(15,882 posts)who may not know any better. As for the others you mentioned, I don't vent. I transport adopted dogs, help owners with other matters, organized a spay/neuter event in which we brought together a small town of people who couldn't afford other alternative and we "fixed" 140 animals in a weekend at no cost to the owners. And a few other things that actually work to solve the problem, not make it worse.
All while other people buy dogs from dealers, perpetuating the problem. Because 25% of the dogs in shelters are these precious little pure-breds people pay money for.
I don't just sit around and make excuses for people to avoid responsibility.
I suspect were I to try and make an argument that, say because, say, the Koch Bros donate to their church on Sunday that somehow has an impact on all their other "activities. I am presuming you would tell me those are completely unrelated. Because they are.
Suggesting that someone donating to a shelter while perpetuating the problem that creates the need for shelters makes no more sense. I don't care if it's the POTUS or Roger my next door neighbor.
Nothing new, I've heard it all before.
