How many times have breeders come on YT and just tell people to vote down legistrations because they feel breeding is a right...and many people just go along with everything and don't study any of the issues because they have been frightened into believing there will be no more pets if some of these things change...
We have byb and small scale mills right here on YT but because people think the breeders are "nice" then everything continues... |
But, if you're speaking about California's AB250, that was voted down in California. YTCA and AKC fought against it. It would have put even the small ethical, reputable breeders out of business. There would have been no more dog shows in California. A similar bill was passed in Florida, very difficult to get a reputable breeder to answer phone calls or e-mails......they've gone underground and some of them have even stopped breeding and showning. Yet, Puppy Mills, Brokers and BYBers are still operating there in the open and selling sick pups.
Yes, there are BYB and small scale mills right here on YT, and you're right because they present themselves as nice and YT members really aren't as knowledgable as they think they can't spot them.
