Oh, for once can't we leave religion / culture out of it? It's so narrow minded. MOST puppy millers in America are NOT Amish and Mennonite, that's only true here. And why is it true here? Because most farmers in Lancaster County are Amish and Mennonite. The idea of animal as income is a farming philosophy, not a greedy one. Cows = livelihood / chickens = livelihood / etc. You see a difference between a cow or a chicken and a dog, they don't. (I hate puppy mills, because I love dogs. I also hate factory chicken enterprises, etc etc.) Just leave the prejudice out of it.

YOU KNOW WHENEVER SOME ONE TELL ME I'M PREJUDICED
THEY SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LOOK IN THE MIRROR

I HATE CHICKEN FACTORIES

You're kidding, right? They are JUST animals(???) Do you have any pets? I hope not! I can't believe I'm even commenting on such a stupid, hideous remark.

I currently have a toy poodle and you mess with her and you will be treated like a slug.

She is my "4th" child, is 13 years old has cataracts and I tear up when ever I'm talking with her (yes she understands) and thinking about her imminent death.

However, she is "just a dog". If she were in Korea she'd have been eaten by now, not much meat there but "dog-gone" tasty.

Ever see a pack of dogs in the wild, they ain't so cute and precious.

Are you sugesting that dogs are human?

Leave the dogs out of the equation and you have good logic. The very people who are concrned about dogs, (and rightly so) will claim that an unborn person is JUST a non-person.


Im suggesting that a born living creature whether they be furred, skinned or feathered deserves humane, decent treatment.

Im saying that ppl use the word, JUST to extinguish any 'wrongful' doing on their part. As a human myself who is not offended by being compared to a dog I use that analogy with no problem.

There may certainly be some people against puppy mills who are adamant 'pro lifers' as well. Thats a whole other issue deciphering when life begins.

I wouldn't want a child to spend their lifetime in a small cage where they could barely turn around with gouging eyes, open untreated sores, and so forth.

What does your last sentence have to do with anything? I'm glad you feel the way you do about your "4th" child...I understand that totally. So you DO have a heart when it comes to pets! I'm just glad you don't live in Korea!

DEAR LOVELANCO

OK LETS LEAVE RELIGION OUT OF IT
the last I heard PUPPIES in the USA are classified as MANS BEST FRIEND not FARMING ANIMALS

COWS/CHICKENS = FARM ANIMALS = LIVLEIHOOD

PUPPY MILLS = $$$$$$ = GREADY BASTARDS
