NATIONAL RESCUE DOG DAY - California bans pet stores from selling non-"rescues"

I've rescued a few dogs myself--but I will NEVER get one from a scumbag shelter.

Fucking NAZIS is what they are!

What I see, and may be the point of the thread,
is that the SJW's, et al, have used the RESCUE DOG
as claimed Status symbol.

"I'm better than you, I have a rescue dog"
Not spoken but implied like a skillet in the face.

What a self righteous crock of doggy poo poo.

Most of us have dogs, pure, mutts, saved, rescued, etc.,
but we never call our dog a RESCUE for the perceived
brownie points.

Humans bring trouble. Dogs Bring peace.

What do you boomers have against dogs?

You sound like muslims.

I struck a nerve, not being a dentist, but with truth.

this is one of the biggest liberal shibboleths out there, and it hurts to learn the truth...

here, have some novocaine with your rant.

no one sounds like a muslime except another muslime. That is a given since they all sound the same.

my avatar is from a family that breeds Bichons on the Delmarva Peninsula. A wonderful home environment.

by liberal logic, puppy mills are great... get the dog pre-abused so it can "rescued" at six weeks!

THIS.

Is this how you want to spend your time? Internet or elsewhere? Shaming people who choose to save animals rather than spend obscene amounts of money to buy one from a breeder? How you come by owning an animal does not matter, its how you care for it after that, that does. This thread and your post just flips the proposition and then assumes moral high ground. Slap that "liberal / millenial" verbage on it and you got yourself a bona fide cause and a couple of stalwart GLP supporters ( who only saw the trigger words)

Who cares if these dogs get a day especially for them? At best it brings attention to a real problem and animals in need and at worst, people use to glorify themselves / put themselves above others who choose not to do the same. This is hardly a "liberal" issue. If it bugs you.. i get it. Its annoying as is much of the internet / opinions that aren't ours. I suggest ignoring these people. Does wonders.

Also... What real impact does this have on your life? Would your day be ruined by a few extra pups being rescued? Even if accompanied by self aggrandizing posts from the adopting human, its worth it. and as always, you have the option to disregard and ignore.

My true take is that you feel bitter at the inability to celebrate your furry friend in a way that's special like this. Like somehow people have besmirched your pets existence as less than because he wasn't a rescue. THESE are feelings YOU bring to the table, no one else made you bring them, just YOU. Evaluate your values, and how it is you choose to spend your time.

Breeders also dump at shelters, or let their undesirables loose for animal control to pick up and euthanize. Way to add to the problem. Let me guess, you charge about $1,200?

becuz we can demonize men with them. simple to answer.

Most of the dogs in shelters come from breeders. Breeder don't care much about dogs, just their bottom line.

My Mom went to a shelter once,
and they wanted to do a "home visit"
to prove she was worthy of one of their mutts.

She will never go to one again, either.

And an abused dog?

Another shitbag muzz who hates dogs.

I bought my dog, did not breed her. Would have been wonderful to have that experience in life, but I have not yet bred a dog.

we all know the real solution in the liberal mind: No dogs. That is what some groups are already advocating for horses.

if only they benefited from this, it would be great. Alas, dogs do not run the "non-profits" and foundations that will, indeed, benefit with higher donations.

while the shelters themselves go begging for old towels for the dogs to sleep on.

when people who want to buy a dog from a shelter are turned away, we see the real agenda is not placing dogs at all.

There should be plenty of pet abortion clinics so the alley cats and stray dogs of the world can stop filling the streets with more unwanted fur babies.

Liberals are a hive mind

they need their rituals and beliefs... woe to the ones who see through it!

much better to let your child be bitten by a rescue than to get a puppy you raise right

If I had to choose between misappropriation of funds, and no special recognition of the animals in need, I go with the latter all day.

Why? I guess I just love supporting liberal agendas! (sarcasm)

Enhanced recognition of an issue does no harm, if a dollar makes its way to even marginal good use on the abused animals behalf, while the rest lines the pockets of greedy people, i am for it. One dollar they wouldn't have had otherwise.

I really don't know what charitable organization or non profit you can point at that generally does not suffer from some sort of financial abuse or misappropriation. Fact is we generally aren't in a position to do anything about it.

Something is better than nothing.

the human equivalent of the "rescue" dog craze is the bias against couples having their own child instead of adopting a brown or black baby

"There are already so many children in the world who need a home! Why breed your own?"


oh, the guilt they try to lay on you for wanting your own child.

Oh yea buddy. "Someone disagrees with me so must mean I struck a nerve and that they're a liberal dur dur". You've got your head so far up your ass, it's no wonder all that comes from your brain is pure shit. You're just another one of those toolbags that makes EVERYTHING political. It's insufferable and exactly what liberals do. Not to mention that you're just flat out uneducated on what you're trying to talk about. MAYBE 5% of people who adopt rescue dogs (because they aren't the rescuers) use the whole "oh here's my rescue dog" bit to try to paint themselves in a certain light. It's probably less. Like I said, you're uninformed/uneducated on the topic. What did you bump into one person that did this? Two? Get a grip. How about go down to your local rescue, volunteer, and then MAYBE you'll get an actual idea of the people and what goes on and then you'd actually be able to make an informed statement that isn't generalizing and idiotic. Imagine that?

*See head up ass comment to understand emphasis on maybe*

the best solution is prevention. do not feed the "non-profits" and foundations - are you naïve enough to believe they want to end the problem they are getting rich off of?

that is like believing oncologists really want to cure cancer.

nope, they want to grow rich off it.

you are right, almost all "charitable" organizations are greedy cocksuckers.

be careful where you donate, better yet, do not donate at all.

the solution is not there.

All my dogs were rescues, and they were wonderful.

I volunteered at a shelter. And no, we didn't give a dog to everyone and when we didn't we had good reason. And they required home visits for anyone wanting to adopt a pit bull, because they were often wanted by a criminal element.

I had young men ask me how tough the dog was.

I had a woman bring a dog in because she got new furniture and the dog didn't match and she wanted to adopt one that did.

One was of a certain religion where the man was wearing shorts on a hot summer day, and his wife was dressed in a black shroud with only a screen for her eyes. And I questioned how he would treat a dog if he treated his wife that way.

One was a very domineering man who yelled at the dog.

Etc.

It's about what is best for the dog, and not the prospective owner's ego.

Oh, and we didn't adopt black animals out around Halloween for obvious reasons.

thank you for confirming what I said.

A purebred is as good as a rescue, often better. Especially if bred to do a particular job.

All dogs deserve a good owner.

not just "rescues"

I agree with that statement. But I will always get a rescue for many reasons.
