47. I applaud their efforts, I would NEVER get an animal from a breeder. There are too many out there tin the shelters that need our love.

48. Also, let's not forget PETA was one of the first, if not first organization to bring the Michael Vick dogfighting news to the attention of the public. They were the first to organize protests and petitions to suspend Michael Vick from the NFL and repeatedly made requests to Nike that they sever all future deals with this cruel animal abuser. The NFL has banded him from trainingcamp & Nike eventually suspended his contract with no pay after Peta threatened to protest at each of their Niketowns. And PETA has no intention of letting up the pressure on Vick or any company still associated with him. I applaud PETA for acting in the face of ignorance and many people who still have a narrow minded view od how we should treat other living creatures on this planet.

49. What happened to the ignorance meter of TMZ's commenting readers today, it's off the charts.

Hey geniuses, there's an overpopulation CRISIS of dogs and cats--you buy from a pet store and you support the puppy mill wackjobs who force the poor mother of your "adorable" new little chihuahua to remain in a tiny hutch her whole life, only being let out or receiving attention when she's raped to produce her 35th littler of puppies. They only use each mother dog for 3-4 years and then wheat do you think happens to them?

THINK BEYOND YOUR LITTLE BOX PEOPLE.

51. Wait just a darn minute!!! parass is a breeder and she made a tape of the breeding. Take that PETA!!!!!!!!

52. GINA - I got my purebred Bassett from a bassett and king cavalier breeder here in Northern California. They are Christians and do not treat their dogs that way...I've been to their ranch on numerous occasions. Lumping ALL breeders together into one category is JUST as ignorant you proclaim all us non-PETA people to be!

53. Furthermore, if you support that kind of cruelty you best not moan about psychos like Michael Vick--your "freedom to buy whatever dog I want to show off" attitude causes the deaths of millions of cats and dogs each year, many in ways just as cruel. And yes, people who actually care about the animals have to do the euthanizing for your dirty little selves, because unlike you, they know that humane euthanasia is a far better option than the alternative for unwanted animals--being cruelly killed by psychos on the street or gassed slowly to death in underfunded shelters--or perhaps worst of all, left to go slowly insane and die a slow death over the course of TEN YEARS or more caged up in a tiny little cell or run in a warehouse somewhere. What do you think "no kill" shelters do with unadoptable dogs? Oh yeah, a life in a room full of the loud screaming and crying of other suffering animals that are also cramped in a cage 24/7 every moment of their lives--it never stops--driving them crazy until they chew their own limbs off--you guys are SO humane by espousing that belief. Out of sight out of mind only means you pretend like just because they're still alive you've done the right thing. Breathing isn't necessarily life. There are far more animals then there are homes already.

STOP BUYING FROM PET STORES SO THEY STOP BREEDING MORE ANIMALS. Think about it.

54. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH PET STORES IS THAT THESE DOGS COME FROM PUPPY MILLS. THEY ARE BRED OVER AND OVER WITH NO REST AND THEY HAVE HEALTH ISSUES DUE TO IMPROPER BREEDING. NOT TO MENTION, THEY RIP YOU OFF FOR A POTENTIALLY UNHEALTHY ANIMAL THAT'S LOCKED UP IN A CAGE. I'VE BOUGHT FROM BREEDERS AND THEY HAVE THE ANIMALS RUNNING FREELY IN THEIR HOMES WITH FRESH FOOD AND WATER AND LOVE. THEY ALSO GIVE THE MOM A BREAK FROM PREGNANCY UNLIKE THE PUPPY MILLS WHO CONTINUALLY BREED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EXHAUSTING THE POOR MOM AND BY TREATING HER LIKE A PUPPY MACHINE. IF YOU WANT A PURE BREED, LOOK FOR THEM ON THE INTERNET OR NEWSPAPER FOR A RESPECTABLE BREEDER.

55. HALEY "genius" - We've got an overpopulation "crisis" among humans too! Should we spay and neuter every human as well?!?! Your logic is asinine.

Posted at 7:38PM on Aug 2nd 2007 by KT

56. HALEY - Just because of your retarded posts, I'm going to go out and buy 10 more purebreeds and NOT NEUTER THEM! Eat your heart out!

Posted at 7:40PM on Aug 2nd 2007 by KT

57. Hey KT my comment seemed to upset you. Does the truth hurt, I think I hit a nerve and you don't like the fact that I'm right. I don't make it a habit to argue back and forth on the boards with the braindead. But I'll say one more time that there are no responsible breeders, because if they were informed of the sad conditions of animal shelters and with the statistics of runaway & dumped homeless animals left to starve and die they would not be adding to the problem. Because intentionally are not, they definatly add to the overpopulation. I guarantee not all of the animals sold from these so called breeders wind up in good homes and many will be discarded by dumping or dropped off at shelters.

58. KT, s/he who can't parse sentences together well enough to formulate a response more meaningful than "genius" but can take the time to look up "asinine" in a (I assume online) thesaurus:

Newsflash: people already spay and neuter themselves either through surgery or the various types of birth control available now (moot point), and those who don't aren't FORCED into reproducing. We're not born from rape and sold so someone can love us while we're babies only to dump us out in the country when we grow into an adult. We no longer discriminate against humans based on their "breed," allowing some to languish in tiny cages for years while others are sold for $4000+. Furthermore, humans weren't bred over hundreds of years to be subservient and completely dependent on another species, which is exactly what we've done to domesticated animals. Humans can take care of themselves, domesticated animals rely on humans to survive--a position we've put them in. Dog and cat overpopulation crisis with not enough humans to care for the animals = a whole lot of suffering.

59. GINA "Peta" Member - I assure you, I'm not braindead. And yes, you guys did hit a nerve when you supported a bill that took away pet owners' rights. Aren't all you liberals all for peoples' RIGHTS? Just as you don't agree with people buying pets purebreed, I think that you should go find a more important cause...you know, one that affects HUMANS!? There are plenty of them suffering in the world but all you guys spend your energy on is protecting furry little pets. Sorry if that "offends" you, but I happen to think human life holds a little more value than "Fido's"...

60. Oh, don't ever diss PETA. They are way too radical at times, but they always, ALWAYS, have the best interests of animals at heart. And if you think animal neglect/abuse isn't that big a deal, think again. People who start off abusing animals will often go on to bigger and better things--namely CHILD ABUSE.
