If the dog-buying public is going to have to get slammed and it results in fewer breeders operating, is that a price we just can't pay? Or is it all just hopeless and we have to accept the status quo? And live with the horror stories and keep our mouths shut because no one will accept less freedom or rights or sales or oversight than exist now? |

Reputable breeders don’t place their dogs that way. The commercial breeders who sell that way have no regulations, they need no licensing and so their dogs are treated in the most inhumane ways. They are fighting this because they don’t want to be inspected, and they also don’t want anyone to know how many dogs they are selling. Most people who start a business, need some type of license, why should a dog breeder not have a license? |
This has been a very informative discussion. I'm glad that the commercial breeders who are using the loophole to sell dogs (while having horrible conditions) will be held accountable.
