Being in the arms of its mother a baby feels safe. The strongest and nourishment food for the little ones is milk from the mother’s breast. Support and understand a mother when she feeds her baby in public, don’t defame her.
Carly Clark from South Carolina who worked as a pet store manager posted on social media her hate filled message against breastfeeding in public, expressed strong thoughts about women who nurse in front of her kids.
In her words “I’m not sorry — The next female that tries to whip her boob out to breastfeed in front of my kids will get a black eye, move that baby bc I’ll punch it too,” “#ZeroCare #Why #InPublicLetsJustShowKidsBoobs #NotMine.”
Carly’s post quickly went viral with people being angry and upset with her thoughts. She deleted the original post but to her bad luck people screenshot it and shared it. She tried to rationalize her threats and explained it was meant just for a lady.
She wrote “I find it very immature that you as a mother would go out of your way to come to a place that you know I work at and breastfeed.”
She further explained that in general she has no problem breastfeeding in public, just women who do it in front of her kids- to those who just want to “prove a point.”
People across social media are united and standing up for all breastfeed mothers. They have also called for a ban of her employee in Petsense. However, the company took quick action and showed its support to breastfeeding mothers.
According to Petsense, it is unhappy with Carly’s post and explained that she is no longer an employee in the company. In Petsense Facebook page it was stated that the company never supports violence and also these are her individual opinions and they do not mirror the opinions of Petsense or it’s staff.
