I have to agree with you on the puppy mills. You quoted earlier about the way some behaved that you had rescued. I wonder how much inbreeding was involved.
My wife and I took in a stray when we had our farm. She was sick with a uterus infection and heartworms. We went to the expense of getting her treated and she turned out to be the best dog we ever had. She was appr. 7yo, according to the vet, when we took her in in '93. She died in 2006. She had obviously been abused by her previous owners. Anytime we made a sudden move around her she would cower. If I took the shotgun out of the truck, she would run and hide just from the sight of the gun (I also raised pecans and killed squirrels. On a pecan farm a squirrel is a no no. One squirrel will eat an average of 55 pounds of nuts per year. A pecan orchard is nirvana for them).
So you see K9 Lover, I am not cruel to all animals. Only squirrels. My wife said to add that she hates spiders.
