Please note that I'm not against this bill, just trying to understand.  |
One thing I noticed, especially here on YT, is if a breeder in on the USDA list that means pet owners will stay away. To me seeing a breeder listed with the USDA is a huge red flag and I would warn others to stay away, hopefully that puts a dent in their business. Plus, do you honestly think puppymills are really going to put forth the effort to exercise the dogs everyday? That will require more help, which costs $$$$, you know they only care about the $$$$$.
