I dont think that MY rights as a breeder/exhibitor should be taken away, altered, inspected by people with an agenda or legislated up the ying-yang because of OTHER PEOPLES IRRESPONSIBILITIES! For the most part, the rsponsible exhibitor breeder/hobby breeder is NOT the cause of this over-whelming problem. Why is it that we hobby/exhibitor breeders always get dragged into it? Why is it that the pet stores and puppy mills NEVER seem to be effected by these stupid bills? There is even a bill being introduced in Illinoise that will require breeders to be finger-printed. What a CROCK!! Like we are criminals if we dare to breed a litter.
I really feel sorry for all the animals that nobody wants, I really do. But after YEARS of feeling sorry, trying to educate the stupid public and making donations every month to rescues with no results, you kind of start feeling that its "not my problem" anymore. Sorry if its sounds harsh, but it is what it is.
