Limitless breeding by any and all is producing more dogs than the population is able to responsibly handle. Nations that must kill millions of dogs each year need to regulate breeding since people often won't regulate themselves at all. Indiscriminate breeding of dogs by any and all amateurs who give away or sell dogs to anyone when hundreds or thousands of dogs are getting the needle every day makes no sense whatsoever to me. And our tax dollars are paying for the excessive breeding practices by having to support the shelters and buy the tools to kill the very animal so many say they love. Why in the world anybody who is not a reputable and responsible breeder would add to this worldwide horror is beyond me.

Slippery slope.
