The moral of the story: Nothing in life is easy. Dogs are not livestock even though most laws only protect them to that degree. People have legal rights to breed dogs for profit under the worst conditions which will ultimately ruin breed after breed and continue to fill shelters and rescue organizations to overflowing. This ensures that the rate at which dogs are euthanized will continue to increase, and the numbers are already staggering. Ethics in breeding can only be encouraged at this point in time. If you are interested in dogs, purebred (or mixed) join a local breed or all breed club. Or volunteer your time with a local rescue organization. Above all, assist in educating your friends and family so they can make responsible decisions when acquiring pets. Help them also to understand that neutering/spaying their pets is not something to be dealt with ‘later’. It is their responsibility now. All of the above is my own opinion and condensation (believe
it or not) of what I consider to be facts. If anyone believes
there is an error or that a clarification on any point is needed
please let me know
