That means that the draconian regulation being proposed (very expensive licenses, inspections, etc.) will stop all hobby breeding as it will make it too expensive for a hobby.
Not to mention the government intrusion of inspections at all hours, waiver of Fourth Amendment protections, and paperwork. Hobby breeders work from their homes, and if you are unaware what a government search of your home is like, you have no idea what you are wishing on people.
The decent working or middle class people who raise first class dogs will be gone because they have something to lose. The only folks left will be disreputable thugs who are judgment proof (and already have a criminal record and don't care) and the politically influential puppy millers. And more puppies will be dumped because those amoral people will have the field to themselves.
Don't you see that this is not only a freedom-destroying line of thought, it has exactly the opposite effect from that you say you want?
Just one place where you are wrong: hobby breeders' dogs don't get dumped because they have a return policy. I suppose an evil person might do it anyway, but it's highly unlikely.
And another: I have never bred any of my dogs. I was planning to breed my Black Lab because she is an outstanding performer with a star-studded pedigree, but she has a genetic defect (EIC) which should not be passed on. So I spayed her, as any reputable person would do.
“Don’t you see that this is not only a freedom-destroying line of thought, it has exactly the opposite effect from that you say you want?”
This is a conservative site - not a anarchist one. There are laws in place for a reason. Just because they exist doesn’t mean you live in a police state. You profit off of an industry which can and does have an external affect on the public. There has been and will continue to be push-back when we have to deal with your nonsense. Don’t like the laws? Work on changing them and convincing the public that your plan will prevent our neighborhoods from being inundated with dropped off dogs and our tax bills increasing.
