Animal Rights Uncompromised:
There's No Such Thing as a 'Responsible Breeder'
Most people know to avoid puppy mills and "backyard" breeders. But many kind individuals fall prey to the picket-fence appeal of so-called "responsible" breeders and fail to recognize that no matter how kindly a breeder treats his or her animals, as long as dogs and cats are dying in animal shelters and pounds because of a lack of homes, no breeding can be considered "responsible." |
Nobody has argued that PETA isn't pro adoption/rescue as are all animal welfare groups
