They are trying to stop the breeding of animals of ANY kind in your home(dogs, cats, chickens, cows , pigs, birds, etc.)
The large commercial breeders want to put people like me out of business. These are the people who sell to your local pet shops.
Exactly. What is even worse, the puppy mills will get off scot-free while all the attention is focused on ethical breeders. PLEASE be heard on this issue. The ultimate goal is not only that breeding is stopped, but that companion animals (in addition to livestock) are outlawed, entirely. There has been- & is, legislation in every state (also locally) toward this very thing (e.g. pet limits & mandatory spay/ neuter) for several years now. Wayne Pacelle has stated openly that he hopes for the *extinction* of dogs. HSUS & PETA do *nothing* to “help” animals. They are about political power & control ONLY.
If you are so inclined, join one of the groups who are fighting back.
