Unfortunatley this is the level of stupidity that is becoming more and more common....good for you for saying what needed to be said.Well today I had to post a rant on my neighbourhood site. It is full of wailing, hair pulling, chest beating idiots.
A woman posted to say she was distraught because she ran a rescue and she had arranged transport and handover for a pregnant dog due to give birth to 8 puppies in 5 weeks time. The dog was PTS by its cruel wicked owner and wicked wicked vet and wicked wicked wicked policeman....... I'm sure you can guess the breed. So it must have been an unregistered one not spayed with an owner who bred from her. She was 5.
People were saying how traumatic and what terrible people they were who did this. They wanted the vet and owner outed on SM.
The OP then said that the dog had an injury and had only been aggressive because she was defending her unborn puppies.
I could stand it no longer and had to say what sort of rescue breaks the law offering to rehome an unregistered pregnant XLB. I also pointed out PTS was not a terrible thing as she would not be able to be legally rehomed and nor would puppies. The rescue idiot then went on to say "she might not measure in fully as an XLB she looks a bit short but police think she is the "type" " . The injury came from fighting with the other XLB in the house that was the sire of the pups. She seems to have bitten a person as well. Both dogs have been PTS. Rescue lady wanted to keep the 8 darling little pups until they were 2 and could be measured to see if they qualified as XLB or just "types" in which case she could then rehome them!
It didn't go well when I said they weren't furbabies but potential killers with known aggressive traits in both adult dogs likely to be passed to pups. Also said years in kennels and rescue would not be conducive to producing good pets. I said PTS need not be traumatic and was in line with the law and frankly was a good outcome all round. The owner of the dogs should be prosecuted for owning unregistered dogs and breeding from them.
I am of course as wicked as the vet, the owner and the policeman. People are crying on the site!!! It;s not the dogs faults - it is the owners etc etc. Yes I know it is the bloody owners but it is also that they are illegal dogs behaving in a dangerous way and pose a threat. Oh no not if they are well treated...
I give up. I don't know why I even read it never mind said anything but I am so angry that people are up in arms that 2 aggressive dogs and 8 potential puppies are out of danger themselves and not able to put others in danger. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhg sorry for the rant.
