It's not that easy to read a bill and understand what it's really trying to say. Probably the smallest group is that of good breeders, who truly aren't profit motivated, and are really interested in bettering the breed, however, they have no big lobby watching their back. All pet lovers should be watching their backs. |
I understand being concerned about your rights as a reputable good breeder and I know she is a great breeder and I hope she can continue to breed for years to come, but what does that have to do with shutting down a puppy mill, which is what this thread is about? A puppy mill and a reputable breeder are two completely different things. Those girls weren't protesting against good breeders... just puppy mills and backyard breeders.
