Whoopi Fucking Goldberg. Back in the day we loved her in spite of Sister Act, but now she has joined the ranks of some of the most annoying people by becoming a gossiper on The View. This show is annoying by itself. Who wants to spend their mornings listening to women banter and shout over each other, especially self righteous Conservatives like Elisabeth Hasslebeck?
Whoopi's "view" is supposed to be that of the laid back anti-female. After all, she doesn't carry a purse, spends no time on makeup and acts like the street smart tough nut who cuts straight to the point. I sort of almost liked her. Until the other day.
You know how the View co-hosts gab about "hot topics" while their soccer mom audience nods in approval? Well, the ladies touched on the subject of puppy mills a few days ago and Whoopi really let the shit fly. She feels that she should have "the right" to buy a puppy from a pet store. See, bad "breeders", don't give a flying rat's ass where their dogs end up, because they just want the money that comes from selling poorly bred Chihuahuas to wannabe Paris Hiltons. So, they take the pups to a pet store, where they get to live in shit stained cages waiting for just about anyone to decide that they want a new, cute puppy. Good breeders don't do this, because they want to know where their dogs are going and they carefully screen homes.
Those pups in the window at the pet store in your local mall came from places like this:
and their parents likely looked like this:
So, instead of standing up for the dogs and going to a REAL breeder or, better yet, a shelter, Whoopi thinks that she has the "right" to buy a dog and support this trade. Seriously? Are you so beyond rich and out of touch with the real world that you think that hoards of innocent, living creatures should lie in wait in shit filled crates with fur matted with urine so that YOU can have the right to your precious, poorly bred, sickly "purebred" puppy? Fuck you!
I really hope that this was some sort of mix up, like you honestly didn't know the plight of these dogs. That you have this image in your head of perfect puppy mills amongst rainbows with pink rose petals falling from the sky.
But, even if you are living under a rock and you didn't know? It just makes you more of a colossal idiot. You must have fact checkers, or you must at least have an idea of what your hot topics will be, enough that you should have at least googled the subject prior to infecting the millions of viewers with your uneducated, self righteous bullshit. Whoopi Goldberg, go fuck yourself!





i agree that pet stores are a bad business, but they're still animals, many of them are, just as you pointed out, poorly-bred and sickly, and they need love too.
ReplyDeletecertainly no one is saying that those dogs don't deserve love, what we'd like is for those dogs to NOT BE THERE IN THAT SITUATION in the first place. by supporting pet stores (by buying their pets), in turn you support the mills and byb who exploit the animals in the first place.
ReplyDeletevote with your dollar and choose to NOT support the ones who treat the dogs like shit. even if you buy the puppy mill pup out of pity, you're still giving them money and supporting them.
not to mention whatever percentage actually survives their inbred breeding flaws will end up in a shelter, or to another backyard crap breeder, who will have more puppies that go to crap homes for 6 months until they aren't puppies and then to shelters where they are killed. thanks whoopie, i always hated you, and i fucking hate you more now.
ReplyDeleteif you buy from a pet store you're supporting it, as long as puppy buy from these shit holes they will continue to sell dogs.
ReplyDeleteIm a behaviorist and every pet mill i am called on for a consultation has medical issues and behavior issues, stop supporting them buy buying them.
stand outside the store with those lovely pictures up top, go in the store ask to see the breeder paperwork, shot records give them a fucking hard time, thats what i do, when were they wormed, what vaccines have they had.
sorry meant to say as long as people buy puppies, im so pissed i cant type!
