Thanks for the compliments. I believe that ignoring things like this or pretending it doesn't exist wrong and won't stop it. This isn't something that doesn't hit close to home. We all know someone (or have done it ourselves) who has bred a pet irresponsibly. Irresponsibly breeding contributes to everything seen in the video. Every life you bring into this world is a big responsiblity and odds are that puppy or kitten will end up in bad hands when it grows up. We have to get the word out. I believe the law should step in and make it harder to breed by placing limits. At least make it so that they have to be at least 8 weeks old, (California already passed this law), have all of their shots and vet checked, and IMO be registered. The less animals made the less that will have to die like this in shelters. Many of those shelter workers are volunteers, they don't like to have to kill them, but what choice have we given them? We would never have enough cages or money to take care of them all.
