Social Issue Poster- Irresponsible Dog Breeding

Irresponsible dog breeders include what people call backyard breeding and puppy mills.  Puppy mills are commercial breeding facilities that mass-produce dogs (and cats in cat mills) for sale through pet stores (~90%) and directly to consumers through classified ads and the internet. These mills contain over hundreds of dogs that are kept in confined, overcrowded cages with little shelter from weather and are not cleaned regularly, forcing the animals to sit and sleep in their own excrement.  Because these animals are treated like cash crops, the sick or dying animals receive little or no veterinary care.  Adult animals are continuously bred until they can no longer produce a litter, they are then discarded and destroyed.  Both kittens and puppies will be taken away from the mother at too early of an age, resulting in serious behavior problems.

“Backyard breeder” refers to dog breeders that have little to no knowledge or experience when it comes to responsibly breeding their dog.  Like the puppy mills, they are looking to make a quick profit, and therefore, will often breed their own ‘family dog,’ but they will do so without taking any proper precautions, such as a genetic health test.  Mating two dogs with an unknown genetic and behavioral history can result in serious health and behavioral issues for the puppies produced, leaving them unwanted and unhealthy.  While backyard breeders aren’t considered to be as terrible and unethical as puppy and cat mills, these are still the signs of an irresponsible breeder. Neither of these types of breeders have the best interest of the animals in mind when breeding two animals together and should be avoided at all costs when looking for a new family member.

Now Add Some Color

 

There are videos of artists on the internet that includes a drawing of an image in black and white before adding a rainbow of colors over the image on a new layer and changing the settings of the layer.  Though I am an artist myself, I am still new to the different settings of what one can do when it comes to using multiple layers over each other in drawing apps on my phone.  I use the free version of drawing apps, which means that they don't always come with these extra settings of being able to change the settings of each layer, let alone having more than one or two layers.  After seeing a specific video that really showed how these artists were creating these drawings, I finally learned that the free drawing app that I use does in fact allow for more than two layers as well as changing the settings of these layers. I was so excited that was able to create my own black and white drawing before adding a rainbow layer over it, resulting in a rainbow colored drawing that took less than a few minutes to create.

I use the free version of the drawing app Tayasui Sketches to draw on my Iphone and Ipad.
