And it certainly doesn't make a person (like the OP of that thread) want to take any advice when they are being attacked and picked apart for things. There is always a way to say that very same info in a kind, respectful, informative and non judgemental way. The advice in that thread was not wrong but the way it was given was completely out of line and therefore those dogs who could have been helped now probably won't because the OP probably only saw attacks instead of helpful advice given with compassion and in a respectful manner. :thumbdown The elevator needs to go to the top floor on how to communicate effectively with one another and there are a handful of people who just don't get it. Very sad.:(

You say that I was not one of the people you are referring to and talk about my peers. First of all, let me remind you that your peer jumped all over me and falsely accused me. Did you say anything to him?

You are frustrated because I suppose you want something to happen to a person who voiced their opinion. You don't call the shots on that and I would like to suggest that you learn that quickly. Losing sleep over something online is simply unhealthy.

I honestly believe that if some of your peers had not jumped in and come up with such lame excuses for a person to breed indiscriminately, then it would never have come to what it did. How do you see them as any different than those you are complaining about? Seriously. They only posted to start a complaint session...to defend someone breeding an abused pup...surely people HAVE to know that the poor dog should never have been bred. You expect yorkie lovers to just sit back and be quiet? That will never happen, so I suggest you find a healthy way to deal with it before it makes you ill.

My peers ... I suppose you mean other rescuers, although some of the people who agreed with us are not rescuers; are wonderful people who totally love the breed and give to them on a daily basis. I am proud to be associated with them.

I see all of the comments here as simply more drama. I say let it go. You cannot change things. There are many people on YT who bother me with things they say/do; but, I realize that I don't have the magic button to make them leave. We all need to simply learn to live and let live.

What someone says does not make it so.

Don't you see that you are also being intolerant? seriously You are doing just what you are complaining about.

Being respectful doesn't mean you are condoning what someone is doing!! There was a good advice given at the beginning but it got ugly really fast! The issues you listed above are serious and did need to be addressed but could have been done without out and out meaness and being rude. All I'm saying here.

I agree w/ Mardelin - that's where I'm coming from as well.

I think this thread is presumptive. It infers too much about the original thread that wasn't there, in my opinion. This person, disabled or fully abled, was breeding an abused dog, was not providing a safe environment for these dogs, and was adding more dogs to the mix. THAT was really the issue. Dogs were fighting, puppies died.

When a few people made comments saying she should not be using these dogs to make money, those comments, imo, were *not* about her disability - those comments were about the fact that she was *not* breeding safely.

For the record, maryeverrett1, I am not blind - but I do find it very ironic and rather insensitive that you would make that kind of comment in this thread.

And how am I doing "just what I am complaining about?" I have made no personal attacks on anyone. Attacking what a person says "about their dog" is one thing. Making rude comments about their financial or phyhsical status is as whole different ball game.

I am not reopening the discussion sbout her dog

This thread is not about whether she did right or wrong by her dog. It is whether the posters did right or wrong, by another individual, by YT, by an entire class of people.

The issues to me were:
She took in a 1yr female that according to her was physically abused, skin & bones and had emotional issues. This female was immediately bred.
This same female has now drawn blood on another pregnant female & killed their puppies.
I'm sorry but that still breaks my heart, those were the issues for me.
I also think a lot of advice was given to her at the beginning.
I'm not condoning the comments you are bringing up that were made to her, but I don't condone her actions where this poor female is concerned either.

I'm new to YT, and I didn't read the post, but, I have read a few of these comments. I came on here this morning to ask a question.....now, I'm not sure I should ask anything on here!!:confused:
