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. |
I agree there is a fine line between who is a hobby breeder and who is a byb. And I know Jeff Dane thinks hes a hobby breeder
