We supported a rescue operation of a rogue Cavalier breeder who simply bought back her own dogs at auction. It was insane. I realized then that the rescuers were only feeding the breeder’s activity.
There’s got to be some in-between here, but a good start would be for quote-unquote “rescuers” to appreciate that when you want more of something you subsidize it, and when you want less, you sanction it.
Lot of money in rescues.
It gets even weirder: http://www.animals24-7.org/2017/03/23/the-upside-down-mind-of-a-rescue-group/
