Yes, the way her father treated animals was cruel-but her point was for us to understand that everyone is not as knowledgeable about pets as some of us-and we should try to overlook that and give advice when asked for it-instead of judging people and criticizing them-a good example-the thread about the girl who is getting her first dog-the shih-poo- instead of offering good advice-and helping her-she got a lot of nasty remarks about the type of dog she is choosing, backyard breeders, etc., etc.
Hello-don't you get it???
I got the point of the thread. And I agree.
I am one of those that posted about the shih-poo and I don't think that I was being nasty about it, although this is the internet and it's hard to judge someone's tone from what they write. That person did get advice about house training and such, and they also got links as to what a byb is and why they are wrong so that in the future they will have learned, and maybe not choose to go that route again.
