Anyone in animal rescue knows you do NOT do this because it is almost a guaranteed death sentence for the mom when this happens.
And sadly that is exactly what happened here. Sapphire, the thin momma, was euthanized shortly after her puppies were taken from her and she was left behind in the shelter.
There is absolutely NO reason to take 4-5 week old puppies and leave a mom behind. Unless you are flipping puppies because they are easier to adopt out then battered and tattered moms who carried them this far in life! Animal Rescue is about saving the lives of animals not signing their death sentence. Nursing moms in shelters have their babies as their lifeline tickets. It is their hope for a way out of the system before their time runs out.
YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR CHANCE FOR LIFE WHEN YOU TAKE THEIR PUPPIES AND LEAVE THEM BEHIND!
This is sad. This is an injustice. And this happens more than people realize.
PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT RESCUES THAT LEAVE MOMS BEHIND!

Many people are now demanding answers and accountability from the rescue that took the puppies but left Sapphire to die. At first the rescue chose to delete and block people leaving negative comments disgusted at what they had done or asking for answers and questions about where the puppies are.
Now the rescue has gone under. They have deleted their Facebook page hoping people will soon forget about Sapphire and move on.
However, that does not change the fact that the mom to those little puppies is now dead all because A Different Breed Animal Rescue chose to separate them from their mom.
They may have taken their Facebook down but....
PEOPLE ARE STILL OUTRAGED!
