But IMO its irisponsable/nieve (sp) owners that are to blame. If they did their research A) its unlikely they would buy from a puppy farm B) they would know what breed suits their lifstyle - thus rendering the need to re-home and C) From investing in B. id like to think they cared about the dog enough to see it through to the end of its days rather than, out with the old and in with the new.

You may find over vaccinating and neutering too early amusing, but I certainly don't! I too think it's an appauling thing to do to such a young animal.

I'm an off duty Nurse, but you don't see me laughing publicly about my patients do you?
It's unethical, off duty or not, to chuckle about the fact your rescue puts puppies on the operating table to have their reproductive organs ripped out.
You should be ashamed at the very least.
