Very Interesting Article on the Amish and puppymills

What is the CTCA exactly? Until you posted this article, I've never heard of them.

They are a club promoting a specific dog breed. The club promotes this
breed and also acts as a registration site for the breed.

They seem to have a dislike for puppy millers who breed this type of dog
and sell them to pet stores. Most respected breeders of all dogs hate the
puppy mills for selling their specific breed. Can't say I blame them at all.

Amish men have to be chased off of their wives in hospital beds hours after they have just given birth because it's supposed to be "the best time". I know this having spoken with nurses in our local hospitals.

Um....they give birth at home.....

Not here they don't. They go to the hospital. Which I don't really get because supposedly they shun traditional medicine, but, trust me when I say they DO go to the hospital...they are there everytime I set foot in there.

Although I do not agree with the way this person came aout this statement, bad taste in my opinion, I do have to agree with this statement "To them, their god created all animals for exploitation, not veneration. You do not love nor can you even respect that which you are commanded to exploit."

My Saddlebred horse, was an amish Cart horse, and was very skinny, had bad feet, and bad teeth. After I got her, I was told that I should never have gotten her, simply because she had been used by the Amish, and i would regret it. Every horse person I know Will not get a horse from the Amish, becuase they are Used till they are no longer of any use, and then tossed aside. They are worked to death, and not taken care of. They are broken at an early age, and not nicely. And go lame at young age as well.
My Mare was a great mare and had beautiful manners, but you could tell she was not treated very well. Besides her outward appearance she was very headshy, as well as whip shy. If I brought a lunge whip out to excersise her, she would freak, she couldnt even stand the sight of a simple crop. I am not saying that all Amish are this way, but they are out there. Besides my own horse, I have seen many Amish throw aways, and am greatly saddened.
