I agree it will be hard to pass laws that will not hurt the good breeders BUT that is not an excuse to bury our heads in the sand and allow the problems to continue.

I think this is what I am trying to say but can't find a way to say it.
If you are not a part of the solution then you are a part of the problem.
"reputable breeder" is a hard term to coin. I confess I didn't read the article at the beginning of this post but numbers and opinions aside I still feel like if the laws get strict on EVERYONE, "reputable breeders" included, then we will see a positive difference. It is not all about $ it is about the physical and mental health of animals. If people cant afford to breed they should not be allowed to do so. And if people that can afford to breed abuse the privilege then they should be punished by LAW and held accountable. Only if laws change can we enforce this.
