Tim,
I completely understand your POV. And I also agree that supporting the advertisers that allow sites like this one to continue is a great alternative to supporting the stores that buy and sell WC. Buying WC, when aware of the impact, becomes a personal issue and there is no right or wrong. Some who have purchased WC have had horrible experiences, while others have had no troubles. I only wish the stores, and breeders, who sell WC would educate the buyers about *possible* problems and make sure they understand the importance of an immediate vet check. That would do more, in the big picture, to stop the WC trade than you and me, plus a few others, boycotting WC sellers.
Kathy
