It's not uncommon to see breeders insist that they're not breeders for any one of a variety of reasons, but I came across a website today (and I'm not posting the URL because I don't want these meatheads to get hits) in which the owners claim that they're not breeders because there's a Creator who takes care of that sort of thing. (They also claim that they've got no alpha dogs.) -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - What we have here is a form of looting. -- Nobel laureate in economics George Akerlof, on Bush economic policy |

(They also claim that they've got no alpha dogs.) We had some friends years ago whose son had two rabbits. Supposedly one was male and one was female, although the distinction is one that I basically trust rabbits to make, not me. Anyway, he did not want the rabbits to breed. But he was concerned about them getting lonely if they were penned apart. So his solution was to only put them together two hours a day. I'm not certain whether they were supervised during this period of time each day or not. So, he was clearly not a breeder. His every intention was to NOT breed rabbits. Therefore whatever happened there was obviously divine intervention. In HIS defense, however, HE was eight years old. ~~Judy |

LOL!..I've never heard of an animal getting "knocked up" - only humans. (although I don't know why, it makes sense).... But it fits! LOL Darby |

Honest and truly, I laughed out loud at this. What's really funny is that a couple of generations back in my family, in the days of fire and brimstone, doom and gloom, Baptist ministers in the family, I can just picture my great-great grandfather shaking his fist at the sky, cursing God for yet another spring litter of kittens! (In my imagination, there is thunder and lightning and some really tacky sound effects.) And just imagine, they could have been neighbors! ~~Judy |
