Agreed about the feds' power grabs but for once, they're doing something right - for the wrong reasons, of course. Hobby breeding? That should be regulated, even stopped. We have millions of animals being put to death every day in this country because they cannot be adopted out. It hasn't occurred to these small-minded hobbyists that they shouldn't be exacerbating that problem by producing yet more? Why don't you start thinking of lives in the balance, instead of personal profit?
Quoting: Sweetshrub Exactly. Hobby breeding?? Purebred animals are not a hobby, they are a science, and no respectable breeder would call themselves a hobby breeder - or be opposed to this bill. Bull. A person that breeds for a hobby means they are not focusing on money, would you want people called a "professional breeder" and use it as their occupation? Then money would be the main motivator, get it? You don't have a clue. The correct term would be "Amateur Breeder", meaning one who breeds toward specific goals other than money, while aspiring toward expertise. This is the use intended in the term "Amateur Radio". Unfortunately the term "amateur" as been misused in the country to mean of minimal or lesser expertise. No no.. Amateur breeders have professional mentors and are attemmpting to do things RIGHT. Including all health testing, showing, etc. Amateurs are like apprentices. Hobby breeders could care less about the quality of the breed and more about saving a buck and selling their pups for less stating "its just nature" to throw their 2 pets together and hope to sell the offspring as quickly as possible to get the most profit, with the least effort. The proper term for these people is "backyard breeder". They are scum. But they THINK they are doing the world a favor. So they are the worst kind of scum who dont even realize how scummy they are.
