The Education of Ben

[Southern by choice]

I know that was supposed to be funny... I thought it was so stupid, I couldn't finish watching it... beyond stupid really...

It is stupid, but sadly this is today.

Many don't work or are not around the vet med/ canine world and you don't get to see this craziness first hand. Trust me you'd be shaking your head and your jaw would hit the floor as some of the crazy.

Well, I DID specify it to Beekissed and SBC for a reason
I knew you would post stating that you don't like it. Hence the reason above.

Yep, when you get to see it first hand it is very similar.
We have a farm animal rescue right down the road from us, it all started when they "rescued" a rooster from being someone's supper.
They are of the mindset that they should all be pets and shouldn't be killed because they don't lay eggs. SMH! I'll stop there as this is supposed to be "family friendly" You are right IT IS "beyond stupid really"

I get why it would be funny. I just don't think it was. Amy Schumer isn't that funny to me.

On the other hand it is hilarious when I see people looking for adoptive rooster homes.

I don't have TV so am not familiar with the actresses at all, but the concept was funny...tragically so...but truth in every joke they made.

People DO care more about the dogs than the children out there needing homes, they DO feel like they are heroes for "rescuing" dogs...sorry, unless that dog was physically removed by them from raging flood waters, a burning building, a leg hold trap or otherwise dire circumstance, they are not a "rescue" and that term cheapens the actual definition of the word. They DO make them roll around in little carts in an attempt to keep them longer...what a horrible quality of life for a dog! And they DO have a snobbery attached to their "rescue" of mutts from the pound, putting down anyone who actually raises purebred dogs and sells the pups. And I can't tell you how many times I've read about some dog or other~right here on these forums~that have "anxiety or separation" issues and are on medicine for it! People all over the world who can't get or afford medical care and the US is medicating dogs for psychological issues.

Funny as all get out to know that the very people who probably do these things(actors/actresses, among others) can still see how very stupid it all is and laughable to the rest of the world...but still stupid.

So, to me, it was incredibly funny...tragically so, because it's the truth of the world in which we live today...but funny to watch them make fun of it. If that makes any sense....

EXACTLY! I am so sick of hearing that term.
22 soldiers a day take their life they have no help and no one cries... put a "save me" ad up for dogs and money pours in. What has happened to humanity.

 

[Beekissed]

Well...they took the human part out of "humanity" it and gave it to the dogs.

But I also see where this is going... my son thinks she would do "best" here.

Not a problem SBC! Tell him you won't charge him for the professional training the dog got while he was waiting to buy the house IF he takes the dog back. Otherwise it is $100/month 'room and board' and $100/hour for training for as long as you have the dog. Pay on time or he will find the dog in his living room when he gets home from work.

Tough love kid advice from Bruce????!!!!
