Before you breed your unpapered dog........

[browniesmom622]

i got if from someone that got it from another forum (dont know which one) who prob got it from someone else
it doesnt say anywhere who originaly wrote it

I don't think having papers makes it okay to breed your dog. Most of our pets should not be bred. There are very very few dogs that have such outstanding characteristics that one could justify expanding the pet population to further those characteristics.

Wow... That was tough, I almost stoped reading it half way through... my gosh that was tough!

I wish they would stuff every bag at pet co with it for a month nation wide!!! Now that would send a message!!!!!

[doortego]

I don't think Petco would really want to do that in the event that it would cost them dollars in lost sales but maybe I am too cynical. I am afraid that profit is what is truly behind the pet explosion.

I'm not trying to step on any toes because I too am just as guilty of lavishing many dollars on frivolous pet items. If we were all as concerned as we say we are about cruelty to animals, we would probably be spending that money to fund animal spay/neuter activites & shelters.

Also, if we weren't willing to spend $1000s of dollars for these cute little purebred pups (again I am guilty), the puppy millers would lose their market and the profitability of their businesses.

As pet owners & even more so as breeders, we need to examine our consciences. Animals are not baby dolls or accessories, they are living breathing suffering lives.

I have to say that I have thought about rescuing but you know what, I don't want to rescue the stray mutt, I want to rescue a cute little Maltese. Now what does that say about me? The ugly mutt's suffering doesn't hurt as much as the Maltese.

I pray that God will open our eyes & our hearts to become caring, responsible animal lovers.

I am crying so hard, Is this for real???????? God help this man with his pain and God help us find another way for our animals . My husband hunts and I thought what he did is awlful.

I strongly believe in spay or neutering an animal! As it states above, if there were laws mandating it, our shelters would not be full, there would be no euthanization of unwanted animals - there wouldn't be a surplus of animals to be unloved and unwanted. But, unfortunately, we live in a society where every dog, cat, or animal of any kind is "oh so cute" and "I gotta have one of those" without ever truly grasping the meaning of unconditional love and dedication it takes to raise them beyond the "cute baby stage". Sorry, didn't mean to get carried away. Thanks again for sharing this!

You are so right, the people that need to read that WONT! It makes me cry.
Before Phoebe passed away I would get so blasted angry when people would ask me why I would not breed her and they were upset with me, for not wanting to breed her! Go figure. I don't know how to explain this, but in my opionion the breeders responsibilty to the animal does not end when they sell it. Make sure the people you sold to are following through with spaying and neutuering. That is pretty blunt. But I did not know how else to say it.

Sorry for venting, but it really upset me.

I too couldn't read it all............sorry

I have read the whole post, be honest I had to find out what happen to the animals and the man, to me the man loved the animals more than anyone else did.This made me cry made me mad, He is right!!! To many ppl get animals as babys but don't want them as adults SHAME on them. this is very upsetting I will have nightmares about this now, bless there little hearts. My God bless the man that doesn't this, His guilt will eat him alive. BELIVE ME this is something I know about is GUILT. This is just what I think.

very very heart wrenching but its true and people need to be educated. I think this should be handed out with every animal that is adopted. maybe people would think twice about their " just one dog, with just ONE litter of puppies"!!

[NIKITA & LILO]

THIS IS SO SAD!!!!
I can't stop crying!
I can't read things like this, I have a nightmares afterwards.....
To sad but True!!!

[Connie]

This is so sad...it's all such a shame!

[candybaby]

This story deserves to be told to EVERYONE that owns an animal. It should get a writters award, "WOW". I'm going to see who I can contact tomorrow about this.

If nobody minds can I print this story and take it to my city comissioner (did I spell that right), he's my friends uncle.

I'll admit.. I have been deeply touched and deeply saddened by many things on YT.. but this is the first to actually make me cry. I read the whole thing - to say that it is sad is an understatement. I had no idea - no, I never thought about it - that this was practiced at any animal shelter. This writer painted such a vivid picture of what he does and how the animals must feel. I can just imagine the looks of hope on the dogs' faces - the same look that my dogs get when they see me coming with a treat or getting them ready for a walk...
