It's no wonder folks are leaving here. In fuggingcredible that I have to get reemed over something like this. You guys are a real piece of work sometimes. This is the way these adoption agencies work up here.
Sensitive, a little, today?
If you see nothing wrong with this way of buying a dog, you're a grown man, it's your life and your money. But don't act all butthurt when people here don't see things the same way you do.
A dog from a rescue organization is no more of a dog than one on Craigslist that needs a new home. They are all dogs, and you're not doing anything special for "rescuing" one and "adopting" it, rather than just buying one or picking one out of a box in the parking lot at Walmart.
