Lilymae Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hi, I am brand new here but am looking for some help and advice. There is a facebook page that is just an online puppy farm. It is sooooooo sad! A friend was kicked off for trying to help someone understand why his 4 bitches all in came in season together and that he didn't have to mate them just because his fiance said they can't desex them all at once. My friend told him that the bitches will probably always come into season at the same time so that he can work out how to deal with it in the future. She also said that because they were in season they didn't need to be mated Admin contacted her and said if she wasn't going to help him find a stud for his bitch then she can't comment. It's not my town, but they must be complete rednecks up there ! The sad thing is that Admin only want to protect the puppy farmers! They say that they want to do the right thing legally but they don't care about the poor dogs!. If anyone tries to provide info about how to treat the animals responsibly their comments get removed by Admin. Only people looking for studs and bitches for their unregistered, unhealth checked, crossbreds are allowed to post! It's so so so sad. There are photos of people's dogs that they are breeding from that are in less than good condition. Pictures of puppies hanging off scrawny course coated bitches in the dirt are kept on so that people can sell their puppies, so they can do it all over again. Admin keeps posting that the DPI and Local laws officers are watching the page, so people have to provide microchip numbers. I hope the DPI and LL guys step in soon and take some action! This needs to change! Admin are in waaaaay over their heads on this and don't have a clue. Please go to the page ask to join and make comments. Your comments will be probably be deleted by admin but they can't delete hundreds every minute. In the short time that your comment is up, someone might learn something, someone might start to think differently, someone's poor poor dog might be better off I am not sure if I can paste the link here or not- I haven't read all the rules yet. If I can can someone let me know please? Otherwise PM me and I will provide the link to the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilymae Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hi.... no links would be the best plan... Thank you- It's so sad that no one is allowed to help the owners and the other 1500+ people in the group to learn how to look after their pets! Doesn't anyone care about the animals anymore??

Lilymae Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Do you think I should say the name of the group here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 definitely not bitches will often cycle together, yes...and there are lots of money making, small minded folks out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Doesn't anyone care about the animals anymore?? lots of people do ...and there is no doubt lots of work done behind the scenes .... IMO, publicising, only helps 'them'. What;s that quote? any publicity is good publicity? "( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Agree with persephone. Unfortunately, puppy farms are not actually illegal, either. So apart from educating as many people as you can (and you're preaching to the choir here!) there's not much that you can do about it I completely understand how frustrating and angry you feel though, I spend so much time being disgusted at the things people can do, and try and focus on what I can do to educate people about what's happening, and how to avoid supporting dodgy breeders.

Terujo Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Haha!! I know who your friend is!!! :-) Your friend also got an apology from admin today saying they were a little overzealous by deleting posts and members ( there were at least two that I know of) and were sick of being swamped with PM's saying that they (BYB's) didn't like not being free to make their comments without having to justify themselves. I guess they thought the 'easy way around it' was to gag the questioners to stop the whingers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
