@1's comment on 'Things get spotty in r/Dalmatians when OP “adopts” a new puppy, users react'

OP comes to /r/dalmatians to show off their new pup, users debate the semantics of "adopt" vs "shop" and the ethics surrounding backyard breeding.

"So what the dog should be put down?"

"Do you mean bought, or you found at a rescue?"

Bro it's not an opinion it's adopting or buying. Did you pay money then you bought the dog it's not a hard fricking concept you're dying on the dumbest hill for no reason.

Cry about it snowflake

"That's from a BYB and you're going to have issues with her in the future. Good luck with that. You also didn't "adopt" her."

PSA for everyone thinking I don't realized possible future health issues.. I am aware, and preventive measures will be taken to the best of my abilities. If issues do arise I promise y'all swift actions will be taken. This isn't my first Dal, or dog for that matter. As of right now she's just as happy and healthy as every other dog out there. I'd appreciate it if y'all wouldn't talk about her like she's some kind of abomination. (Also I researched the breeder before purchasing and found zero negative reviews on the pups said person has produced) Yes the first pic of her is in a cage, no that is not where she was kept until someone were to purchase her. The breeder has a farm with plenty of acres for her animals to run around on. And for the second picture she was car sick when I brought her home so she wasn't feeling too hot. Thank you, and god bless you.

Yeah and I'll buy another from them if this pup turns out as good as I think she's going to, even ethical breeders can be just as bad as unethical ones. Sorry but the piece of paper doesn't matter to me.. the dog does.

>did you pay money

Don't you normally pay at adoptions, too? I thought you pay ahead of time for vaccinations and offset the costs to keep the dog alive to that point. With high end breeds, a fee to make sure you aren't a hiphop enthusiast

Yes, and they're often not cheap.

>it's for vaccinations and shit

No it's not, it's money to pay the shelter. The people working there like making money too and that's what they make money on.

I have friends who sometimes foster animals from shelters. One time they were fostering a cat. This means they were paying to feed and care for a cat (including vet bills) for the shelter all entirely free, but when they decided they wanted to adopt the cat they were foster, the shelter shook them down for like a $250 adoption fee. Obviously none of that money goes to the fosters.
