Banning Suggestion I would like to respectfully urge Admin to ban any member who threatens to put a dog down just because it's not selling fast enough, or for any other reason besides medical reasons. For example, we recently had someone post: Quote:

Admin, I'd also like to add that this is one of the ways some breeders manipulate the USDA, and in the video made by CAPPS, you will see a USDA breeder giving another pretend breeder advice. He says that if the USDA suggests any improvements that they should just tell the USDA that they'll have a "dispersal shooting", and the USDA inspector will back off. View Investigation Report The breeder adds, and "the USDA inspector knows I'll do it." My point is that this is a manipulative technique used by certain breeders and it should be forbidden here. |

I agree with your post Nancy..comments like this should never be tolerated on YT. While I don't believe the OP would really do it she was playing with emotional blackmail and she knew it. It is very difficult for me to believe anything a person would say after comments like that. |

But, dang it anyway, you always have the ability to post thought provoking suggestions/information. By the way excellent suggestion. |

I would also like to add...if the post fits; then you must be :banned:!!! Posters who make suggestions (threats:rolleyes:) like that should not be tolerated...not even once...it should be so long, adios & hope to never read another thing you have to say...period! That's it...I'm done.;) |
I'm not sure about banning someone for saying it - the first time - but I definitely think that they should be suspended. Saying something like that is very distressing. And honestly, ya just don't know what people will do anymore. It's inappropriate to say and even worse for some young person to read. I know that it was said in a heated thread but that was wrong. |
I definately agree with Banning. Anyone that has such a thought in their head, let alone write/say it????? |
I'd like to respectfully request that poster be put to sleep. |

I'm still shocked that the poster wasn't reprimanded in any way - not even a short suspension. I'll never forget the offhand way she mentioned having the girl PTS - I was literally sick to my stomach over it. This comment was unforgivable and I will never forget it. |

While I agree she should be banned or suspended, I don't think you should stoop to her level, this is not even really a joke. That was a harsh comment ..IMO:( |
I agree, any threat like that is uncalled for and do we really want those people on YT? |
When I first read those words in print were beyond disturbing. The post was not an verbal attack toward a member of YT but so much worse..........toward a defenseless dogs without a voice. They were used to incite and cause emotional harm to members of this board. Threats against animals should never be tolerated or acceptable~even if there is a halfhearted apology once tempers simmer down. :thumbdown |

Nancy, I agree. Thank you Admin for considering it. ~Joanne~ |
Thank you admin for taking this into consideration. I agree with the other posts in that this is emotional blackmail and shouldn't be tolerated. And, think this subject (threatening PTS) should be addressed in the YT rules for future readers benefit. |
Ok Ladies, step away from the computer. There is a recent thread (today) where she apologized, and it was heartfelt in my opinion. Most will fogive and move on. Just this old guys opinion. Things heat up, and a lot will say things they may not mean. When the bullets are flying, we get an adrenelin rush. Some just lay there in shock, while others move forward. Move forward. Have a great day. Raining here in Crook County, Il. |

Ok, thanks |

I don't necessarily think this person should be banned as the YT rules don't specifically mentioned PTS threats are a reason for banning. But, I do think the rule should be added and banning or a long suspension should be the action taken in the future. |

I still stand behind my original statement that it is/was disturbing to read and without a specific rule in place it was not addressed at the time. If a rule would have been in place then it possibly it would have been applied. The above mentioned post was not the first time a member threatened to have a dog PTS. I remember about 2 yrs ago there was a guy that threatened to take his dog and "have it killed". The rule could have applied to that thread as well. That too was posted (i believe) for shock value. FYI~this thread was NOT started to call for a BANNING for anyone. It was to ask for a change in rules to address a situation the did happen but it was NOT the first time on this forum that someone threatened to do this. Thank you ADMIN for considering this and all of the other suggestions that are made in this forum. :) |

Second, you are new here and there is more history than what you are seeing in a couple of posts. It is why many of us who have been around a long time talk about the newbies because some of this has been going on for years. |

Now you can attack me. I know, I am newer here and don't "understand". |
To each their own. Many of us fight to keep animals alive and yes animals are killed everyday by sick humans..right now there is one in TN where the owner is going to shoot their dog unless a rescue picks him up. Do you want to gamble on the owner is just trying to get rid of the dog? I know you have fun on this forum and that is great but there are some of us who place dogs ahead of people...and find this type of thing very unsettling. |

You do realize that many breeders will cull some of their dogs. Why do you suppose that do this? Is that being cruel? I have my own thought, and while I could not do it, I realize why some do. I am done posting on this thread. I will not change anyones mind, and no one here will change mine. Again, that's fine too. Have a great week. |
