Why SO many Dogs ! ?

So if U had a child that was born w/ some type of defect would kill him or her????

 

Culling is a good thing. If you are going to produce subpar dogs, then do your part & clean them up. Culling means to remove a dog from a breeding program. Whether this is by euthanesia or altering, it's a GOOD thing. You claim that pet homes are readily available. No they are not. Most people are not equipped to own a low key "pet bull", let alone a dog from working stock. Finding a quality home for a bulldog is nearly impossible. I know- I'm trying to place a little staff pup. That quote is right, death will always take care of your dogs. Would you rather have a dog go quickly, or suffer in a "pet quality" home?

I own 7 dogs at this point, with 5 more coming. I'm not a breeder- I do dog rescue. That is my reason for having so many. Many bulldog breeders keep working yards, and if they have the time/room/money, they can house as many dogs as they want.

 

And many people do just that. Cull doesn't necessarily mean "to kill". Some will spay/neuter the dog and find quality pet homes for it.

My mother got a cocker spaniel (I know, I know....) that had an underbite (fault), therefore was spayed and given to her as a pet.

 

liza my first born *was* born with a defect and she recently passed away....try calming down a little here.

 

I agree it is these dogs that weren't culled that are causing problems today. heck I just found out yesterday that my beautiful girl kasha might be deaf in one ear. she can't locate me like my mom's sheperd and my pup Anita can. If the breeder had just tested her and culled her as a pup I wouldn't be going through this heart ache. What if a child startels her and she gets scared and nips because she didn't hear him/her comming? Think of that....

 

TIP: dont start equating animals to human beings areound this crowd, you wont get too far. this isnt a PETA website.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with treating any animal as if it is livestock. animals are entitled to a few things in captivty, food, water, and shelter. there is no certain amount of love anyone should be forced to, or looked down upon for not giving. my animals are working dogs, like a working farm animal. i treat them as such.

 

Let's not compare dogs & humans here. Lest I get sick, because that's what that comparason is- sick.

 

Depends on the dog, and what I intend to use it for.

 

Culling is keeping the genetic stock strong. There is a big difference between killing for no reason and culling animals that don't live up to expectation. Culling is essential to growing your yard stronger. Why would you reproduce with inferior animals? The shelters are already full of unwanted pet animals. Sometimes a humane death is better than a life with a poor owner. A dog earns a spot on a yard, it isn't given for nothing.

So your telling me that because a dog has: ie plate face or wavy coat, or a bad bite, it doesn't have the right to Live?



Everybody has their own opinion & I'm not getting into it, I won't change my mind about it.

Like I said the ONLY reason for me to kill a dog would be if it was Mean, attacked someone, Bit a child, etc.


Best of luck to you w/ having babies

 

Ok, doesn't really answer what I asked.

 

I'm TOTALLY Fine w/ spay/neuter I'm ONLY Against people that Kill their dogs cuz they don't meet the persons special standards.

 

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

 

I would personaly cull a dog if and only if it was HA, had a genetic defect (Which it shouldn't if you were resposible with your breeding program), if the pup would suffer with skin problems for its life, if a pup was weak or had a bad heart, if the pup was unable to eat ie. cleft palate, deafness, or it had an unstable temperment. Things like that if the dog wasn't show quality but had a stable temerment and was an over all great dog I would adopt it out with a spay and neuter contract.

 

Then you are AGAINST me then.

You may never kill a dog, but people like you are killing the breed.

 

Don't compare me to PETA! I can think what I want & if I don't like something I will say it. Not starting anything, I just asked what Culling was & when I found out didn't like it.


MY opinion.

 

I'm not against ANYBODY, just stating my opinion.

I didn't start this topic, just asked what (culling) is after someone brought it up.

 

LIZA, do you even know anything about the dogs pic you are using and who bred it?

 

For one kids and dogs are NOT the same. BUT since you want to go down that road we will. A friend and I just had this discussin yesterday. If I was pregnant and found out early on that the baby would be severaly disabled and say for example be confined to a chair with a feeding tube and wearing diapers the rest of its life YES I would have an abortion. That is NO quality of life. If the child had say a slow learning disability or deformed hand or something that would NOT affect the quality of life then NO I would not terminate the pregnancy. But then again as I said DOGS AND KIDS ARE NOT THE SAME. That is apples to oranges.....

 

I'm SORRY to hear that, U didn't Kill her though.


LISTEN I'm not trying to start anything w/ ANYBODY someone ELSE brought up (culling) so I asked what is was.
