I'm trying to flood the 'net with this

Share this, let's get rid of breeders once and for all, (add whatever you want).. 'A good Rescue centre will study their dogs and cats, whether it be by the staff or the foster furparents, (Dog's trust and Many Tears Rescue do this) they can tell a prospective owner whether the dog/cat they'd like to adopt is good with other dogs, cats, kids or is best as the only pet is the house, would a breeder do that, my arse would they. The Romanian rescues do not generally carry out securiity checks or ask if you work all day (which is a good thing of course but can deter folks who live in flats from approaching them), my son and DIL have a gorgeous dog from such a charity (these don't have actual charity status but that's what they are) I've had a stand off with a breeder over the orchards near me, who considered herself 'caring and responsible', when I confronted her with the stuff I've put here she had no defence and slung her hook'.

You think Many Tears is a good rescue? You're aware that they have contracts with huge puppy farmers in Ireland and buy their ex-breeding dogs and unsold puppies, then sell them for extortionate amounts, keeping the puppy farmers in business?

The rest of your drivel shows a complete lack of education regarding anything dog related.

No thank you. It's not my fault that other dog owners are too thick to buy dogs from reputable breeders. I'm not paying for their fuck ups.

You mention Many Tears but they are not without contraversy and so are other "reputable" Rescues. Legislation around Rescues needs tightening up IMO
I do support the cracking down on breeders, many of them are just awful frankly and The Kennel Club is no guarantee your dog isn't from a puppy farm.
For a variety of reasons some people can't have or don't want a Rescue though.
I would try and ban Rescues from abroad though, there is no need and it can go very wrong

I think pps have already said what I feel about this, but the above does not paint you in a good light OP. Confronting people who aren’t breaking the law is just harassment if you continue with it. Do you get told to fuck off quite frequently?

You lost me at "the 'net".

Is it 1998 again?

If we want to stop so many animals ending up languishing in rescues then the key is to having legal criteria for animal ownership, so that irresponsible people and idiots don’t take on pets they aren’t able to train or look after, not focus some sort of crackdown entirely on every breeder.

It’s not my fault, nor my problem, that some irresponsible people take on pets they can’t properly look after and those pets later end up in rescues. It’s not my responsibility to fix other people’s mistakes. If I’m looking for a pet, I want to know what health tests its parents had and what its breeding looks like, and I want the opportunity to raise and train that pet from scratch. I don’t want to take on the totally unknown quantity of somebody else’s adult animal that they’ve possibly ruined the temperament or health of with poor care and training, I don’t want to have to undo reactivity, separation anxiety, or aggression, and I don’t want a potential ticking timebomb health wise. Whilst you’re entitled to adopt as many rescues as you want, I don’t want a rescue pet.

YABU and sorry but your post is quite difficult to read and not in a smart way.

Too many dogs in the UK full stop, often badly trained.
