toy dog Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) I think the short answer to the 'well we breed cows and chickens that way' is to make the point that we don't expect cows and chickens to live with us in our houses and our 'human' lives. A puppy raised with little to no socialisation will not be fitting in well with the kind of 'human' life destined for them. yes that is what i told the stupid ninny. i tend to lose the meaning in things i want to say because i get carried away with long paras. but she still went on with sometimes cows have names too by the farmer and they all have feelings. so?????? and the buck stops with the consumer buying these dogs from the petshops in the first place, if people didn't buy meat then we wouldn't even have to have farms too. ;) so i quickly put in the buck stops with you guys not continuing to approve these large farms, don't you think if we didn't have these farms people wouldn't be going to petshop to get an ill-suited pet that eventually might be dumped????? its like hello, what planet are you from lady????? lol sometimes there is no telling a person that only sees dollar signs. in one sentence she said that she opposes dog farms in the next she said that she understands it is just animal agriculture and farming and to have emotion for the animals isn't good, so you have to remove the emotion! yes like the farmers i think they have gone through an operation to remove their brains! i read out the email to my mother and we spent the afternoon laughing our heads off at this lady councillor, my mother said that maybe this lady has cows in her bed and in her house! what a lot of crock this woman was going on with. she really sounded like she is un-educated and not really in-tune with society issues. Like the rest of them, very similar to another councillor's views too. where would you go to get a puppy if we eliminate these farms he said, people would have to go underground, how ridiculous ;) so ofcourse i spent my time explaining to him where you go for a puppy. they can't make the connection between 1500 pups produced to overpopulation in shelters. don't want to know, don't care basically. these are the attitudes we are dealing with for some reason they always answer me, im told they ignore most of the people that write to them complaining about these farms. i will never give up and neither will my mother trying to educate people down there. bit hard for me im in melbourne but my mother lives down in this area.

ncarter Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The Pets Paradise in Garden City has closed down. I was in the shopping centre yesterday and just happened to walk past. The sign on the door doesn't say why, just that it is closed. So I'm wondering why? It's great that it is closed but maybe they got parvo or something? yeah i noticed that too BB, any idea why?

That wouldn't stop them, my guess is they were not making enough money or they did something to #*%@ off the big guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ark Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I would make a new poster saying something along the lines of "PETSHOP PUPPIES = Quantity before quality" or something and slap it over top of it. Like your style, Parkeyre!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleuri Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Off topic- there is a pet shop advertising a specific breed of dog for sale on the trading post (it's not Pets Paradise). I happen to come across the exact same picture or these dogs on YouTube. Looks like someone couldn’t bother to take a real photo of the dogs and decided to reap it off instead. (Unless the photo comes from the same source but I doubt it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
