Reason Not to Advertise Free Pups - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ladyjane · 03-22-2010, 10:42 AM

I often advise people to be careful when placing their pups. Be sure to do a vet check which is very telling. Sometimes I mention that their pups could end up in mills....or end up as bait dogs. Never have I heard of anything like this:

WTF

Oh my god this is sickening! Thank you for letting us know.

I have to had a note about "why you shouldn't give your pet away for free to stranger" somewhere on my website when I found the time. To warn as many people as possible.

Free pets are also sometime end up sold to laboratories for testing... or keep to product worms, also sold to Laboratories for testing...

Just when you think it could not get any worse!

This is what I think of when I drive through some remote areas and down County Roads with out-buildings. I know that most are just for farm equipment etc... but sadly some are full of unsuspecting animals, breaks my heart.

Goes to show you can't trust people on line, "placing animals and saving hundreds" on their own. WHERE IS THE PROOF IN STORIES??!?? I'd need pictures, references, and copies of pd vet bills, there is always at least a paper trail that can be followed.

Always follow up references, vet checks, and meet face to face if you are re homing, or contact a REPUTABLE rescue, they will provide overwhelming proof of humane treatment!

It sounded like they were selling some of the animals and also feeding some to their snakes.

That is just awful and disgusting. I really do have to force myself to watch and listen to these things to be educated, so I appreciate you posting, Ladyjane.

That's the way I took it also. The thought of them using the dogs as food breaks my heart.

I've seen numerous times on CL, people warning others not to give dogs to "XYZ" person because they are a "dog Flipper"....you know, like house flipper...buy cheap (or in the case of dogs, getting them free) then resell for more $$. It a whole new low for the dog greeders!!!

kidmuzicdotcom · 03-22-2010, 01:53 PM

omg

I can't believe people do such things....

cj125 · 03-22-2010, 02:05 PM

I'm speechless!!!

Darlene68 · 03-22-2010, 03:03 PM

I couldn't watch this one, Just thinking about it is enough to make me ill. Some people are just demented.

Ladymom · 03-22-2010, 03:07 PM

red98vett · 03-22-2010, 03:32 PM

Nothing shocks me anymore in this day and age.

People have become despicable, loathsome, and cowardice.

Enough to make you just sick............
