i see that there is a difference in accidental breeding and planned breeding, but any breeding does supply the pet market IMO.
i'm just playing devil's advocate - i have adopted a pup and i plan to buy another from a breeder unless i do come across a rescue. so, i'm not boycotting breeders.
when you said that, i was just thinking - if there weren't breeders then people wanting a pet would get one of those pets without homes rather than buying one - don't you agree?
