A Chance to Speak Out About BYB's and Mills

Off Topic
  • tashaT

    This is a PERFECT opportunity to communicate the horrors of BYB's and puppy mills. This is a great group of people that have a lot to say about this topic. Unfortunately most of the time dog forums are our only venue. Now we can give our opinions and tell our stories where people who don't know will see them.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE post. If we can keep one person out of a place like this it will make a difference. Let those who don't know hear your voice.

    @curlytails: A large commercial breeder in Quebec was raided over the weekend, and over 500 dogs were confiscated. The breeder is Paws R Us, which previously proudly called itself the largest commercial breeder in Canada. There will always be a problem out there when the mentality is "bigger/volume is better". Just this weekend we met a young guy who proudly said that his dog was one of 12 in the litter, and that there were lots of other dogs 'there' (at the BYB) and because of that he got his 'purebred' black lab for only $75. I cringed and could almost visualize the horrible situation the dogs were in. We need to keep getting across to people that BYBs who do not care about anything other than $$ need to be put out of business.

    And to continue the Fopaw's theme here…. Kobey (Emerant Fopaw TriWizard At Tanza) had his very first Novice Rally shows yesterday and today. Yesterday he scored a 95 and 4th place for his first Rally Leg... today, he scored 98 and 1st place for his second Rally leg... Pass along my HI to Kevin... and tell him to give Therese a hug for me!!!!

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:
