Why is licensing a bad thing? Would you go to a restaurant that isn't inspected by the health department? I keep hearing how being licensed is not desirable. I'm just curious as to why.

Since you are in Missouri, I'll explain Missouri laws. Anything over 3 intact females is supposed to be Missouri State Licensed and inspected. You do NOT have to be USDA licensed at any time in Missouri UNLESS you sell to pet shops or brokers. So, those that are USDA licensed in Missouri made that choice, and most likely sell to pet shops or brokers. I think inspections are good, and most Missouri inspectors take their jobs seriously... at least mine does!
