[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some outlet did a huge expose of the practice of buying "rescues" from breeders and how it perpetuates the dog production business and costs donors huge amounts of money.  I think it ws The Post, and I think it was pre-covid.

[back after googling] - here's an article that points to the Post article. No idea how/if this has changed over the past 7 years.

But I do agree - I hate to be so hard hearted, but there are too many dogs, and shuttling them from one area of the country to another does not seem to be an efficient use of resources.  [/quote]
That article is 7 years old, anything recent? You keep bringing it up every time to support your point that rescues are buying puppies.[/quote]

The facts haven't changed, and the article cited is sound. If anything, this same phenomenon has gone unchecked, and is likely worse. If you didn't believe it then, you probably won't believe it now, but there's the reality for you.

If it's worse now - you'd see more information about it. The fact that you can't produce anything more recent (or at least a second source) means to me that it's wasn't widespread 7 years ago, let alone now. Anything remotely controversial/newsworthy gets amplified by social media very quickly this days. That "phenomenon" wouldn't stand a chance of being unchecked. [/quote]
