Dog care and ownership

I'm amazed at how insensitive people can be. First they buy a designer pup, then find out that the pup suffers from hip dysplasia and decides that they want the dog down. This is a puppy! Why even get a puppy if you don't even want to care for it because it has hip dysplasia?! So if you have a kid and he or she has some defect, would you say, put her or him to sleep? What has the world come to? Designer dogs, rhinos being hunted down for their horns and massacred and left for dead yet still survives the ordeal...I am so sadden by society and how they behave. Do you think that just because they are animals, they do not feel pain, sadness, suffer from depression and happiness? Do you think they don't feel rejection? Should you as owners take responsibility for the pet you have bought and not just discard it just because they have a defect? Spend time with them, even with the problem they have. It isn't their fault that they have hip dysplasia. Having pets is not a status symbol for you. They are not toys for you to discard. Just because they cannot tell you how they feel, does not give you the right to behave in such a manner.
Yes I an ranting today. I feel very strongly about animal issues be it a dog, cat, lions, rhinos. Every animal has feelings. As an animal communicator, I feel each and every feeling they feel. Sometimes it's pretty overwhelming. Sometimes I just want to break down and cry. What they feel is very real and you only have to open up your heart to feel what they feel.
