It bothers me so much that millions of dogs are being put to sleep each year, I really never thought about the "money it's costing tax payers" but that is exactly the way we need to approach it to get lawmakers and the general public to do something.


I can't even imagine small breeders being against it, but I know large breeders, will fight this, it would cut down on their profits substantially.
I remember when the light bulb went off in my head about my taxes supporting the shelters and I was also doing rescue in AZ at the time and said this is wrong. I have been saying this on YT for 3 or 4 years (obviously not as loud as I should or you would have seen it..haha) I also know you cannot always approach everything emotionally about these issues...some people don't care but if you tell them you are hitting their pocketbook then maybe they will start to see the issue...
