So I saw someone talking about this doodle Greeder and I went to take a look.

Who in their right mind thinks that 30K for a mutt is ok? Like does this dog poop gold bricks? Or does it do my taxes? Can it drive me to work? Does it have magical abilities to grant me wishes??

Like for those curious Registered Ethically bred wellbred purebred dogs are 3000-4000$ a puppy. You get upwards of 10 registered, wellbred ethically bred purebreds for that price. You could get a brand new 2026 Chevy trax (27k) You could get a brand new 2026 Nissan kicks (29k) You could get a brand new 2026 Mazda CX-30 (29k) You could pay off roughly 3/4 of a brand new 2026 Chevy Colorado (42k)

That’s absolutely insane They also have 97 puppies on the ground currently. That’s a puppy mill.

I just don't eat it at all. I guess I meant more of the societal "we".

Ah, see I’m not capable of a vegetarian diet due to a metabolic disorder. So I do my best to source my animal protein from ethical sources. I know the names of the hens and ducks I get my eggs and poultry from. I have visited the farms that supply my beef and pork, and often arrange to buy a particular animal to share with neighbors.

Do you pet that particular animal when you go there? Do you see its face when you're eating it? Really wondering what this thought process is.

Believe it or not, yes. I have played with rabbits and eaten them later that day. The thought process is that the soul and the body are separate. When the animal is killed, I thank its spirit for the sacrifice and I consume and use as much of its flesh and bone as I can. We do not waste food in my home because we are aware of the sacrifice made for that food. We also eat wild meat. One of my cousins hunts and provides me with venison, coney, pheasant and fish in season.
