Interesting, Jim. Very interesting.
What I found most interesting is how the "Millers" or huge volume breeders are using organizations such as this to make "Animal Welfare" dirty words. You can see how these entities are talking about laws and such and how what they're saying is even seen
here at times when some people believe that "Animal Welfare" always equals "no more pets". It's just not true. Sure, some folks here at YT clearly do not like a couple of Animal Welfare organizations - and I get why.
But we shouldn't let these HUGE, volume breeders brainwash folks into thinking that all Animal Welfare=fanatics who don't want pets to exist. (I was reading here, specifically:
Wisconsin Professional Pet Breeders Association)
I think some of what I read there also speaks to Nancy's point of no one looking out for the small breeder...and that it is these volume breeders who are trying scare and alarm the small breeder so that the volume breeders can keep churning puppies out, status quo. Interestingly, they're calling all legislation Anti-Pet Legislation....please! Ridiculous.
