    I hope a wise theologian gets there and smacks someone upside the head with a liturgical 2 x 4!

    I was at a forum recently - and the Biblical quote about God giving people "dominion" over all His creations meant CARETAKING. The Creator made all this beautiful stuff - and it is to be nothing more than a commodity?

    ALSO - these 'breeders' are lying, misleading the public about the dogs they are getting, and the 'wholesalers' don't help. Isn't there anything in their faith that forbids lying and dishonesty? (sarcasm here)

    Since this has been brought to light, I hope all those poor dogs get POOFED and taken to sanctuary!

    ETA: I hope you cross-post all those pics...and send them to some media outlets as well!

    They have a totally different view on life...but, I will tell you, them make me want to Gack! We have Amish farms on the east side of our county and they are filled with mills. They sell to Petland...yet another HORRIBLE, AWFUL, place. I have no use the Amish. While most don't necessarily mill, they cover for those who do. If I could say I was intolerant of a group of people, it would be the Amish.


    Don't buy while shelter dogs die!!

    Oprah Winfrey is doing her 4.4.08 show about puppy mills.

    It truly is a shame things like this go on. I feel so sorry for the dogs/cats that are caught up in this so that the humans can make some $$$$

    I hate to say it, but I totally agree with you. When I moved to Indiana from Wyoming, I was fascinated by the romantic notions of the Amish. That myth was QUICKLY dispelled for me, as soon as I got involved with the local shelter, and started to learn the truth about these people and their treatment of animals. In all my years of animals rescue work, the Amish are, far and away, the worst.

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Wow. I had no idea. That is just horrible! I thought they were honorable people.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Looking at those pictures made me run for the kleenex. Amish people are not people I deal with, they get a wide berth from me. What I cannot fathom is why they aren't closed down. I abhor the way they treat their horses, and the way they haunt the auctions to get the rejects from the racetrack that could otherwise go to rehab centers and used for a multitude of better things and lead a good life.

    With all that money they could at least give the poor dogs better conditions.

    They don't feel about animals the way we do. No matter how much money they make they still wouldn't care, animals are just machines to those people.
