NO, I would never "berate" some one for bringing in a stray dog. I think that is awesome
I'm glad to hear that, then perhaps you spoke to quickly in including yourself as a shrieking harpy.
The comment I was most puzzled by is your supporting shooting animals.
The comment was over the top and I've already said I retract it - it was a response to the berating the OP got from the get go - I was making the point that those who simply attack people who are genuinely trying to do the right thing, even if you don't agree with an earlier action they made, can do more harm than good. In the specific instance I cited, driving away people who care enough about abandoned dogs to take them to the shelter, but not enough about them to take the to the shelter,
and put up with a rash of sht about it as well.
You also put her down for encouraging people to spay & neuter
. No, I put her down for continuing her little spay/neuter tirade at
me after I had told her repeatedly that it wasn't my dog and that my dogs were spayed/nuetered (which she'd have known if she'd bothered to remember that I adopted my dogs there), and then for doing it again every time I brought another stray in.
I definitely feel the OP is a caring person who is honestly experiencing an accident litter (not a too-lazy-to-alter litter), and coming here to get help is a great thing.
If she'd been like a lot of people, she'd just have just gone elsewhere for advice after first having to put up with the shtstorm of
and then Serena tearing into her like that. If she'd been a reader thinking of asking advice on how to care for her puppies, maybe not ask for help at all for fear of being flamed.
Maybe obstetricians/pediatricians should take that tack whenever they have a patient who they think shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place wants pre/post natal care. Maybe it would cut down on unplanned children. More likely it would just cause unplanned children to not get good medical care.
