Went on a rampage on facebook today! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

RachelandSadie · 08-09-2011, 10:20 AM

here's what I said after seeing several posts for free to good home cats and dogs in the local swap meet facebook page.

People of Missouri I am sick and tired of your attitudes regarding animals. Pets are NOT disposable objects that you can just re home or get rid of each time you feel they no longer fit into your family's plans. There are too many pets in shelters right now. If you don't want a dog or cat for LIFE then don't get one at all. Stop giving them away just because you change your mind and for goodness sakes stop getting another one if you are giving away the ones you have!

Also breeding for money is a SICK and GREEDY practice! There are better ways to make money than stuffing poor innocent animals in cages in your barn and forcing them to breed their entire lives.

Oh yea and freaking spay and neuter your pets people! Overpopulation of animals is ridiculous don't be another reason a dog or cat dies. Keep your pets from breeding! It's the right thing to do.

I can see, and am all for your passion about the excess puppy mills in Missouri and the way some view dogs as a commodity, but your attack on everyone who lives in Missouri is unfair. I know there are just as many people living in Missouri, if not more, who love their pets as much as we on YT do.
If you really want to help those poor dogs, contact the congressman and governor of Missouri and let them know they need to put a new law in their books prohibiting the breeding of small animals for profit, and change the number of cats and dogs anyone can own, even if they "are" outside the city limits. Send them a hundred emails a week until they make changes!!
I've been doing exactly this in my state, (which by the way is a HUGE state) for a long time, and now am starting to see a big change. Of course I have lots of people on my side that are doing the same. Remember UNITED WE STAND. Well, we CAN do this if we stick together.

Jennxling · 08-09-2011, 11:20 AM

Can't agree with you more!!

stanziog · 08-09-2011, 11:38 AM

I don't think Rachel is attacking everyone who lives in Missouri, but she knows some of the problems first hand, she's from Missouri and has been active in the legislation there.

Thanks Nancy!

Those that are loving MO pet parents I wasn't referring to. In general the state and it's citizens have a poor attitude about pets and that they can just get them and dump them when they feel their family can't do it anymore. Can you imagine the scarring on these poor souls? Pets have feelings and feel loss when a family dumps them or rehomes them. Don't have them if you can't commit to them for their entire "short" little lives!
