Like I said earlier, children are not bred in mills and sold in stores. Why doesn't the government have laws for animals...oh I have a quote for this.. "Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote." ~author unknownl |
I don't think we want the Government's hands in anymore down here. However, YTCA and other breed clubs have laws/rules/code of conduct and ethics in place to monitor their members......Much of it is self-regulated and you either have the passion to do it right for the good of the breed or you don't and breed for $$$$$$.
