And pitchforks and torches have come out, the villagers are indeed rallying - there are animal rights advocates posting all over the internet concerning this, with the majority of them being the typical "breeders are evil, all breeders should die, let's go steal these dogs and burn down their children!!!" type, irrational and jumping on every comment. Comment anything at all, in any way supporting the kennel OR simply stating an opinion about their conduct, and you are instantly an evil breeder, with no compassion, no heart, no soul, who should be stabbed and peed on. I was guilty of stating that taking the dogs would be theft, and that "for the animals" does not make you exempt from the law.
In response, someone posted an inquiry regarding this.

Please - before you indulge in a little defamation here and there -- QOUTE one person who has said that "breeders should die" ??? Please.. . and we will wait patiently for you to verify that claim. Just because "the villagers" care about what is taking place in their community, and demands that their citizens are KIND to one another and to animals, does NOT mean they are all "animal rights activists". I'm just a mom - who loves my border collies, and treats them humanely. I don't think it's asking too much of my neighbors that they do the same. So - back to your defamation/libel -- please PROVE that statement... otherwise what you have done is illegal... and my guess is it is against the policy of weebly.com.
I got to thinking. I had posted one screenshot of an animal rights activist wishing harm on people. But how many examples are there out there.
So, I submit to you, ARA's Behaving Badly. Volume One.
These will be malicious vicious posts by people, and I will edit out the names of those who do not post bad things.
Please feel free to submit your screen shots via the Contact link at the top of the page. Once I have obtained 10 screen shots, I will do another volume of ARA's Behaving Badly.
(thank you to a reader for this submission, I wanted these comments but they were deleted when I went back to screen shot)
I was grossly disappointed in the number of news websites that do not censor their comment. I thought, starting out, that Facebook would be my greatest research tool for this post, however as you can see, I believe that CBS 6 Albany was one of the worst offenders. Petey's Pack rescue group(via facebook) was also particularly bad - I didn't screen shot it, but I saw one where the group's owner called someone a worthless piece of white trash, because they breed.
Remain respectful, and remember that there are many fence sitters out there who may be swayed by your words. Only you can influence if your words affect them positively or negatively, so choose your words wisely.
As always, no name calling, insults, threats or the like in my comments. In case you've not figured it out, I am anti-bullying.
