The comradery and determination and dedication to their ideas about how they should live is amazing. I have the ultimate respect for them.

Respect for work ethic, not so much for treatment of animals.

How do they treat animals?

I've watched Amish guys beating their horses. We have a rescue dog from an Amish OES breeder that started breeding her when she was barely 6 months old and bred her continuously until her litters dropped under 4 then they were going to shoot her. The rescue association we got her from collects the spent breeders and re-homes them. She's terrified of all men but she's one of the best dogs I've ever had. It's taken 3 years for her to warm up to me and she still keeps her distance whenever I'm standing up. That's just 2 I've actually witnessed.

Thanks for letting me know about that. I'm happy that you adopted that dog and had the patience to deal with that. Okay, so, maybe I have a different opinion of them. I never would have thought they would be so cruel. Hopefully most of them don't act like that.
