As for trying everything else... how many of the writers stating 'there's a better way' have been part of the already tried 'attempts' and are they actually helping do what THEY can: homechecks, altering pets they sell, and microchipping so their animals never end up in the shelter? Answer: they are not doing ANYTHING and DENY there is even a problem!

In fact, breeders are so smug and defensive of their 'hobby' they've wasted millions on lobbyists and lawsuits while adoptable animals which THEY helped create are killed. Their reply? They just make more. That's a heck of a 'responsibility' to show the public.

Pay your taxes, license your dogs and observe the zoning laws. You keep telling us enforce the current laws! Maybe that's the answer, too. But AC is far, far too busy rounding up strays (unaltered dogs breeding other unaltered dogs) to enforce those laws. And isn't that what breeders really like about the current system?
