YES! I've never mentioned it on here because it upsets me too much, but I know how you feel.

I know people like that. (I wouldn't really call them friends, actually I can't stand them.) (The woman's parents are my in-laws' best friends.) They refuse to spay and neuter their dogs (you have no idea the discussions my sister and I have had with these people) they simply won't listen to anything
you say. The couple has been married about 4 years and in that time they have had so many dogs. They had 2 pit bulls which had puppies. In addition to the 2 pit bulls they had they kept a puppy. They live on 1/4 acre and those 3 pitties got 1/2 of their tiny back yard. They were never in the house. I don't know what happened to those 3 dogs, I honestly was afraid to ask. They all of the sudden didn't have the pits, but did have 2 rottweilers (in the same small yard that the pits were in). They still have them, but who knows for how long.

They had a dachshund that died after being dropped and breaking it's neck. Earlier this year they got a schnauzer from a pet store. They had him for few months before getting another dachshund puppy. Shortly after getting the dachshund they decided they were going to sell the schnauzer. They said before they could sell him he "ran away". The dachshund puppy was the Sweetest little thing in the world and after the schnauzer incident my sister tried to convince them that they shouldn't have dogs. My sister offered to buy the dachshund puppy from them, but they wouldn't sell. A couple weeks ago the puppy died after getting into some rat poison that the woman's husband left sitting out. I can't believe how irresponsible they are to even have rat poison at their house, not only do they have dogs, but that also have 2 little kids. If a tiny little dachshund could reach that poison then the kids could have too.

I truly cannot stand to be anywhere near those people. We also have non-animal related conflicts with the rest of that family (The woman's parents and 2 brothers).
