Well, I bought my dog, who is a labrador retriever, from a breeder, and, I'm not ashamed that I did. I can certainly live with myself. I personally look at it this way, if you fall in love with an animal, give it a good home. I can't imagine where Finn would have ended up had I not taken him in. he could very well have ended up in a shelter. I've gone to shelters in the past, and, just hadn't clicked or connected with any dog, including several labradors. Yeah, ideally, in a perfect world, we would not even have to worry about shelter animals. But, in my opinion, as long as you get the pet you want and give it the best life you possibly can, that's what's the most important part. In a perfect world, again, everyone would do a lot differently, including people who rescue animals from shelters. There are millions of animals that die horrible deaths so that we may eat them, and, I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the strongly opinionated people looking down on those that buy from breeders chow down on animal flesh just as often as I do. I don't drink cow's milk, and, hardly eat red meat, but, I still eat chicken, cheese, eggs...etc. I just don't think it's appropriate to say truly hateful things about people that don't have rescue pets. Sorry if that was a little confusing, it's late.
