You keep making the same points, to my same responses and, absurdly, accusing me of following the media machine's narrative. It is a lame insult, especially to someone like me that doesn't fall into that garbage and often points it out, even when it is a conservative outlet doing it. Noem's stated actions and her own words, without any commentary, did not go over well with a lot of people. This is a country of dog lovers and a tremendous effort in animal rescue. No one needs to attack Noem's character, she's doing it all by herself. The best thing the liberals could have done was shut up. If your opponent is digging their own grave, don't grab the shovel.
Do you know the exact area she was living in when she killed her 14 month old canine? And, weight has nothing to do with whether a dog is still viewed as a pup. As I said earlier, I've got a 65 pound 10 month old pup. Before that I fostered a great pyrenees pup that was about the same age and even bigger. But, you are getting lost in the term pup. The facts speak for themselves regardless of when you believe pups become dogs. Do I need to keep repeating myself? You are getting lost in the minutia.
As far as people are looking for a pet not a project, that is not always true. This coming from someone who doesn't like to hear the mantra of "Adopt don't shop." People are making a big commitment when taking in a dog. Not everyone is equipped for a rescue. But, many are. For example, both Michelle Lacy and my daughter adopt elderly dogs. They know full well they often come with health problems, such as not being able to hold their bladder. Between my niece and I, we have both taken in 3 dogs with aggression problems over the years. We both knew what we were getting into and had as much background on the dogs as possible. They were all beautiful success stories. It isn't always like that but people know going in. One of these dogs was a 6 month old, very big German Shepherd who had never been socialized. We are far from the only ones. I see it all of the time volunteering in animal rescue. Not a lot of people would have had the time, patience and financial resources to bring the 5 week old Boston Terrier puppy through her health ordeal and the short lived but very difficult behavior issues that came from it. Today, she is a happy, healthy 5 year old dog and is the best "Project" I ever brought into my life. There are fosters who specialize in dogs and cats that have issues due to abuse or neglect. So, who are you to declare what people want when you have no experience with rescue?
And, I'm certainly not trying to stifle communication. You are free to say whatever you want. But, when you insult me with the MSM BS, I'm not going to keep responding. I don't like to be insulted with falsehoods and I don't like to be responding to the same points over and over and over again. Gesh, I get that from Ted enough.
And, what is the article about "Losing Lulu?' It has incredibly small, light print that is difficult to read, is ungodly wordy and someone's opinion. Again, I get enough of that from Ted. Make your own points instead of finding random articles and videos you found on the internet, trying to make a point you don't really have the education or experience to understand.
