Well, if you care enough about abuse and neglect to care about rescue animals, then you have to concede that some laws about care standards and inspection and health guaruntees are needed to combat the problem.
What is it you'd like to do?
I don't want to see something that shuts down home breeders and hobbyists. I'd like to hear more about what Calpernia knows about the issue of AWA and home kennel licences. But if it does entail the ineligeibilty of home breeders to do what they do, then I'm against it. There has to be enough flexibility to permit breeding, but without heavy handed government mandates. I'd also hate to see rescue groups get hit in the teeth. And will the fees from licensing be low enough for home breeders/rescues to afford, but still cover the cost of inspections. I'd also like to know what the standards are for inspection. There needs to be a way to target puppy mills without closing the good breeders and rescuers.
