I believe in grassroot organization and I do believe changes can be made if people will write letters. I believe you could make a difference if you went after AKC and demanded they do something to protect the dogs instead of profiting like everyone else.
I believe breeding laws must change and I am starting to see more states add lemonlaws to their regulations.
I believe people have to be more concerned about the animals then about "hurt" feelings. I know that we have puppymill breeders right here on YT but because they are members people don't want to hear the truth.
I know most people talk about reputable breeders but lets be honest..just how many is that in the US? Not many. Look how many people are breeding to breed..not going to dog shows and learning as much as they can about their breed. I would love to see more laws in regards to breeding but I always see AKC and the breeders saying NO...as pretty soon you won't be able to buy a pet. I don't have the answers but I do believe we have an oversurplus of dogs on a daily basis and it continues day after day. Look at how many new breeders come to YT every single day.
I will say when I first joined YT I was just about the only person who talked about rescue or even did rescue and look at how many people are here today and are helping these animals.....Things are changing and I believe everyone of us can make a change for these wonderful animals.
