If any of you dare, take a look at this video This type of thing happens day in and day out all over the world to pups and adult dogs who were bred by irresponsible breeders. You can safely assume that when you buy a pup from such a breeder, several of their litter mates will incur the same fate at some stage in their lives. and in effect YOU are partly responsible for this by buying their pups and so encouraging them to breed more victims.

btw, Betsy, Barbara, Aruuu,Biscuit etc, I too think you are " mean "by trying your 'damnest' to educate people on the horrors of irresponsible breeding, in order to end this cruelty. Yeah RIGHT!!!!!!

"irresponsible" seems like a generous way to describe them.

A minority of backyard bred dogs remain with their original purchasers. The majority are passed around, find their way into rescues if they're lucky, or end up in shelters, on the wrong end of a needle or worse, as the video demonstrates. I can't imagine that anyone could decide that their one puppy from a backyard breeder is worth the horrible things that will happen to that puppy's brothers and sisters. As sadeyes says, *everyone* who buys from a puppy from a petstore or backyard breeder becomes part of the cycle of cruelty.

OMG

I'm SO upset by watching that.

I recon this clip might help others on this site see exactly what they are encouraging.

BYB and people who buy from them make me SICK

biscuit

Jeez.

Sadly, though, the video's not at all surprising.

I couldn't watch.

I don't know how these people sleep at night.

Oh there's NO WAY I could watch that after reading what it said prior to showing the movie!! I get it ...I'll always rescuce. ALWAYS ...I have two rescues now and when they leave me, I will replace them with rescues. I dearly want a little puppy one day and will do my best to find one to "rescue" rather than buy from an irresponsible breeder.

Hopefully our board will be around (and maybe performing better!!!) when the time comes for me to search for a puppy. I'll put everyone on the case to find one for me!

Sorry. Just can't watch it.

I ditto faysie. Whenever there is something that deals with cruelty of any kind, I just can't watch. With Abby being a 10 1/2 year old, I know there will come a time when she makes her final trip to the Bridge and my husband and I have talked about the future with another basset. I tell him that we either find a responsible, reputable breeder or go to a rescue and that's it!! That is one reason I try to go to the Wichita Kennel Dog Show each year and look at the dogs and talk to the owners to get as much information as I can.

I didn't click on the link but I didn't need to. It sounds like it has upsetting content and the facts I've learned over the years since adopting Moe are upsetting enough. I know that terrible things are going on involving dogs and I don't support those things in any way (BYB's, puppymills and pet stores that sell dogs). I am not afraid to educate friends or aquaintences about ignorantly "breeding" thier dogs. I can't bear to read about or see such terrible things but I understand that this information goes a long way towards educating people and visuals are very powerful education tools. So sad that it's even necessary...

Just the text intro was enough for me.. I don't think I could ever go back from seeing such a horrible thing, so I stopped the video. I've always loved animals. I just can't watch people kill them.
