I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

One day he showed up and the dog's ears were bandaged. I disagreed silently. About a month later he showed up again with the dogs ears still in bandages. I asked him what was taking so long to heal. His response? He had to get them done twice since he didn't like the way they looked the first time.
I nearly hit him.

As you can see, there are dozens of dogs up for adoption, many are purebred. This is but one shelter in the Denver area and that number does not include the breed specific rescue groups.
Alice Cabrera You made your arguments wonderfully, I just had to add my two cents.
Arpit Srivastava Thank you for admitting that you've abandoned your argument. I for one appreciate that you've changed your mind and I hope that you won't try to convince any others that it's okay to breed their animals. Because your original argument, sad to say, is a large part of the problem.
not desexing your pet is irresponsible , your dog won't be the one suffering - it's the six or ten dogs in the shelter who will die because those potential homes were taken by your puppies .
