6pack 60 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I've not been posting on site for a while. But as well as Doglost- I run my own rescue. 12 months ago we may have seen a couple of lurchers or working dogs a month- coming through the pound. Now its every week, saluki x, collie/grey x, greys - now all these dogs belong to some one- they dont just 'appear' from nowhere. I see all the STOLEN/MISSING threads. Terriers, Patterdales Yet even when these dogs are plastered all over Doglost & we are telling you they have been found- no one claims them - WHY??? Sorry but I do think dogs are been overbred & if you are going to work your dog & then had enough of it - then do the right thing by it. Its served you by giving you your fun. We have just caught after 6 weeks f trying a saluki x male thats injured. Someone WATCHED a bloke throw a greyhound into a canal- its made it to a patch of reeds but we cannot get to it as canal drained. Thats blatant cruelty. I have some good friends that work their dogs- but I also know others that I wouldnt give a goldfish to - that wouldnt think twice bout dumping dog & then just go get another 'Free to Good Home' Think before you breed- if you havent got homes lined up then dont bother. It's the rescues and others that are picking up the pieces. Added to picking up the pieces is the mentality that that is what rescues are for, as if owners have a right to count on rescues to clear up for them. I wish some owners would show the same level of loyalty the dogs do. And being disgusted and horrified at images such as these.... Jack does not make a fluffy pet owners or an anti, nor a PETA supporter, but just how much is a dogs life worth to some? Why are many rescues against new owners working their dogs? Because they see all too often the aftermath when a dog is no longer of use. They watch the coming and going of new fads, hence so many bullxs in rescue, and see DAILY how disposable mans best friend is. A little thought from a minority would make a huge difference. Hear, hear. I posted a link to the images of Jack in another THL thread concerning cruelty, and so far it's drawn no comments at all... i saw that and was saddened by it, forgot to post anything..... meant to post, guess i was distracted by facebook. Way to prove a point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
