(noun)
When a pet is chosen from a breeder or a pet shop because of it'
s breed, instead of from a pound or homeless shelter. Each time an act of breedism occurs, it, in turn, causes animal to
die because an animal was adopted from a breeder instead, and there isn't enough room in the shelters for every animal that isn't adopted. Breedism is like, what
racism is from one human to another, but from
humans to animals. Like humans, animals should not be judged on their race/breed. Buying animals is killing animals.
Norrow-minded, breedist pet owner: "Just because I baught my pet/
s from a
breeder , doesn't mean I'm breedist! I just had to have a
poodle, nothing else would do!"
Intelligent, compassionate person: "Actually, that is almost the exact deffinition of breedism"
Narrow-minded, breedist pet owner: "But it'
s not my fault those
dogs are homeless, I wasn't the one who abandoned them"
Intellegent, compassionate person: "So, does that mean, because it'
s not my fault there are starving children in the world, should I refuse to give money to charity?"
Narrow-minded, breedist pet owner: *speachless, for they have just been, as the young folk would say, owned*
