Well, we all agree, that its frustrating to those who have been victims to those who work so hard at trying to stop these people and to those who do rescue. Actually frustrating is such an under statement.
I apologize for my first harsh post, it doesn't change how I feel or what I think, but to have stated it that way certainly wasn't right.
There are ethical breeders out there that don't help the cause, because they don't take the time to educate people and they don't return calls or emails.
T.V and commericals certainly don't help, there are so many programs or commerials that show someone purchasing a puppy from a pet store and how many advertizments have we all seen of a puppy hanging in a Christmass stocking??
Hell, even Oprah gave a litter away on T.V!! (didn't see the show but heard about it), what kind of message is that giving all the millions that watch and live by what she does and says???? Good grief.
Bob Baker and the Price is Right, did so much for Spaying and Neutering.........why can't someone else help to direct people to the right place to purchase a puppy. Oprah would be perfect, but repeated emails on this subject goes unanswered.
I'll tell you, if I ever win the lotto, it will be my goal to STOP people like this Tammy person. Because obscene amounts of money paves the way.
Saint, thanks for coming to my defense, for understanding and for making your point of view so well written.
