Many of us responsible fanciers and breeders are becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of public understanding about canine animal rights legislation on dog breeding and ownership. While clubs and dog breeders will often communicate among ourselves on these issues, we do not always take the initiative to talk with the general public.
No one supports neglect or abuse of animals, please be advised that animal rights activist call all dog breeders (standard or sub-standard) “p**py m**ls” to garner support for fundraising legislative efforts to put all dog breeders out of business. We are all aware of the presence of sub-standard kennels/breeders. We do not need more legislations, simply enforce current anti-cruelty animal laws that already exist.
The term “p**py m**l” is a derogatory word, that is no more acceptable than using slur names for those of different ethnic backgrounds or sexual orientations. There is no legal definition for the term coined by animal rights activist. The name calling is a means to turn the public against all dog breeders.
When buying/adopting your next puppy/dog, use common sense. One can buy/adopt a healthy puppy/dog from a dog breeder, pet store, rescue organization, or (non-affiliated or affiliated animal rights group) shelter at their location or website. One can also buy/adopt an unhealthy puppy/dog from a dog breeder, pet store, rescue organization, or (non-affiliated or affiliated animal rights group) shelter at their location or website. First off, do your homework. Spend enough time learning what breed or animal will work well with you and/or your family. The more you know about every aspect of the animal the better off you will be when you are ready to purchase/adopt. When you are ready, find a responsible and well-respected breeder or organization. Examine the puppy/dog to ensure that they have been properly groomed and cared for. Ask yourself how does the puppy/dog look, feel, smell, sound, and behave. Is the puppy/dog current on vaccinations and de-worming. If you are on the internet, ask for current pictures or something particular you want within reason. Like asking them to take a picture with your name and date on it. Is the dog breeder/organization inspected? If so.....by whom? Is the dog breeder/organization in good standing with local and state clubs? Does the dog breeder/organization have a working relationship with a veterinarian? If so.....who is the doctor? Ask lots of questions; we all know there are no stupid questions. Again if you are on the internet, always call before making your final decision and if you want, ask for references. Also keep in mind that this is not the time to hunt for a bargain. Responsible breeders have invested in quality animals and quality care. Your new addition will be a member of your family for his/her lifetime, so you’ll want to make a wise investment. Also evaluate your budget: asking if you really can afford a dog and all that comes with him/her. Dog Ownership = Responsibility.
When donating we implore you, be it time, money, or both, that you donate to your local “no kill” organizations. Local “no kill” organizations are the ones who are doing the real work of helping animals that have been abandoned or surrendered. Many of these big name state/national/world groups do not do the hands on work in helping animals. Many of the funds that they receive are used to excessively pay executives and pension plans, campaign contributions, lobbying, and propaganda to take away our rights for responsible ownership of animals.
The day when animals have rights is the day you and I will not have rights to own animals.
