i think that there are many interesting ideas being brought up in this thread. but i guess we never defined what we call a BYBer
i feel that when the original post was posted; the main idea was that people should not breed irresponisbily and contribute to the pet overpopulation problem. but i think people are focusing on different parts of the article that was posted.
the way i define a BYBer is basically a 'irresponsible pet owner' is that correct? i think that if we can agree on a definition of that, it might be easier to discuss this and avoid arguments that's not necessary?
i think that BYB are people who should not be breeding their dogs, and probably shouldn't own dogs because they misunderstand the point of having a pet...dogs are not little money making machines...
