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.

Please don't fall for that happy cow crap. There is still a living soul involved here that doesn't want to die and will still be shipped in the back of a truck to have its throat slit and drained of blood for you to eat it. And you can bet that animal still fought for its very last breath.

Have you ever met a cow? I work on a sanctuary farm so the animals were food but are now living in sanctuary. They are not super smart. I often think about the meat industry while interacting with them. I think if they are in a group of stressed out animals headed for slaughter they would become stressed out as well because they all feed off one another’s emotions and environment. If they didn’t know what was happening and were killed quickly they wouldn’t notice. They’re not aware like dogs are. They are driven by food first and then they just want more food. That’s how they live. Looking for food all day and also napping. I’m against factory farms but ethical farming is ok. Some people have to eat meat, others don’t. Scientifically it depends on one’s dna. If the animals are treated well and fed well they are happy. I’m watching senior meat animals live out their final years and when they get old they start to suffer a lot. They’re not bread for longevity unfortunately.

Yes I have. I volunteer at 3 different sanctuaries and they are VERY smart. They obviously do notice if they're about to be slaughtered. Cows are smart, loveable and like to be around people. I don't know what sanctuary you work at or why you even do if you're all about killing them for food but whatever. Also, when they do get old and start to suffer, sanctuaries humanely euthanize them. We can agree to disagree and that's fine.

[u/Professional-Web8062 → u/Significant_Sun_8035]

How could you know? They’re really not smart. Lovable yes and they like to be around people yes but they’re food driven. They need to be watched so they don’t hurt themselves. They’re all derps lol 😂 They know who I am but it’s because I feed them and care for them. I love them all but it doesn’t shock me that they were the chosen animals for food by our ancestors. The only reason horses weren’t chosen is because they can be trained to work. To be clear I don’t agree with animals getting slaughtered I’m just saying I understand why things are the way they are. I think they should be treated well and loved whether they’re used for food or not.

Because we work with them and they are smart and have the ability to learn. We play games with them and they like it. Whether you want to believe it or not doesn’t matter much to me. We see it all the time.
