Perhaps we should send this out to those rescues that don't spay/neuter so they can see whats happening. Sadly, it's all about taking for some people.  |

Wow, thats stunning! Clearly, another person who doesn't grasp the concept of 'responsible'!
A dog isn't meant to pay for itself..... its a DOG.
What a twazzock and further proof, not that its needed, that the gene pool needs a good dose of chlorine! |

It might have been someone trying to start a row.
I prefer to think that people don't see dogs in rescue as like second hand cars - cheaper than buying new... but sadly I may be over-estimating humans...
The more I see of mankind; the more I admire dogs...

Amazing thing is we have been very clear all along that Cindy will not be homed unspayed..so what the breeding thing is all about is - in his mind she has been devalued even further!!! But then we all know second-hand dogs are pretty worthless anyway aren't they ! _________________ You can't train the terrier out of a terrier!

In all seriousness, I think laughter is the best response. It really is the 'used' car mentality and anyone who views a dog as a commodity doesn't deserve to live with one.
Incidentally, that's why the pronoun 'my' makes me shudder sometimes... 'my dog', 'my son', 'my wife' etc. I used to try to avoid it if I could and end up with interesting structures like 'the dog who lives with me' or 'the dog I live with'...
I'm sure 'the dog I lived with' had no such issues and thought the doggy equivalent of 'my human' but she didn't know humans like I do. At least doggy possessiveness is understandable. Human possessiveness and acquisitiveness is usually pretty disgusting... Dogs roll in stuff but it washes off... humans metaphorically roll in stuff and it clings!

The trouble is Xtine, that although he may just be "trolling" - there are a lot of people who think like thatout there. There are rescues that don't neuter as a matter of course - so these dogs may well end up having numberous litters. Epsom Canine took in a Sussex Bulldog some months ago. It had gone into rescue, with an agreement that she would be speyed- and rehomed. Eventually she was abandoned, and Epsom sent her for speying. Apparently she was a mass of internal scarring where she had had caesar after caesar. when this was pointed out to the original rescue, they said "well, they agreed, she must have been passed on"
