Money has nothing to do with it.
It all has to do with standard of care in my opinion.
The very first thing I look for when someone applies for one of my fosters, is a good vet history. Now, please let us not get into a discussion about first time owners....I am talking about people who have had pets. I want to know exactly HOW they cared for their pets. I do not ask the vet office what they think of the person...I ask details about what level of care was given.
Either people get it or they don't. Has nothing to do with income. |

yorkiekist is making the point that you could simply make it impossible for anyone to own a dog, but that doesn't mean dogs would be better off. Here's another solution: make it illegal to breed dogs, period, offenders to be punished by death. Eventually all the dogs in the country will die of old age, and no dog will ever be mistreated again.
