Dogs
All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

You are missing the point i was making. That shiti article glosses over the crimes committed by breeders and buyers while attempting to socialize the risk and negative externalities on the general public. You should do more to save the animals, this is tour problem
Same way corps do, which was my original premise for comprison.
No, breeders and buyers either need to be taxed out of existence or just outright banned.
You want a dog, go to shelter and pay for it. Fuck you and your stupid hobby that's causing suffering along with huge financial costs to society at large.
Sorry for misreading your posts.
