I agree whole-heartedly with your post. This is one of my peeves about ALL breeders. As long as, as a society, we view animals as things to be purchased, rather than living things requiring love and nurturing, there will ALWAYS be a "home" for breeders who look at the animals as profit machines. If you took cash right out of the equation, well then, what would be the incentive to breed OTHER THAN for the betterment of the breed?

We have a broken society. I am often reminded of the A.I. movie by Steven Spielberg, which I think can be aptly viewed as a reflection of our society in general. Kids and animals can be cast aside so easily by so many.

I hope that one day all living creatures will be treated with respect, but I'm sure I won't see that in my lifetime.
