Re: [Sashan] What do you think of this sweeping statement? "Don't Breed or Buy while Shelter Animals Die!"

You're correct. Many people buy dogs impulsively & majority of them are the ones who are contributing to the problem of homeless animals in shelters & in the streets. They will dump their dogs when they're sick & tired of them or when they can't afford to pay their medical bills or when they finally realized that dogs actually GROW UP into adults & will no longer look adorable like they used to when they were just "wittle" pups. These people don't realize that owning an animal is a big, lifetime commitment & they cost a lot of money just like when you raise a human child. To anybody who's thinking of getting a new puppy, BEFORE you 'flash your plastic', you need to think 1st about what's going to happen when you bring that puppy home. What's going to happen 10 minutes after you place that puppy down inside your house. I guarantee you 100%, problems are going to start immediately! The puppy is going to crap on your expenssive carpet, walk all over the place to sniff sniff sniff, then maybe chew a wire, a few minutes later, it urinates in a corner, then it finds something else to chew, then it plays in its water bowl & steps all over the house all dripping wet, leaving the floor & carpet all soaked, it urinates again on your expenssive carpet & it goes on & on. You get fed up with it, you throw it in it's crate or playpen. It starts screaming, demanding you to let it out. What are you going to do? Same thing like for a 1-2 year old child, imagine the child not wearing pampers, walking all over the place or is in his cot, crying, screaming, yelling at the top of his lungs & defecating, putting things in his mouth including his own poop & he can't convey a single thing you're trying to say to him. What are you going to do? There will always be sh*tting, peeing, bathing, cleaning, feeding, walking, exercising, training, grooming, medical attention, etc etc etc for the next 10-18 years! These are things that you have to be prepared for BEFORE you decide to bring a puppy home. You must already plan out on what to do when these problems arise. No point complaining that the puppy is making too much mess or too much noise, well because, that's what all puppies do! Owners will dump these dogs because to them, they are too problematic. This is the reason why there are SO many abandoned pets in shelters. "Multi BIS (local) GreatGrowkenn Agnes CGC" is ranked #5 (all-breed) in Best Malaysian Bred Dog Of The Year 2010"
