Does anybody else here share my concern about the 10,000,000 dogs slaughtered every year for lack of homes? Many of them live short, miserable lives before a less than humane death. This is graphic,
Brightlion | In Hope The dog forums I have been a part of are uniformly anti breeding. I don't see how anybody that knows and loves dogs can help it. I am very disappointed with those gushing concern and caring on other issues here, not opposing breeding.
I pick up an occasional red square for my troubles, but nothing is going to stop me from speaking out on this issue. It is true much of the trouble comes from puppy mills and back yard breeders out for the money, but accidental breedings are a big problem too. I doubt many of the mixed breeds choking our shelters were bred by somebody looking to make a buck. Part of the problem is vets failing educate pet owners. So much for the idea they are a bunch of money grubbers pushing unneeded services.
Maybe I have had a bad week with question after question on another site from the totally clueless. Many of them don't give enough details to know why they are asking. But they are questions that if you don't know the answer, you should have had your dog fixed by 6 months.
