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. |
If you ask the Dane brothers they are hobby breeders
...who determines what is what and why should any breeder have a hobby that costs me $$$...If it is a hobby the breeder should pay for all expenses..if you get what I mean. It really is all about how many puppies/cats are born a year and the glut of animals we have. The Hunt Corporation would pay a very high amount ... as they should as brokers.
The difference to me is that a puppy has no control if he/she is born or not and is controlled by whomever owns him/her. They have no choices. Human's have choices when it comes to wearing a seatbelt or not but again it boils down to the high cost of insurance (medical care). When I was a kid no one wore a seatbelt, now I don't know anyone who doesn't...I am sure it has helped bring down the cost of brain damage in auto accidents....big time.
