You are absolutely correct about the way that "good" people are brainwashed into thinking that they must never want to make a profit at anything, i.e. "greed". Self interest to a reasonable extent is a very healthy and normal thing. Greed to the extent that your activities harm others unfairly is another thing. But raising your dogs with a profit incentive is not ethically / morally wrong. I used to think that way, because I too was brainwashed by the popular culture, family culture, etc. I stopped raising dogs when I realized that I was "in the business of losing money, raising nice pets for people who did not appreciate it". I used to use an office cubicle metaphor: "Doing a good job around here is like wetting your pants in a dark suit.. You get a warm feeling, but nobody notices" LOL.. And I added to it: "And after the warm feeling is passed, you feel cold and pissed on". EXACTLY my feeling! I tried so hard to do something good, to "put back" into society, only to realize that society doesn't give a shit! The joke was on me!!!! All of my altruism and hopes and dreams came crashing down into the the grim morass which is reality!!! Just don't be anyone's fool.. That's what I say. We all should have read Aesop's Fables when we were kids, and taken them to heart. It's not too late. Read them, because they talk about stuff like this, where people talk you out of your lunch money, using your own psychological frailties to do it. Ayn Rand had it right. She talked about something she called, "enlightened self-interest". But her ideas seem to have fallen to the wayside. Nobody gets it that we should have a right to take care of ourselves. This is a failing of our Christian-based culture. I don't fault Christianity.. I lament that no one really seems to understand or teach it's true principles. We are taught in this society that "greed" is bad, and that we are obligated to help others. Yes, it is a nice thing to do, but there are parasites looking to take advantage of people with such inclinations. I think it is a big play on the dependant / co-dependant, user / enabler dynamic which is so common in family dynamics were immature, irresponsible people continue to burden parents,  or where drug users and alcoholics keep their unwitting enablers scrambling to meet the challenges heaped upon them. --- On Thu, 10/16/08, Thomas Kirby <slowswimmer1@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Thomas Kirby <slowswimmer1@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: dog_anti-rescue_anti-peta_new NAIA To: dog_anti-rescue_anti-peta_new@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, October 16, 2008, 12:06 PM And one thing that good people would never, ever do would be to keep blacklists of known animal rights terrorists or set traps for them, like advertising animals for sale and having friends stand by with pepper spray and baseball bats.  Unfortunately we also don't seem to gather much evidence for prosecution.  Nice people don't do things like that.  People don't understand the need to stand up against what is another class of burglars, vandals, and terrorists. We have to distrust breeders and the people who buy pups.  This SUCKS.  I also hate the fact that bottom feeders may be better money managers, because they know how to make millions from a few dollars here, a few dollars there, and decent people don't seem to think enough of themselves to earn and hold on to money.  This comes from all of this talk about altruism being so great, so if you're a decent person, you let parasites take all that you have and you barely have enough to feed yourself so you can do it again. Who says that it's right?  The parasites do, obviously.  Parasites have to weaken their host so that the host cannot defend itself.  They also have to keep the host alive, and they can use the things that they do to keep the host alive to claim that they are good guys. At some point a person or a culture has to risk everything to do a delousing.  This needs to be done before the louses own everything and can bring it all down.

Mandatory spay and neuter means pets must grow old and die without replacements. No more babies, no more pets in our homes.  Stop it before it's nationwide. Sterile animals cannot replenish themselves. It's the "facts" of life.
