We are well aware of the info you stated Karen. Our concern is by promoting "breed specific" movies the major influx of purchases and surrenders to shelters after wards. Incidentally there was a major increase in Chihuahuas at shelters after this movie, to prove our case.
Can't argue with that. There are a number of "breed specific" movies and TV shows out there from "Lassie" onwards, then again, there are movies and shows with crossbreeds too. I'm a dog groomer and dog sitter with a Cavalier, I love dogs, I love chihuahuas, and I also loved this movie, but that doesn't mean I'm going to adopt a specific breed just because I saw it in a movie or on TV. I think responsibility should be placed more on the viewers then the movie itself. However, point well made!
Actually, there was a message at the end encouraging careful and responsible adoption of dogs. Also, the movie clearly shows the wrongfullness of dog fighting and encourages adoption of homeless dogs.
Not only that, but the actors from the movie also encourage adoption from shelters. The dog who played Papi? He was from a shelter and rescued a day before he was scheduled to be put down.
Movies make people think they are in them, and some people don't deserve the love of an animal, because unlike people, an animal ONLY wants to love you. People need to look in their own hearts!
Every time I see a Chihuahua movie or a Dalmatian movie, or any breed for that matter, in a movie I think, "Oh no - we're going to see thousands of those in the shelters in a few months", and sure enough your piece illustrates that reality brilliantly. Thanks for making us all more aware.
I hope people get the MESSAGE, damnit! It's not about "wanting" a Chihuahua. It's about the fact that people should never, ever PURCHASE a dog or cat or bird, since they come from puppy mills. It's about ADOPTING innocent, dumped-off, uncared-for animals who are put into shelters, and then eventually killed, because of animal overpopulation. PLEASE ADOPT YOUR ANIMAL COMPANIONS! PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP FIND HOMES FOR THESE POOR ABANDONED ANIMAL FRIENDS! And spay and neuter! Care/help.
I want a chichuahuas! but My mom doesnt like them cause she thinks there evil and they dont do nothing but Bark and bite. :( But I think shes wrong! they are cute and nice. (I wish I could adopt one)
I have one..... And she is the sweetest thing! Just try and prove to yout mom that your responcible then show her videos of good chihuahuas...AND if she does end up getting you one Train it your best ^_^
I don't have a chihuahua, but I did adopt like 3 other dogs from the shelter, and one dog off the street ^^ still though, poor chihuahuas :( I'd adopt some but I'm already past the city limit of dogs to own xP
i.e. 101 Dalmations!
i.e. Lassie
i.e. dog fighting after the 1950's
i.e. endless!
