We can do both. It’s not one or the other. |
That is how much breeders charge. So when I’m looking to get a dog, I think do I pay $800 for a puppy from a breeder where I will be getting a puppy with whatever breed characteristics I want. Or, am I going to pay $800 for a rescue and take a gamble on issues? I’m going to pay the breeder $800. But, I would more likely be willing to get a rescue if it wasn’t the same price as a breeder. I don’t think they should be free. I’m aware there are expenses, but many of these rescues have gone overboard. and that is where they’re making their money. Tax benefits, and who knows how much they make us each dog. |
Lots of things are unhealthy, but people still eat them. Meat is meat in terms of consumption. |
Then why are you on this thread? I'm not telling you what to do with your time or money. Why do you care what others do? How do you know I don't help dogs here? I do! And I help people. Why do you keep asking why aren't some lives mire important than others without providing your answer? Is your solution don't save anyone if you can't save everyone? Why are humans seem more important than other animals? All animals are equal although some animals are more equal than others. Animal Farm |
Let's face it you wouldn't adopt from a shelter. Which is fine. But, did you know that some months shelters will waive the fees of the pets? People do not work here to make money. Stop the lies. |
|
No, we cannot as if we were the shelters here would not be full. |
It’s a business like any other business. Be real. |
You are harming animals to eat meat and feed your pets meat. What is the difference from you giving your dog multiple chickens a week? Why not focus on the dogs here who need homes? Why is the organization back door brining in these dogs as people pretending they are pets when they just hand them over to be sold? |
So, you are being hypocritical. Do you know how many animals lose their life each year to feed you and your dog? Their lives are just as important. If their culture is to eat dogs, why do you get to overrule them? |
Shelters are not rescues. Tax breaks = making money. |
Yes! Call me a hypocrite! I value the life of a dog over that of a chicken. I proudly wear my hyporite badge. We are all hypocrites in that we judge each other all the time! We tell other countries not to circumsize their girls or you should educate them. Isn't that telling someone else's culture what to do? So you are one too unless you don't believe that we should educate girls in Afganistan or Iran. Or that girl circumsion is a 'cultural choice' South Korea just banned the dog meat trade. Young people do not eat dog. So if that is their culture now why are you forcing them to go back to their old ways? In the wild animals eat other animals. If lions and such didn't we would have an overpopulation of prey animals. How would that affect the environment? Are you going to stop a lion from eating a deer? How would you do so? I believe in eating chickens. Isn't it my right to feed mysel and my dog chickens? Aren't you the hypocrite too for taking away my culture? Save the chickens if you want. But if you can not tell others whom they can save or not. |
They are doing good so why shouldn't they get tax breaks. Do you believe churches also get tax breaks? |
The shelters here are not full of adorable dogs. The decent dogs go almost immediately. What’s left are nasty pits or relderly dogs with expensive medical conditions. We really don’t have a problem with great adoptable dogs languishing in shelters. |
Thanks for the heads up, OP. I sometimes fly from Seoul to the US and would happily care for a dog during my trip. It isn’t harming the environment if it is a trip you are making anyway so the discussion of that seems pointless. |
