Backyard Breeders (AKA BYBs)

BYBs just means Backyard Breeders. Backyard breeders are people who don't breed animals unprofessionally and not properly. Many backyard breeders start like this...basically: "Hmm, I want to start breeding dogs..." *looks up dog breed* "I think I like dobermans." *gets female pregnant* "Uh... omg, what do I do! She's panting-is she going into labor? What is THAT?! Something is wrong... I think." *goes on Yahoo! Answer-Types: My dog is giviinng brth and idk somtihing is wrong wit her! Wat do I du?*-answers-*What is wrong with you? I hate you BYBs.*-*Get her to the vet! Next time-spay your dang dogs!*-*FREAK BYBS YOU NEED TO CALL THE VET AND GET YOUR DOG FIXED OMG!* "Okay... uh... the baby isn't moving I don't know I need to call the vet."

3 weeks later

"Anybody want to buy dogs? Eh... what do I do with it-them. Where did it go? Oh, under the couch." *grabs puppy* "Hey, wanna buy a dog?" *old lady* "Why how much is it?"-guy-"I'll give you one-five hundred dollars." "Okay!" "Anybody wanna dog?

1 day later

"Okay, can you just take these dogs? I don't want them."

__________________________________________

Sometimes BYBs aren't bad. Some are informed, but don't bother to think that BYBs only put dogs in shelters. Some people breed dogs because they just need the money, when yet they don't think that there are other ways (which there are) to get money. We need to think about the animals-we really do. Not ourselves.

Spay and neuter.

Leave the breeding to the breeders.

Exxon Valdez Oil Spill: how much wildlife was lost

This may not have to do with animal cruelty but I felt like I really needed to tell everyone...
I was reading about The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (that happened in 1989). I thought it was interesting so I read on. Then I saw what was estimated for the loss of wildlife...

Sea birds: 250,000
Sea otters: 2,800
Harbor seals: 300
Bald eagles: 250
Killer whales: 22
Salmon and herring eggs: trillions

I just can't beleive that, can you?

Yahoo! Answers-now THIS is cruelty!

I was answering animal questions on Yahoo! Answers, when this came up:

What is a Humane Way to Kill Kittens?

A stray pregnant female continues to spawn kittens (I cannot catch her to have her spayed). The last time she had a litter, I had no other choice than to kill them. My first attempt involved placing them in a cardboard box, and running a garden hose affixed to my vehicles exhaust into it. I assumed they would fall asleep and not wake-up, however, after 30 minutes of exhaust, I opened the box, only to find them huddled around the warm exhaust hose. Unfortunately, I believe I was only successful in rendering them mentally retarded, as they stumbled about as if they were drunk. My next attempt was successful. I bound the kittens tightly in a garbage bag, placed them in front of the tire of my truck, and quickly drove forward. I had used several layers of trash bags, in hopes of containing kitten explosions. Unfortunately, it was not enough, and I had quite a mess to clean-up.

So that's the question. Cruel, isn't it? Lots of people think so. Do the world a favor-don't be this person!

New Administrator...

You may know I am quitting blogger (here), so a new administrator is needed... someone mature and responsible. Any takers?
