The vast majority of puppies and kittens sold in this country do not come from hobby breeders. Most hobby breeders gladly take back any puppy or kitten that doesn't work out (my contract stipulates that the buyers MUST bring the puppy back to me if they cannot keep it for any reason).
Pet shops don't. Puppy mills don't. Most people who breed a litter from their pet don't. And the irresponsible people who let their females wander around and get bred every time they are in season certainly don't.
Anyone who thinks hobby breeders are the problem has not done their homework.
And, I sent my emails out this morning. Hope we can stop this stupid law in it's tracks.
