[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s pretty clear you know nothing about the dog industry, and that significantly diminishes your credibility. Please read The Dog Merchants. It’s a landmark report on the puppy mill industry, how bad it is, and the sometimes unethical and ultimately enabling shelters who buy (“rescue”) puppies from auctions and perpetuate the cycle. This why we need to push through legislation that will give more rights to animal companions and prohibit inhumane practices. This leads to broader philosophical questions about pet ownership too. Rescueing individual pets from shelters who buy puppies, directly or indirectly, is WORSE than doing nothing, if you consider the number of lives that will suffer in the future because the puppy mill was able to stay in business. Instead of spending your time talking to us, participate in anti-puppy mill campaigns. [/quote]
