#I’m in Pyrenees groups and they’re mostly normal about it

People in breed-specific groups on the internet: I love this breed and their physical traits and their specific personality that was achieved through lots of selective breeding!

Also people in breed-specific groups on the internet, the moment someone suggests they might want to intentionally and ethically breed more of that breed, or purchase from a responsible breeder: Ew what’s wrong with you don’t you know you are LITERALLY KILLING animals in shelters if you buy from a breeder what do you MEAN you want to be reasonably sure your pet won’t die of a heart problem at 3 or develop arthritis at 5 or have a completely different temperament than the breed you signed up for… wow… you really are a monster who wants animals to die.

Like. If you’re hardcore anti-breeder in general, I don’t agree but I respect it. If you are a fan of a SPECIFIC BREED OF DOMESTIC ANIMAL and lose your shit whenever anyone talks about intentionally, ethically, responsibly creating or acquiring more healthy individuals of that breed… do you just want the breed to stop existing? Because it sounds like you want the breed to stop existing.
