People simply shouldn't buy puppies without a breeding certificate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.
But also, it's a wonderful thing for children to see the birthing of puppies, to see nature at its best when it works and to have the experience of the puppies.
There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.
When you see the horrible conditions that these animals live in, you wonder why operators of puppy mills have gone undetected for so long.
People acquire a dog, don't understand it, can't train it, get fed up, and... offer it for adoption, hoping to pass on the problem to somebody else. But nobody wants a problem dog.
Americans sometimes say to me that they have no class system themselves. All human beings have class systems. It can be based on a different thing in a different country, but the thing about breeding is, you can't buy it. You can't buy class.
Just as a puppy can be more of a challenge than a gift, so too can the holidays.
You cannot contract to sell a baby. If they legalize this contract they may soon start bringing poor women in from other countries just to be breeders.
Teach your children how to behave with animals. Adopt a pet. Don't go buy one. Please. That's a sin. Let's get these puppy mills out of business.
I'm not responsible enough to have puppies.
