The bill that is on the table in El Paso, TX, bans all dog/cat sales "backyard" breeders and only allows "competition dog and cat breeders"to sell animals "IF' they qualify and are "Approved" by the Animal Service director.
Breeder/exhibitor's opposition to this is that the director will be able to control which breed continue to exist or become extinct.
I for one am not sure how they got this idea from, as I haven't fully researched it. I myself find the concept a good one and maybe with a bit of tweeking it would be acceptable.. |
I would be worried who the animal service director is and what his/her agenda is. What criteria would they use? Will the director need to know the standard for each breed?
