Sue, please don't hurt yourself when you fall off your high horse.
From by products from animals processed for FOOD for human consumption.
Dogs are NOT food for humans.
So this inference is it's OK to be cruel to livestock. Read between the lines. Terryallen is referring to leather, in case you need it spelled out. And yes dogs ARE fit for human consumption. Not in our country but in others. We find it offensive, but then when you are enjoying a big, juicy steak or a hamburger remember where it came from, and remember someone who follows the Hindu faith would think you are the scum of the earth.
Read Terryallen's post again. Comments are spot on. And there is a statement about not being cruel to animals.
Dogs are dogs. Humans are humans. They are NOT on the same level. I am not advocating negligence, cruelty or anything of that nature. The daughter bought the dogs as a business venture. Somewhat misguided, agreed, but none-the-less even REAL breeders divest themselves of animals that don't produce. And yes, sometimes it takes a few tries for a good breeder to get it right.
