Well then It looks like I'm putting in my application for a good swift kick in the pants!

I agree with those that have expressed the opinion that you are enabling these people to continue with the abuse of this puppy's mother. I can just see their way of thinking. "she's going to have puppies again. No big deal, we'll call molucass, she'll take the puppies and we won't have to worry about a thing."

Not all rescuers see things from the same point of view. Neither viewpoint is perfect! There are millions of pets out there that have already known love and have been abandoned to die on the streets and in shelters.

When puppies and kittens are born they know nothing of life, love and happiness for the first few days. That's the time to let them go rather than to add them to the millions already desperatly in need of new homes and loving families. Thousands of rescuers raise entire unwanted litters dumped by uncaring owners every year which tremendously adds to the pet overpopulation problem.

These careless unwanted litters are a direct cause of the millions of shelter deaths of dogs that are no longer cute cuddly puppies.

There is no right or wrong answer. We all need to do the math and look at the entire picture before making such decisions.
