Just wondering if anyone else. . .
« on: July 14, 2015, 01:54:03 PM »
Does anyone else ever get the feeling that people are keeping animals with severe birth defects alive just to get the Internet attention?

Sometimes I really do. Just a couple of decades ago, people wouldn't have taken this on or made the puppy go through it all. I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying that things have changed a WHOLE lot with the creation of the Internet, and I'm not always certain it's been a change for the good.

I don't know Dee.  I just don't. I've never been able to form an opinion about things like this, regarding animals.
