We have members on YT who are not respectable and we have members who are...and some members only care where they can buy the cheapest dog and some care for quality dogs. It is a mixed bag.
AKC can only survive if dogs are being registered to them and Parent Clubs do not want any rights taken away from their breeders. Law after law that comes up is turned down because of the fear of not being able to breed when a breeder wants to. All of this you can read at AKC's website under legislation. AKC does register litters from commercial volume breeders. This is also in the clubs minutes on the AKC website.
This is a very complex issue and there is tons of information on the internet to research...along with some of it on YT but it can't be answered in one thread.
To answer your question..should this area be moved to the top and then more people would read it...No..people manage to do all the games we have in this section but they can't move down one thread...No...most people are not really interested in helping make change.  |
Why,Why,Why does it all have to be so difficult ? cruelty laws should be cruelty laws and they should be the same for all states I think. And for sure the punishment needs to be stiffer and needs to be enforced. I think people don't enter this section because they can't cope with the ugly truth and they don't know what to do about it or how to do something about it. I can tell you that sometimes I have to stay away from all of it as it starts to affect my health and I cannot sleep at night. That's when I have to step back from it for awhile just to regain my strength and GO POWER. I'm sure anyone who rescues has to do the same from time to time. It takes all the strength you have and then some. Oh yea , when I said I think you already know the answer to the question, I was talking about the # of dogs that come from these mills. Seriously I think they need regs as to how many breeding pairs that 1 person is allowed. Like maybe 20 per person. I don't get how it's ok for these mills to keep producing puppies while dogs die by the thousands in shelters everyday. That's cruelty in itself.
