So first and foremost, I don’t like or care about this woman. Don’t jump to some conclusion that I’m defending her or some bullshit like that.
Let’s talk about dogs. Do you have a dog? I bet you love him or her very much. What do you know about it’s siblings from it’s litter?
Most puppies don’t wind up in a super awesome loving home like you’ve given your dog. Most either wind up killed or in bad situations, with abusive owners, or owners who can’t care for them and abandon them, who drop them off at the pound where they’re soon euthanized. And almost all dogs are born in litters of more than 1. So if you buy a dog, you’re supporting this. Your cute puppy that you raise to be very happy and healthy comes with some baggage, the fact that many of its siblings suffered and/or died.
So let’s talk about working dogs. Dogs are bred to work. They’re bred to be good at specific tasks. A pointer needs to reliably point. A bloodhound needs to be able to sniff out a target. A hunting dog needs to be able to hunt. And hunting dogs, they’re expensive. Do you know why? Because they’re trained and tested, and the ones that don’t make the cut are killed.
Almost all dogs that are loved and taken care of and put to good use have their happy healthy portraits with a backdrop of dead and beaten puppies. It is a sad reality, but there’s nothing you can do about it, it’s just a consequence of the fact that dogs are born in litters. Well, nothing you can do except not have a dog. But who wants to do that? Dogs are amazing. I have two. But don’t forget, when you, a kind loving person who takes your dog to the vet every three months create demand for one, you’re creating a few other dogs who’s lives are going to be short and suck. Just about every single dog owner indirectly creates death and suffering of puppies. Look in the mirror and don’t lie to yourself. We are all puppy killers.
