It makes your blood boil!

I highlighted on here a few months back my dismay at how freely some people would pass their broods around as if they were a piece of meat and then claim to actually care about them, whilst this is a minority it still does not sit pretty with myself and I can fully understand why certain groups opposed to racing get angry.
Well I have just read a piece on Greyhound Data and it made my blood boil, first off someone decides that at the tender age of 8 ½ they will take a first litter of their bitch, thats all fine and dandy albeit a bit strange, lots of problems occurred during the birth and the bitch looked a wreck on completion of the birth, this was in June.
Today an appeal has went out from this person asking for someone to home the bitch, the bitch is seemingly great in the house and “ You would never know she is there” but she owns a Staffie and it does not like other dogs and as she has recently taken on a new brood it would appear that this poor bitch is being pushed out, reading a separate thread I would not be too surprised to hear shortly that she has taken on yet another 1, I have no problems her trying to rehome the bitch but the tears, the need for the perfect home to be found, the “How much I love her” lines wears very thin when it is blatantly obvious that it is a case of boot her into touch in order to make room for others, this makes me annoyed and have absolutely NO time for people like this.
The bitch BTW is very under nourished and in the words of the owner herself “ Looks like she has been neglected”, how on earth ANYONE could pass on anything to her is way beyond me, it just shows that some people pass on stock without first vetting where they are going too, it makes me wonder if I am in the right sport.
Whilst some may not like me saying this and some will throw pity her way, personally I find it utterly disgusting and she deserves any sh-t thrown her way.
I hope that cases like this will perhaps have others taking more care were they pass broods onto.
