Behind the Kennel Doors: Incomprehensible Continuation of Puppy Sales to Balihara Ranch

by | Jul 11, 2024

Today, we delve into a story that has stirred the hearts of many, a story that revolves around the Balihara Ranch kennel.

Recently, a picture surfaced on social media, a picture that has sparked outrage and concern among the people who know the truth about Balihara Ranch’s unethical breeding practices. It was a picture of a new Bernese Mountain Dog, a puppy that the owner of Balihara Ranch had acquired from another kennel. This image, while seemingly innocent, raises a multitude of questions about the ethics of dog breeding and the responsibilities of breeders.

It is deeply troubling to consider the conditions at the Balihara Ranch kennel. The question that arises is, how can anyone willingly sell their cherished puppy in such unfavorable circumstances?

The love and care that a pet owner has for their puppy should extend beyond the moment of sale. It should encompass concern for the environment in which their beloved pet will continue to grow and live. Yet, it appears that this fundamental aspect of pet ownership is being overlooked in the case of the Balihara Ranch kennel.

The puppy, once a cherished member of a family, is now just one among dozens of dogs in the yard of Balihara Ranch. The individuality and unique personality of the puppy are lost in the crowd, reduced to a mere number. This puppy becomes one of the thousands of dogs that have passed through the hands of the owner of Balihara Ranch.

The harsh reality is that, for some, their dogs are merely a means to an end and a great financial gain. Are the breeders selling their puppy to the Balihara Ranch kennel okay with the fact that their beloved dog will just be a money-making machine, giving birth to puppies, and the dog will only come out of the pen to be mated and, with a bit of luck, to be sporadically shown? If a dog does not have the luck and appealing appearance to attend dog shows, he will most probably be kept in a pen for his entire life. This is a life no living being deserves.

The illusion created on social media paints a picture of the Balihara Ranch owner as a reputable breeder, an international dog judge even, but the reality behind the scenes is far from this facade. Are people really only swayed by this illusion? Is it enough for them that they see only the tinsel?

This situation raises serious ethical questions about the practices at Balihara Ranch. It is a call to action for all pet owners and animal lovers to ensure that their pets are placed in loving and caring environments that value their individuality and well-being. It is a reminder that every pet deserves more than just being a number in a yard; they deserve a home where they are loved and cherished.

This is a plea for change, a call to action for all those involved in the world of dog breeding. We must prioritize the welfare of these animals over profit. We must ensure that every dog is more than just a number, more than just a commodity. They deserve love, care, and a life worth living.

Let us not be swayed by the illusions created on social media. Let us see beyond the facade and make informed decisions. Let us stand together for the ethical treatment of all animals, for they, too, deserve a life filled with love and respect.

In conclusion, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that unethical practices such as those occurring at Balihara Ranch are brought to light and addressed. Our pets depend on us for their well-being, and we must not let them down.
