No Responsible Breeder SELLS to Pet Shops

[Rachy1412]

Work with animals in a rescue instead of making MORE and MORE unwanted animals. Breeding animals is not your right, it is a privilage. A Privilage not many people should be allowed. You wait till you see how many animals are put to sleep each day because of breeding then maybe you will change your mind. If you want to be selfish and breed that is your choice but not your right. Breeding is fine if the animal is endangered or there isn't any in shelters but for animals like dogs,cats,rabbits,guinea pigs, small animals etc there are too many needing homes and if you breed you are creating a bigger problem.

Mist, Rachy is anti-breeder and anti-show. I've asked her before what she considers responsible breeding and she never did answer, leading me to believe she's against breeding anything for any reason.

Unless, Rachy, you'd like to answer now?

The thing about pet shops is they can't afford to buy from reputable breeders. To make a profit off of animals from reputable breeders they could not have competitive prices.

Also, the pet shops typically do not follow the rules and regulations they are given resulting in a lot of unnecessary problems.

As I said I don't believe there is a NEED for breeding while there are so many animals in shelters, so there isn't such a thing as responsible breeding at the moment. Maybe once the population problem settles down then the responsible breeders can breed. They should breed only to improve the health and not the "looks". They shouldn't show, they should be registered breeders, they should have a strict re homing policy like most rescues. All breeding animals should be kept indoors and if they have too many to put indoors they are clearly over breeding, their animals need to be treated like living creatures rather than stock that you keep in your shed. Theres plently more but those are just the some of them.

Why do you insist on trying to make me sound like an evil person for being anti-show and breeder? I am not the one forcing my pets to sit in tiny cages for 24 hours without water and I am not the one forcing my animals to have lots and lots of cute little babies just so I can get a ribbon or a few bucks.

Rachy, you are very close-minded, and in my book, not very mature. You should really be more open-minded to different things, and not think that your way is the only way and the only right way, and that everybody elses way is wrong.

Excuse me? Your not accepting my opinion either so how dare you call me immature. You haven't shown me why either showing or breeding is good, maybe if someone showed me the goodside of it I would maybe understand why some people do it.
