And lets face it, 25% of the shelter dogs are not from reputable breeders are they?

I really am confused by why you're upset, the article seems to be saying to me,:
1. We have an abundance of pets, so many in fact that we can't find homes for all of them all, and millions of healthy pets need to be euthanized.
2. The major contributor to the over population is NOT puppy mills but backyard breeders.
3. There is no reason to be breeding if you are not breeding to standard.
4. Spay and neuter your dogs, if you don't want to be a proper breeder, and take the time to do it right.
I would think you would agree with all of these things from your previous posts. I don't believe the article is talking about legislation, but more about why the average pet owner shouldn't become a breeder.
