Raising dogs isn't strictly an Amish endeavor.

Obviously, people wanna buy dogs, or why else would anyone, not just the Amish, raise them?....maybe the target of your ire should be the people shelling out money for dogs, not the people raising the dogs to fulfill a demand?

Can confirm. Grew up with Amish, and, as a whole, they are the most kind, decent, wholesome people you'll ever meet.

Did I meet a few asshole Amish? You betcha. In that regard, they're just like any other sector of society. So, I'm sure there's isolated incidents of sexual abuse, just like any other sector of society. But it definitely isn't rampant, because the vast majority of them are the type to best the shit out of anyone engaging in such behavior.

Can also confirm that, in fact, nearly all our their children don't attend school after the 8th grade. But the Amish kids my age were smarter in 8th than the majority of people I graduated with. So, nothing lost there...
