Some things to ponder!



* If you truly love animals you don't refer to them as "it".

* If there is a genuine reason for parting with (disposing of in this case) 
a pet, you owe any potential recipient the reasons.

* You could demonstrate some compassion, "It has been well looked after and 
is in top condition", sounds more like you're selling a used car!



The tone of the seller certainly doesn't exhibit empathy to me (but I could 
be wrong).



BTW if I were in a position I would dearly love to "rescue" this seemingly 
lovable animal from a questionable fate but since I already have two small 
dogs that I love greatly it is sadly not possible.



It was the callous nature of the post that irked me, leading to my 
perception that the owner isn't a nice person (but there again maybe they 
just aren't good with words). The lack of any response seems to indicate my 
first observation was spot on! I fully appreciated that there could be 
exceptional reasons for parting with the dog but since there was no attempt 
to provide any detail one has to assume not!



Others obviously will not concur!
