I think this is a very good article. It really bums me out when I see breeders supporting legislation that protects puppy mills because they are afraid animal rights groups will come after them next. For instance, I know a lot of breeders oppose laws limiting the number of breeding animals in one location, because some animal rights groups want to start with some really high number, like fifty, and then lower it every year until it's zero. At the same time -- fifty is really far away from zero. Can't we start at fifty, and then have a real discussion if the maximum allowable number starts to get low? |
