough.

BanditSocks2 · 06-03-2010, 07:06 PM

That's awful. I hope she truly does go to a good home

you are assuming that she even has the knowledge of what the care of a yorkie is.

I just emailed before finishing reading thru the thread. Hopefully, in the future she will think before doing something so irresponsible.

OOOHH yes! I am sure!!! I will be emailing soon also

HollyandMommy · 06-03-2010, 07:22 PM

LOL I emailed her and was not nice.

JMuedog · 06-03-2010, 08:40 PM

The college here in my town did the same thing with a Pomeranian. I just thinkg that is so wrong! They were advertising on the radio stations around and so many people just thought it was terrible. I just don't understand why people would think it was ok to raffle away a life and what breeder donates a puppy to be raffled... just craziness imo

2Morkies · 06-03-2010, 08:53 PM

Maybe she is a "backyard breeder" and doesn't care what anyone says. $2.00 a ticket!! It seems she doesn't respect living creatures, let alone know the value of a Yorkie. I wonder what the SPCA would have to say about raffling off a puppy?? Whoever said it should be illegal is right on...it should be. We should all buy 150 tickets then one of us is bound to win......(don't say it...I know, bad idea, it would just encourage her more)

You're right, Bo. Probably a poor assumption on my part.

It sounds like she's giving out different responses to people - telling some the raffle is still on and telling others it isn't.
