I would love to see a system where every dog that goes into a shelter/rescue the breeder would have to pay for the expense of finding it a new home. The animals would not be euthanized (as I could see breeder doing this) but a new home found as long as the animal was evaluated and deemed to be a good pet. I have never understood why the breeder makes $$$ but then is never responsible for these dogs again but I am as a taxpayer or a person who gives donations to rescue. I do not understand where my rights come in...I hear breeders talking about their right to breed anything they want and anytime they want.... sorry this is from another post that drives me nuts.....but with over 5million animals being put down every year someone is sucking in the $$$ and I (along with other taxpayers) am paying for it. |
The Dane brothers are not Hobby breeders. They are puppy millers.
Perhaps all litters should have to be microchipped in order to register them. That system would track every dog back to it's breeder.
I agree with the problem of where does one persons rights end and anothers begin. Similar to the seat belt laws, one person believe it is their right to NOT wear a seat belt, even though the taxpayers have to support this person if they become brain damaged due to them NOT wearing one.
Not to bring in another issue, just using it as an example.
