  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

Dog breeders are disgusting parasites who profit from dog's suffering followed by the other traders.

If you buy breeds, you are also a disgusting parasite.

About time we start calling this shit what it is and make people who cause this suffering pay for it. But really this must be stopped.

Agree, feeling entitled to a whole other species to direct it's evolution for our own purposes is wrong on it's own*. To then let "less desirable" animals die in favor of "more desirable" for what amounts to a fashion choice for most people is sickening.

  • While we should not perpetuate the domination of other species, we should care for those animals that need our help.
