This makes me mad.

[molucass]

I was browsing the local on-line classifieds like I always do, and someone is offering puppies up as the "prize" for a raffle. From the way I have seen a lot of people take care of their animals in this area, I would never do something like that..
What if the person that wins is completely imcompetent to even own an animal??

Great danes are not a dog you just want to get on a whim.... The poor thing will probably be taken to the shelter once the person gets "tired" of it.

I just couldn't believe I was actually reading it right when I saw that what they were offering as the "prize".

Here is the ad.

I e-mailed them. That really angers me!

[lute]

i e-mailed them too! this is rediculous! i can't believe anyone would do such a thing! like they are an "item"! i'm so fricken pissed! maybe if enough of us send them e-mails they will stop the raffle.

*murmers under breath*i'd like to give these people a piece of my mind.

[Sevaede]

I've emailed them, as well.

[Roxyluvsme13]

That's terrible . I dunno what to say in an email, and when I get mad my feelings sometimes get out of hand.

[lute]

just write what you think should be said! we need as many e-mails as possible!

[molucass]

Did anyone get a response to their email yet?

[dab_20]

I emailed them also. How stupid of some people!

[shihtzulover850]

uh that is so dumb!!! i wish i could win the dachsund!!! At least I could give it a better home than some of them will.

[zoomer]

How dumb and idiotic those people are! UGH! I think I will email them too, but what should I say?

Yeah, ditto me me.

Take a time out to consider the positive side on this.

Yes, I know I might be in fantasy land , but, maybe this Ad was placed to attract people who genuinely want a Great Dane, or , a Dash-Hound. People who want one or the other, but, can't afford the luxury.

Hopefully, the area is not full of people who might want to make an extra buck , like, selling the dog if they win it. .

Now, if this Ad were posted in my area, I would definately buy a ticket.

I sure do hope those dogs are going to get a good home. I sense your concerns.

If I were to take the time to respond to this Ad in Question, I might ask this Organization what they did in terms of a Survey in that area.

A Dog raffle is something quite new to me. Crazy!!!!

However,

I tend to keep an open mind at all times, so, with that being said, if such an Ad irritated me, I might respond with an e-mail questioning their integrity.

a Great Dane , especially, requires an owner who understands the breed.

ditto for the Dash hound.


I hope they conducted a survey before they decided to go ahead with this "raffle", that's all I can say about that. They, ( those who placed the Ad) must be held accountable for the dogs' welfare.

I do feel this Ad is below the belt in that respect. I understand your concern for these two dogs. It is the principle involved. It is raffling off a life!!!!

I want to e-mail them to but will they be able to track my IP address or anything?

Yeah, they'll be able to see your e-mail address. If you don't want to hear what they have to say just block them from your e-mail.

I sent my e-mail and sent the link to all of my friends to send e-mails too.

[Dorothy39]

I'm certain of it. Everything posted on this site can be traced.

Take time out and think of what you will say. Keep calm when sending an e-mail when you are irritated. , confused, concerned.

You might be wondering, Is this raffle in the same catagory with "Pit Bull" dog fights? Get where I am coming from?

Find out, from this organization, what their objective really is. Money? Attracting people who love Great Danes and Dash-Hounds, ?? What is the pay off for THEM??? and for the dogs!!!! If they don't respond,
Does this Organization stand on sound principles. ?
What a mysterious Ad indeed.
