You may be right about livestock, but there sure is something wrong with auctioning off dogs.

Livestock do not have to be socialized, so they make good pets. Dogs are not kept like barnyard animals. Most people want their dog to be part of their family. Puppies need a lot of socialization to different people, places and to different experiences while they are young, to be emotionally stable adults. Legally, dogs are classified differently than are livestock (as domestic, or companion animals).

This is why so many people who buy dogs from pet shops end up dealing with a host of Phydeaux's behavior problems, 9 times out of 10.
