For all those that saw the real world website on what steve deals with everyday this is an even stronger idea of what he sees everyday. For all those who wonder why we get on you about breeding your animals when you dont know what will happen 1,5,10 years from now this is why we say what we do and why rescuers do what we do.
The following was Steve's reply to someone trying to sell puppies on another forum.
"As I said, it's against the rules here .. as well as all other MSN sponsered sites.
That said .. let me illustrate why I disaprove of selling Rottweiler Pups on this board.
This photo was taken at my shelter, on a Monday morning. We do not run the incenerator during the weekends. Any animals put down on those days, is placed in the freezer ...

You can see the Rottweiler on the bottom of that pile. You can not see the other three that were put down that weekend. In fact .. you can't tell by that picture ... there were over 40 animals in that pile.
These were Rottweilers that no-one claimed .... all Animals that were un-claimed in a 48 hour period were in that pile.
Next picture ...

I took this picture ... last week. Another Rottie waiting to be redused to ashes. Another Rottie that had to be put down for health reasons. She was four years old. Bad hips .. liver failure. She was a victom of Back Yard Breeding. Born to die at a young age. Her breeders were into it for the money ... and the extent of her problems, could have been avoided.
I see dozens of Rottweilers being put to death every month. Dozens of unwanted pets put to death every day. And I see more and more Puppies for sale every day.
Because of puppies for sale .. I don't see my job slowing down in the future. I do what I can to rescue Rotties, and place them into good families. I do this to reduse the need to breed even more reasons to go to work.
Spay and neuter ...."
This is the experience of one shelter worker who is trying to rescue and inform others. His website has been posted here before but if you would like to see that her it is.
