And sometimes with certain people it even seems animal life becomes more valuable than human life. In my opinion that is unfortunate.
The under lying message here is that it's wrong to care about puppies, it's okay to care, "just don't care so much that you might actually do something that might help the ones that are being neglected." He loves puppies, but I'm not hearing his plan on how to show some love to the ones that ain't gettin it.
This commenter gets more specific just in case you might miss his point.
Makes no sense to me. Society gets all up in arms over these "puppy mills" - yet thousands of unborn HUMAN BEINGS are slaughtered every day without a second thought.
...and..THERE IS A CULTURE WAR TO BE FOUGHT AND IF I HAVE TO USE THESE PACIFIST PEOPLE TO , TO , TO , FIGHT IT, THAT'S JUST TO DAMN BAD!
I'll worry about shutting a "puppy mill" down just as soon as the abortion clinic down the road gets shut down.
Regardless - we recently considered getting our daughter a puppy and drove around to a lot of the local breeders in my area. We probably visited a dozen Amish farms in the process - and we saw no sign of abuse whatsoever. In fact the only difference between the Amish breeders and the non-Amish breeders were that the Amish dressed funny and didn't have electricity. They were no different than the "English" families we visited who had a single litter of pups for sale. The Amish were the only folks that would guarantee their dogs and give a refund and pay any vet costs if their was a problem with the pups.
After looking at all those dogs I'm thoroughly convinced the Amish have got a bad rap with this whole puppy mill thing.
